It's perfectly fine if you are beginner/intermediate. Remember to stay close to muscular failure (if your exercises form is safe), keep a progressive overload and take rest days/deload weeks. Don't hesitate to do some variations in your training : more or less volume, more or less intensity...

5 exercises is amply sufficient. For aesthetics, frequency is more important than quantity : it's better to have 2 exercises 2 times per week than 5 exercises 1 time per week (if your sets stay close to muscular failure of course).

Hi, it depends on your goals. Do you practice for aesthetics (bodybuilding) ? Strength ? Fitness ? Improving sport performance ?

Thank you ! It works perfectly.

 

Hi everybody, I'm new to lemmy and I was wondering if it is possible to change UI design of lemm.ee on desktop ? On my smartphone I'm using Eternity, which is perfect, and I saw a nice layout on desktop called photon but I don't know if lemm.ee support it.

Thanks a lot

I hope you will heal soon ! The litterature recommand stretching and progressive resistance training of the muscle groups involved in the movements that limit you. 😊

I'm currently working in cardiology so it's a little bit out of my scope. 😬 It doesn't seem to be well studied but you can find some informations here. Have you ever consulted a physiotherapist ? They are more specialized in pain management than exercise physiologists.

I am an exercise physiologist. There is no active community on reddit, so even less on lemmy. If you know some rehabilitation or physical exercise subs I'll be happy to join them ! :)
