Date: May 4th, 2024 12:16 PM Author: sexy pervert I’m starting from zero and basically sedentary other than walking the dog and running through airports.
My wife swears by StrongLifts and has used it for several months now. She was always in pretty good shape (way better than me), but now is even slimmer with a tighter butt.
I used it today and it seemed ok. But I know nothing. |

Date: May 5th, 2024 4:16 PM Author: ruddy laughsome university persian I probably put in 30 minutes of pure poasting when I'm at the gym so it's not for me.

Date: May 5th, 2024 4:03 PM Author: grizzly toaster codepig I'm a fan of Westside's conjugated periodization, but it's not for non-enhanced or middle-age laypeople.

day 7: rest
try to add weight as often as you can
eat a lot and eat healthy, sleep a lot
There are probably a million ways to do the above better, but Im also a dumb middle aged guy and the above seems to work for me.
Best advice: Spend a thousand or so and get a squat rack, bench, bar, plates, and some dumbbells. You'll spend the same for gym membership anyway, so just spend it upfront and save the 40 minute roundtrip commute. You can do all of this at ~30m a day |
|
Date: May 5th, 2024 12:01 PM Author: grizzly toaster codepig If you need an "app" to start lifting weights in middle age, you've already failed.
There's nothing to "start." You walk into the rack and squat. You're done when you collapse.
No posting. No discussion. No debate. No pictures. Just fucking squat. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2024 3:57 PM Author: grizzly toaster codepig But samoth, that would require *gasp* effort! That's the one thing I simply cannot give.
Please provide apps, subscriptions, and extremely complex 7-day full-body workout routines [(c) Flex Magazine 1994] that I will absolutely fail to follow. Additionally, please provide a list of overpriced supplements with the best placebo effects on the market.
I'll pay whatever it takes so long as I don't have to put in effort! |

Date: June 24th, 2024 9:55 AM Author: :;:;;;:;:;;;:;:;:;:; Why so sure? It would be very normal for somebody lifting heavy for the first time to put on significant muscle quickly.
If your goal is to lose weight, up your protein intake and decrease everything else. Since you’re a new lifter and talking about losing weight, even in a deficit I think you’d continue to accrue meaningful muscle mass while shedding fat.
As you approach goal weight that will stop happening and you’ll need to think about the next level of training and diet to see further gains. |
