Yeah so you have no excuse not to be in the gym

2018-10-19 23:30:35 UTC  

Laziness

2018-10-19 23:30:51 UTC  

It's not supposed to be a high bar it's a bar of minimal entry really

2018-10-19 23:31:18 UTC  

If you can't do that you won't progress on bench

2018-10-19 23:32:45 UTC  

It doesn't take much to start off with just the bar doing 5x5, even if you spend a week or two just practising form with the bar

>never hit the gym and 35 push-ups without rest is easy

2018-10-19 23:33:12 UTC  

Literally just did it to check

2018-10-19 23:33:20 UTC  

I'm not some fat fuck

2018-10-19 23:33:33 UTC  

"Never hit the gym"

2018-10-19 23:33:54 UTC  

I play a shit ton of basketball so im okay on stamina

2018-10-19 23:34:50 UTC  

The bar for upper body strength grade 1 fitness in the Irish army is 55 in a minute, 35 is a grade 2 anything below is a fail, that's why I pick that stat btw, it's a fairly solid marker of being a lazy sod that you can't do it, but you don't have to be jacked to get it done

2018-10-19 23:37:15 UTC  

For the record I recommend doing both calisthenics and weight training, but too many use having an "athletic build" as an excuse not to hit the gym

2018-10-19 23:40:31 UTC  

Alright

2018-10-19 23:41:24 UTC  

Is it feasible to only lift once or twice a week and still make gainz?

2018-10-19 23:41:58 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-19 23:42:07 UTC  

At the start

2018-10-19 23:42:20 UTC  

Lifting everyday is preferable

2018-10-19 23:42:49 UTC  

U should be doing every muscle group at LEAST once a week

2018-10-19 23:42:50 UTC  

All the lifting guides online are every day but i really can not manage that shit

2018-10-19 23:43:47 UTC  

Cause i have school and extracurricular stuff almost every day

2018-10-19 23:44:41 UTC  

What's the beginners guide then

2018-10-19 23:45:02 UTC  

Lift everyday like a fucking psychopath

2018-10-19 23:46:00 UTC  

When u say a beginners guide do u mean like schedule or workouts specifically

2018-10-19 23:46:16 UTC  

Yeah p. much

2018-10-19 23:46:31 UTC  

Like workouts

2018-10-19 23:46:48 UTC  

Just stick to compound movements

2018-10-19 23:47:08 UTC  

Bench, squat, deadlift etc

2018-10-19 23:48:13 UTC  

Must not forget rows!

2018-10-19 23:48:50 UTC  

Also if u get a pull-up bar at home it makes stuff a lot easier

2018-10-19 23:49:04 UTC  

As far as back and abs are concerned

2018-10-20 00:26:58 UTC
