No, you push with your rear leg (observe the ankle movement). BSS is a single leg exercise. The only reason you are *resting* the other leg on the bench is so it wouldn't be on the way.

>Advice for new runners:
- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);
- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and
- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).

First suggestion- see if your local club has any masters athletes or if they have coaches willing to train one. I started back self-trained then got myself into a group.
If you don't want to / can't do that then you need to work on speed, speed endurance, strength and (400m) a little bit of aerobic work.
If you are happy with your basic speed then I would be looking at adding a few sessions like 3x300, 4x250 quick with long recovery (10-12 mins) between to work on your ability to hold on to a high pace.
Add some tempos occasionally (not the same as distance tempo) such as 2 sets of 6x100m with walk back recovery to build aerobic conditioning.
Don't lose sight of speed though, you need to work on that to stop it decaying when you do more endurance work, so repeat 40 - 60m with good recovery between each. This is important if you are going to be running 1-200m.
Speed sessions should total no more than 3-350m (so 5×60) as anything else becomes endurance - cue general /roon/ mockery.
Main thing to keep an eye on as a masters athlete is consistency and not getting injured. Improvement takes a lot longer as you age, and injuries don't heal quickly.
Phonefagging so maybe a few typos...

Easy run today, got to a 6:00/km avg pace without pushing. I guess soon easy runs will be easy runs and not easy jogs anymore for good.

Loading tendons is how they heal, you want to tape it up so that you don’t feel pain when doing the movement that hurts it and keep going

>Who is /fat/ for?
For Insidiously Sinister Secretive Stout Sinners who are working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros), LoseIt (great for both), or Waistline (FOSS).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.

Never skip your routine more than twice, self harm yourself if you have to and after you reach your goal weight, you have to maintain it. sound simple but I got fat again after a year, all me, completely my fault I'm a fraud.

i fucked mine up many years ago doing lying chest flies (NEVER do these, terrible exercise), and my shoulder felt messed up for years afterwards. what worked was slow and steady exercise, focus on form, many variations, over a long time (years). now it feels normal again, but it felt weird for 5 years man. not fun.

if you messed it up doing cable flies it's either bad form or too much weight (leading to bad form - don't ego lift). i assume you let the cable pull your arm too far back. in effect the same thing which happened to my left shoulder doing lying chest flies.

>TLDR: no it won't heal on its own, only with intentional exercise with focus on form and not pushing the limits

He keeps barking like a chihuahua about "muh science lifting" even though NFL coaches have already gotten science based lifting down. It's as simple as squatting and benching with progressively heavier weights. Also he's weirdly anti-anime which makes it look like he's overcompensating for being a manlet. Meanwhile the actual giants like Eddie Hall have Dragon Ball posters in their home gyms.

This. Jeff’s such a pencilneck for 3 reasons: 1, he’s constantly stretching his neck in every photo and video to milk every nanometer of height. 2, he almost exclusively does isolations with almost no yoke, neck or dedicated trap training. 3, the little trap training he does is complete shit, he’s preached kelso shrugs forever yet they do nothing for him. It also doesn’t help that he’s just not naturally meant to be big, so any size he does put on just makes him look like a skinny dude in a muscle suit.
>>
>>77085748
He did a neck training video once that was hilarious because he puts a contraption on his head that looks like a medieval torture device. In additon to his other retarded meme-worthy exercises and my overall active imagination, I picture him uploading a video about new scientific neck exercises which is basically him hanging himself from a pullup bar and doing pained contortions for reps
