Things I wish I knew long ago about getting fit bro
1. BDSM (bench, deads, squats, military press). Don't use the machines, be like Arnold and BECOME the machine! Machines are just wasted squat rack space. 2. Lift heavy. The nerds already figured out that mo weight = mo muscle. Don't fix what's not broken. Anything more than 6 reps is cardio, anything more than 12 needs mo weight. 3. Walk it off. Did your workout hurt? Good. Now hope on the treadmill and walk until it stops hurting. It's the only machine I recognize... Begrudgingly. 4. Eat your brotien! 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight. If you want to get ripped you need your get ripped fuel. 5. Fine, also eat your fruits, veggies, and carbs... đ. 6. Throw your scale out the window. It's a machine! DON'T TRUST THE MACHINES! Let the mirror and the plates on your bar tell you how healthy you are. There's a reason why gyms have more mirrors than scales bro. Fight the machines! (I'm still on to you treadmill). Edit: 7: DRINK WATER! How much water? Well if your asking then your mouth isn't guzzling water. NOW GO DRINK MORE WATER! In all seriousness though, I'm just having some fun sharing what has helped me out significantly and trying to make it a bit more enjoyable to read. For the record I don't actually hate the machines *twitch*. Wishing you all the best in your fitness journeys.
BSD stats or gtfo
Agree that scale is not useful. It is one dimensional way of measure
Idk why people made such a complicated Frisbee. It doesn't even fly that far.
Situationally useful for fitting into a weight class, measuring your rate of bulk/cut, and if you have relative strength goals like e.g. double bw pullup, planche fatbulking can make them harder
âPowerliftingâ is for truck drivers from Minnesota. Pipe down, son.
From a dude that got into powerlifting early and is now 30. Make sure you add in flexibility training, your older self will thank you.
So true. I'm already experiencing some of that early in. I'm always stretching as part of warmup now.
You should stretch after if weâre talking static stretches. Dynamic movements is good during warmups though.
I read this in the voice of the Powerthirst add - excellent.
One of the best videos ever made đșđž
Man's not wrong
Yep, I wish someone told me heavy, basic, compound lifts are the way to start.
Most gyms have fixed weight bars that go below 45lb. You will often see people curling them. Those make a great substitute. You can also use dumbbell variations for all 4 compound lifts until you become strong enough for the bar.
0. Start saving $$$ for knee&hip replacements plus spine surgery
You're an idiot lol. The worst kind of idiot too, a small and weak one
Yeah, this is quite ignorant comment. Issues with knees/hips happen when muscles are too weak for the load your body endures. This may happen for overweight people with weak muscles or this may happen with athletes who try to break their one rep record. The best way to deal with it is to gradually strengthen your muscles. This way youâll not have issues in your daily life. Also donât do âegoâ lifts so that you donât have issues in training.
I donât agree with âAnything more than 6 reps is cardioâ. Everything else is true. Oh yeah, fck the treadmill, run outside!
It's a joke among my strongman friends đ.
6 reps is definitely cardio. Have you ever squatted heavy weight before or nah?
