Started lifting — is the StrongLifts app any good?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 4th, 2024 12:16 PM Author: Impressive Goal In Life Sex Offender 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. |

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: Hairraiser Meetinghouse People Who Are Hurt I think most people ignore the enhancement side of things and just look at others' routines, from which they draw the conclusions they want.

Date: May 5th, 2024 4:16 PM Author: Chartreuse den azn I probably put in 30 minutes of pure poasting when I'm at the gym so it's not for me.

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: Hairraiser Meetinghouse People Who Are Hurt 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. |
