hey scott i discontinued gym due to some stupid reasons but now m doing it again and m regular from april..now i have doubts again .😃  please tell me... i am begineer but not complete begineer as i am training from 2 years but not regular at all sometimes i miss complete 6 months or sometimes 2 months...and i am male its showing female :D

 

1. when i shud take my protein shake as soon as possible?? or can i take it after 15-20 min after workout?

 

2. u say in squats go all the way down but i have seen ur instagram story in which ur were going around 90% or 85% down(maybe i am wrong) and i tried this too when i go 85-90% i feel more pressure dunt know where maybe on knee or quads but i feel it... but when i go all the way down squat becomes lil bit easy.... so my question is shud i go all the way till my hamstring touches my calves..or shud i go around 90% down..

 

3. i am following ur push pull legs program so is dat fine to reduce sometimes time period from 30 seconds to 20 seconds??? and if i am doing say an exercise for tricep but i am able to do only 4 reps with say 5 plates then wat i do normally is i reduce weight to 4 plates and do few more reps to complete a set of around 8-10 reps is that fine??? and i saw everyone in gym do progressively heavy weight like 10 kg in first set then 12.5 and so on and max weight in last set..but i go heaviest weight in my first set and then reduce weight when i cant lift dat particular weight and i increases reps.. is dat fine?? sometimes i can only do 2 rep with some heavy weight then i reduce it and then do 3 rep then i reduce it and then do rest 3 rep or sometimes i do 12 reps with light weight,,,,( mostly in machine workouts lke tricep cable extension,leg raises with machine and hamstring leg exercise with machine)

 

4. and can i add push ups in the end of push workout?? to gain more chest???

 

5. how much weight shud i gain while bullking currently i am 56 kg and my height is 5.8 and body fat around 11% ... so dat leads to around 49 or 50 kg lean muscles ..my target is of 63 kg pure muscles and total of 70 kg body weight... currently i am targetting 2 kg per month is dat fine or shud i target more?? now u vl say u shud be calorie surplus i know bro ! but i dont know how much i am burning and i cant properly check dat on a website i checked it..dat website asked me everything how many hours i sleep and all that and the result came only 1600 calorie but when i take 2000 calories i loose my weight next day..so wat i do is i check my weight everyday if its increasing 100 gram or 200 gram per day means i am doing fine ....but sometimes i loose 200 gram and then i add few calories next day and surprisingly i gain 1 kg in a day sometimes...!! ...so my question is... if i gain sometimes say 1 kg overnight or 800 gram then i TRY TO LOOSE WEIGHT in next TWO days...because my target is to gain only 2 kg per month... so the main question is WILL I GAIN MUSCLE IF I AM LOOSING MY EXTRA WEIGHT IN THIS CASE IF I AM TAKING PROPER PROTEIN AROUND 120-130-140 GRAMS PER DAY..?? and how much shud i target per month 2 or 3 kg?

 

6. and whenever i was doing tricep extension with machine from v shape or straight bar.. i was holding at the bottom for 4-5 seconds(because it burns my tricep by doing this :P) means i was doing it all wrong as i watched ur one video yesterday ...u were saying these are all cheat and recover techniques...so i shud focus on jst complete range of motion no holding at the bottom?

 

7.How much protein my body can absorb at a time..for example in dinner if i am eating 4 indian bread each having 3 gram of protein = 12 gram of protein and pulses(around 5-10 gram protein)i.e 20 gram protein around then because of lack of time i take protein shake immediately with milk(500ml)(15gram protein) half scoop protein i.e 12.5 protein so total is = 47.5 gram protein..will my body absorb all?? i watched a video in which dat guy was telling as a beginner we can absorb around 40 gram of protein only... i am not complete begineer as i mentioned..but please tell if i am doing wrong or right....

 

8. WHILE doing squats or any other exercise my question is... if i am doing 4-5 reps with 12.5 kg but u said ur first set shud be of 7 reps then shud i lower my weight NEXT WEIGHT IN MY GYM IS 10KG so shud i do rest reps with lower 10kg?? SAME QUESTION IN DUMBELL PRESS BARBELL PRESS.... except squat most of time while i am using dumbell i do 3-4 reps with 10kg and then drop my weight to 7.5 kg and do rest 4 reps...

@rexloud I answered the first 5 questions in your other thread man!

 

6. Holding the weight at the bottom is fine, you can do that. That's not a Cheat and Recover technique. It just means you're doing an isometric contraction at the bottom position of each rep, so you can keep doing that!

 

7. I'll link you to my own video about this below!

 

8. Are you talking about with the Push / Pull/ Legs program? You should be INCREASING the weight as you do fewer reps. So if you do 12.5kg for the first set of 7, then you should move to 15kg or 17.5kg for the next set and keep increasing it as you go down towards the set of 3 reps.
