Started lifting — is the StrongLifts app any good?

Date: May 4th, 2024 12:16 PM Author: Adventurous Crackhouse I’m starting from zero and basically sedentary other than walking the dog and running through airports.
My wife swears by StrongLifts and has used it for several months now. She was always in pretty good shape (way better than me), but now is even slimmer with a tighter butt.
I used it today and it seemed ok. But I know nothing. |

|
Date: May 5th, 2024 4:11 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube To be fair, there are some (Kevin Levrone was one, I believe) who swear by that. If it works for an individual & their genetics (which would be 1:X0000000), then there's nothing wrong with it.
The issue is that people take these articles or interviews with pro BBers as gospel and insist there's some awesome secret because it worked for some genetic freak of nature on 25g/week of test. |

|
Date: May 5th, 2024 4:23 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube I think most people ignore the enhancement side of things and just look at others' routines, from which they draw the conclusions they want.
And there are a lot of people like Momo who went way beyond merely clogging their kidneys. We don't hear about the vast majority of these individuals. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2024 4:16 PM Author: comical impressive jew nursing home I probably put in 30 minutes of pure poasting when I'm at the gym so it's not for me. But in 30 minutes you could do enough deadlift and squats that you couldn't use the stairs on the way out. For OP I'd suggest not even worrying about time. Just work out until you know you're gonna be sore tomorrow. Keep it simple. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5525014&forum_id=2#47637701) |

Date: May 5th, 2024 4:28 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube Keep it simple + put in [real] effort is all that's needed for anyone that's not looking to step on stage.

Date: May 5th, 2024 4:03 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube I'm a fan of Westside's conjugated periodization, but it's not for non-enhanced or middle-age laypeople.
That said, its simplicity & upper/lower body breakdown is probably better for beginners than the weird hit-every-muscle-group-in-seven-days stuff. |

day 5: overhead press, lat raises
day 6: arms (optional)
day 7: rest
try to add weight as often as you can
eat a lot and eat healthy, sleep a lot
There are probably a million ways to do the above better, but Im also a dumb middle aged guy and the above seems to work for me.
Best advice: Spend a thousand or so and get a squat rack, bench, bar, plates, and some dumbbells. You'll spend the same for gym membership anyway, so just spend it upfront and save the 40 minute roundtrip commute. You can do all of this at ~30m a day |
|
Date: May 5th, 2024 12:01 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube If you need an "app" to start lifting weights in middle age, you've already failed.
There's nothing to "start." You walk into the rack and squat. You're done when you collapse.
No posting. No discussion. No debate. No pictures. Just fucking squat. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2024 3:57 PM Author: autistic bistre theatre headpube But samoth, that would require *gasp* effort! That's the one thing I simply cannot give.
Please provide apps, subscriptions, and extremely complex 7-day full-body workout routines [(c) Flex Magazine 1994] that I will absolutely fail to follow. Additionally, please provide a list of overpriced supplements with the best placebo effects on the market.
I'll pay whatever it takes so long as I don't have to put in effort! |
