No?
If you're just starting out, you should be lifting weight that you are comfortable with.
What beginner regimens do you recommend?
I recommend a push/pull/legs split.
Sometimes called a brosplit?
A mix of strength training and bodybuilding.
Depends on your goals.
Should I switch off between calisthenics and lifting? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Is one "better"?
I do sprints/jogs/stairs, an Ab vidya and a cardio lighter weight kettlebell routine on non-lifting days.
Incorporate calisthenics into each lifting session instead
Or do both each day
One in the morning and one at night
The split session strategy like that is becoming very popular and has been utilized by very successful lifters for a long time
Hit the elusive triple bodyweight deadlift last night at 615lbs
@Nick-NJ Impressive!
Thatโs insane
@Trashboat No ego lifting, bruh.
Like @Rogue said, lift what you can do safely.
there's a line between ego lifting and really pushing yourself I find
Spines are irreplaceable
Went to my dad's house yesterday and got my weights
@Trashboat for beginners, start blasting Tren.
I competed last Saturday and won my division but lost out by 15lbs to the Lebanon national champ. Hit a 501 squat 275 bench and 506 deadlift at 154lbs
I did a weight cut for the meet but instead of the 3 lbs I planned on losing I ended up cutting 13. Iโve gained 9-10lbs of that back
@peytonT Wait, you weigh 154lbs?
I weighed in at 154lbs. I normally weigh 166 but I cut weight
All water and glycogen did it in 2 weeks was pretty simple cut
Those are crazy #s at that weight heck yeah bro
I jacked up my wrist yesterday in the gym and it's painful today. Most likely a sprain, maybe a fracture. I've got a splint on it and I've been trying to ice it whenever I can.
Even simple shit like driving or drying my hands w/ a towel hurts like hell, so I'm skeptical. I've never had a sprained wrist.
More of a sharp pain, not dull/throbbing.
what caused it?
I was doing overhead press and had just finished my last rep. I went to put the weight down and I guess my grip was fucked or I didn't have the weight over my body, because my left wrist totally gave out. Instead of letting the weight drop, I tried to stop it and yanked the fuck out of my wrist once again.
a series of unfortunate events ๐คค

Kids...
Love and cherish your wrists
Cause this injury is getting old
