You won't accidentally get too big, retard. If you want to be low bodyfat %, just eat somewhat clean at your caloric maintenance and do strength training. A bro-split (doing each bodypart once a week with 2 days off) would be just fine for a beginner.

39 old fag here, not total beginner but not worked out properly for 3-4 years now. Was doing a 3-4 day split before, something like
1.-whole body w/chest
(chest press, push up, pull up, dead lift, ab exercise variation, in 2 blocks of 4 super sets)
2.-legs
3.-arms & chest
4. Shoulders
5. Back

Or some variation of above with rest days thrown in. Might start by going back to doing each body part once a week to start though.

Diet - only water, eat meat, moderate carbs. One bad thing is sugar gotta cut that down but I'm a junkie at this point

Good. You don't look like a complete retard but I have many disagreements with your routine. I'm a big fan of scooby, rippletits and athlean-x and suggest watching them. /fit/'s sticky is also a good starting point if you need help with the basics. I did SL and managed to almost hit 1/2/3/4 in 6 months. SS is also good if done correctly. I would advise not to fall for memes but you're a marine and i'm a nolinker, let's be real here.

Start with the fucking basics. Full body routine every 2 to 3 days. Later on you can switch to a push pull split. Of course don't eat shit and drink softdrinks. Eat good food and only drink water and natural fruit juice. Do some HIIT, cardio sessions once in a while too. Those are the basics and that's all you need as long as you stick to it! See some first gains after a few months. Increase your training weights very slowly but consistently. Try different rep ranges, 6-10, 10-14, 14-20. Every body reacts differently and has their best rep range or "time under tension" for the best muscular growth. Beside your good food you may take some additional protein and creatine too. You can ditch all other subs, they only cost money.

Pretty fit but I'm a fucking 35 year old boomer at this point and can't get in the same shape I was in my late teens/early 20's (was ripped). Wondering if I should try some supplements like a fat burner or something, the hardest thing has been having my abs show even though they're super strong right now. The 30's spare tire is impossible to get rid of completely for me, it's just like a half inch of fat permanently circling my waist. Getting old sucks, lads. Enjoy youth while you can.

>>13784784
Thanks anon. Maybe let me add that you can train the most of your body with free weight compound exercises. I don't know the English terms of them all. I mean Rowing, bench press, deadlift, squats, lat pulls. You get me. Whenever you can use free weights instead of those bitchy machines. Free weights will get you far very fast. But remember: start slowly, light weight and do your exercises properly! You don't want to ruin your joints within a few years. If you follow all this advice and stick to it without excuses you will be a Hercules in 3 years.

Unhealthily fit bizraeli reporting in.

Diet: intermittent fasting. It's very simple. Eat all your calories in an 8-hour window, which is easier than it sounds. First meal is lunch at noon, don't eat later than 8pm. It keeps your metabolism flexible, your insulin sensitivity high, favors lean mass, and most importantly gives you a resilience against the feeling of hunger.

Exercise: Just do compound exercises til you get you get to the point you want. That means squats, bench, overhead press, pullups, rows, and dips. Aim for 3 sets of 8-10 reps for all those.

[Anonymous No.13785079]

>>13785053

Also as other anons have pointed out, avoid sugar like the plague, limit your red meat and saturated fat intake, get lots of protein from lean or fishy-fatty sources, eat a ton of vegetables because they keep you full, are low-calorie, and highly nutritious. Eat fruit for dessert. Frozen mango chunks are like fucking velvety ice cream.

I'm a newbie but here's what I'm doing:

I read these for the basics on losing fat/building muscle from a planning and dieting side:
1. Lyle McDonald's rapid fat loss Handbook
2. Lyle mcdonald's stubborn fat solution
3. Lyle mcdonald's ultimate diet 2.0
4. The muscle and strength nutrition pyramid
5. The muscle and strength training pyramid


I read starting strength for figuring out how to do lifts safely but I still keep injuring myself so once I finish dieting down to ~10% bodyfat I'm going to find a trainer who has competed or at least trained competitive bodybuilders... or maybe a powerlifting coach? Either way, I'll see if I can hire them to just show me how to do the lifts I want with proper form so I can stop hurting myself repeatedly and finally make real progress.

Fwiw, I have gone from 166lbs (after a couple days of dropping water weight) to 159lbs in three weeks of Lyle mcdonald's rapid fat loss Handbook, while lifting weights as he recommends. I'm 5'8''.

I figure that since it gets harder to build muscle when you have more muscle, I should burn fat before building muscle while I am still weak, so that any muscle k lose.will be easier to regain.

Maybe if Chainlink moons to $100, otherwise I couldn't even afford a root canal. That is the dream though. Yeah I could lose the weight easily if I tried. I changed the way I think about food so dieting isn't that hard for me. But I figured that if I can't take my shirt off at the beach anyway, I might as well just eat what I want. If I get rich off LINK then I would put the effort into getting truly /fit/ so I could get the surgery

Thanks mister brapper, wish you the same! Out of experience I can say mastering the basics will bring you further than autistically microsearching detail after detail. The goal is always to do your reps clean and slowly add plates. If you reach a plateau on reps, add another day of rest. This should help you get through. If it doesn't, drop some plates, go to higher range rep and restart to add plates. So on and so forth. Am going that far to say you can train your whole body with 10 different exercises only. Don't overcomplicate. Simplicity and endurance is the key.

I've heard fasting can cause diabetes. Keto is great because it literally burns fat and you can eat all the cheese and meat your heart desires.

How exactly do you injure yourself? That sounds bad. 3 tipps:
1. Lower the fucking weights! Can also be an empty bar. Master your exercises slowly. Then very slowly add weight.
2. Look for some help in the gym. Regular gym goers are usually friendly and help each other.
3. Look for the exercises on youtube. There are definitely high quality channels where you can learn something.

If you have enough time to invest in these books then I see no reason not to. I don't know most of them and I'm agnostic to most fitness books. I try to stick to the basics. My ATH was 297lbs and now Im around 187 hitting an ATL @ 176 a few weeks back. I have kept the low weight for a while now and I'm 6'4''.
I'm a bit tired so my post may make no sense so I will try to sum up. Stick to the basics. Do not overfill yourself with useless information. Being consistent is far more important that most things. If you want an extremely low bf% you have to make your body to go to extremes as well. It's not an easy ride, but the feels alone make it worthy

I do the lifts and then after a few days I notice my elbow hurts or my shoulder hurts or my scapula hurts.

>>13785388
Are you a gym newbie? Ellbow and shoulder hurt can or will be from classical over training. Start your gym life light and slowly. The body and joints have to adapt! More rest days in between gym days and less sets from exercises. Ellbow pain comes classical when you are overdoing arm isolation exercises and others. Stop arm isolation exercises. Only do pench press and lat pulls until your ellbows are fine again. Your shoulder pain could be the result of too wide hold of the bar when bench pressing. The wide angle in your shoulder brings unnatural pressure to your shoulder joint and may tear your shoulders. When bench pressing, take a hold so your hands are at the with of your shoulders. Now the angle between your arms and body will be lower and there will be less stress on your shoulder joints. I have to say this again: joints, especially shoulders and wrists, are sensitive. You can easily fuck those up if you take too much weight in the beginning or do the exercises wrong (too wide grip etc).

[Anonymous No.13785668]

>>13785615
Let me say it more correctly. For the idesl bench press hand width: hold your arms like they were chicken wings lol. This is the width you wanna have. The ellbows can just go beside your body when you lower the bar thumbs are next to the outer side of your shoulder when you are at the bottom of the movement.

If you have joint pains my advice would be to see a doctor unless an anon comes up with an elaborate post, if you are experiencing muscular pain for more than 2-3 days you could skip your routine for a while and do exercises around the muscles that hurt. Elbow and shoulder pain are indicators of bad form during bench press. Scapula pain is good pain

Totally agree with this guy.

I own a small business and bring in about $80k a year.

5am workouts are the only way. Such a great feeling when you're done. I do swimming 1x per week, running 2x per week, and weights and stretching 2x per week. Hot Yoga is phenomenal if you have time. Processed sugar and carbs are 100% cancer, avoid them and you're future self will thank you. Clean protein, fruit, veg, and occasional whole grains.
