Was just perusing this feed and noticed that a bunch of people in here don’t know much about heavy weight lifting—which is, of course, okay. But I’ll throw a few tips to help you get big fast. First off, don’t go to the gym and just do whatever workouts you’re feeling. Hit one or two muscle groups with 3 or 4 different workouts—2 if you’re short on time
... For each of those workouts, you should do 3 or 4 sets. If you’re a beginner, don’t over exert yourself—this will sacrifice your technique and end up injuring you or making your body disproportionate. Always isolate the muscles you’re working (watch videos on this, it’s a lot to explain—but for instance, don’t arch your back when doing shoulder press; hold your elbows in place by your sides when you’re doing curls)
Screenshot of my week
Figure out the max weight you can do 10 reps of without sacrificing your form. Try to do 4 sets of 6-10. When you’ve perfected your form and gained some strength, start doing what they call the reverse pyramid method: more weight and fewer reps for the first set, adding reps and removing weight with each set (for instance bench press: set 1-185lbs—4 reps; set 2-165lbs—6 reps; set 3-145lbs—8 reps)
When I started doing that I was going up in weight literally every time I went to the gym for about 2 straight months
And it’s good to eat protein, but it’s most crucial to eat protein as soon as you get home from working out. Your muscles get the most benefit from protein within 30 minutes after you finish your workout
I could add more but my fingers are tired. These are just some basic concepts to use as a bedrock for your daily routine
Suggestion: Maybe adding a "Injury" channel. Obviously won't ever replace an actual professional opinion, but it wouldn't hurt to at least get some advice before you go to that point.

Anyone else have a notification that won't go away on example sparring?
yeah.
There's nothing in the channel for me
@ThisIsChris is working with that channel to get it set up as a group channel prototype
Good deal. I was just wondering what was going on there

👌🏻🤘🏻
Oh my god this thread
Does anyone know how to get the notification to go away from the example-sparring-room? Mine has been there for a while now
@ThisIsChris ☝🏻
Can you help out with this brother?
Tap and hold on the channel title, then mark as read
Finally cleared to start lifting again after my back injury. 20 minutes in got me like.
@whiskeytangofoxtrot how is it now?
It kicked me from it, but that’s fine. Everything is looking good. Thanks.
@whiskeytangofoxtrot nope you weren't kicked I just deleted the channel (it had just been for testing purposes)
Ah, ok @ThisIsChris
Can anyone recommend me a good backpack for hiking with heavy loads? And maybe a pair of boots to go along? Thanks.
Osprey is what I use for backpack. Salewa hiking boots.
I use Salomon boots, GTX2 mid- really like them. Haglöfs backpack
Osprey is pretty good. I have an Osprey 75 litre pack, Merrell Phaserbound boots, Carhartt cargo pants and Carhartt merino wool socks. If you use good boots, dont go cheap on the socks. Merino wool socks are the best, as wool retains most of your body heat even when wet.
Any tips for someone looking to get back in shape after suffering a foot injury? Under doctors orders I'm supposed to refrain from running, lower body workouts.
Since the injury I've gained 30lbs. I'm horribly out of shape after nearly 4 months of zero physical activity
How to work out without using your lower body? Damn, thats a tough one.
