If you're at the point you're eating canned chicken just start eating fake meat and save chickens and/or the planet

You can buy a big bag of vital wheat gluten and make your own fake meat. It's pretty easy and you can make it taste good.

Is there a consensus pick for best beginner program? I'm gonna help a co-worker begin his journey to swoleness soon.

I'm going to try it out once I have my equipment set up and do some practicing to get the lift forms right. The greyskull program is available for free online various places but it doesn't describe lift form very well people say, there's other resources.

I couldn’t remember the name starting strength but it’s good as well. I started out with strong lifts and 5x5 volume should be fine for a newbie if they start low and focus on form. I’m sure both programs are sufficient and by the time you start plateauing you’re likely to go hop into some more advanced programming anyway.

I can probably fix his form well enough and there's probably a zero percent chance he's gonna read a whole book to get started. Just been forever since I've touched linear progression so I don't know what the new hotness is.

I’ve been doing StrongLifts 5x5 since December and it’s been fine for me. You just have to buy fractional plates for BP/OHP because 5lb jumps are too much. I’ve only failed one set of squats so far @200lbs

VorpalFish posted:Is there a consensus pick for best beginner program? I'm gonna help a co-worker begin his journey to swoleness soon. Maybe I'm especially dumb, or just didn't have PE, but the hardest part of starting going to the gym was I didn't even know what to bring. Do I bring a towel? Do I wear what? Then the hard part was "I don't know what anything is or how it works." How do I load plates? How do I know what weight to lift? etc I didn't worry too much about other people because I started going to the gym really late at night. It seems dumb in retrospect, but once I stumbled through that I was hooked and branched out from there. I started with starting strength. It's fine as long as you don't buy into the dogma. Stronglifts 5x5 is similar but you're doing 5x5 instead of 3x5 so I'd go with 3x5 personally, but this comes down to shape and size. The smaller you are the more likely you are to be tolerant of volume. If you're an out of shape IT worker or a bigger person, in stature or fat, I'd go with the lower volume. Another option that people usually don't take is taking the nuckols 28 programs spreadsheet and slapping the beginner lifts into a program for your friend. That fits the number of days the coworker wants to go to the gym because nuckols' template fits 2 days-4+ days just fine. It's also straight forward in terms of lifts and easy to edit.

I’ve only failed one set of squats so far @200lbs I bought 1.25lb plates for the OHP and promptly left them at the gym, never to be seen again  .E: I started with Squat, OHP/Bench (alternating days), and Deadlift three times a week. I did 3x5 for those, starting with an empty bar and just added five or ten pounds until I couldn't complete a set at the new weight, then I'd sit there for a day or two and add more weight once I was able to do the full 3x5 for two days.

Nah I know all that. I'm just gonna try to make it as easy as possible (show up 3x a week and do this) to get him started and what happens happens. I think the only way people stick with it is falling in love with the progress. Either you look in the mirror one day and go holy poo poo is that me, or you hit your first 2 plate lift and go holy poo poo more of that. If there's something about it that you get excited about, you start wanting to go. I'm just gonna try to give him the best opportunity to experience that and leave it there.

I switched up my leg routine last night and for the first time in a long, long time (I was clearly just running through the motions lmao) I was sweating way more and at the end of the night I just felt jazzed, it was wild. Did 5x10 155lb hip/glute thrusts and walking away I definitely felt a pump in my glutes if you know what I mean

In the 80's and 90's the Greeks were obsessed with perfect technique to the point you weren't allowed to snatch or clean anything heavier than a PVC pipe for months funnily enough a lot of people quit the Greek Olympic weightlifting team early because it was boring as gently caress

Snatch with a PVC pipes a great stretch at least I guess. I can't even clean an empty bar without feeling weird and off balance. The empty bar just doesn't settle in the front rack. Still warm up various pieces of the lift fine with an empty bar just not the whole thing.

It sucked missing two different weeks of workouts because of a then undiagnosed shoulder issue (turns out I strained my rhomboids). Even lifting 3 times a week makes me feel better about doing nothing on my off days.

Few months till summer and i'm looking to cut down some weight and get some good looks going on. I'm pretty big but also decently strong (husky style). Looking to put on some vanity muscles, not lose too much of my base strength, and drop about 10-12kg. Anyone got any recommendations for a program that covers something like this? I'm pretty comfortable managing my calories food side of thing. Just never really looked into this type of training... normally just been, 'lift more weight... good'.

Clean up your diet and train like you have been. If that doesn't work, come back and tell us more specifics.

You have basically March, April, May and I suppose June? 10-12 weeks or so till summer. 1kg of weight loss a week is your target, that's a pretty good goal. I think you should probably look at your diet and find some things you're eating that you can cut out. You have to eat 1000 or so calories a day less, so that's a pretty decent amount of food each day. Not really sure what you eat or drink so it might be easy to find or hard. It is probably easier to start with what you're eating now and alter it rather than completely changing everything. You might be able to cut out a treat or snack, or switch fries for a different side or something, or not drink for 12 weeks. Its doable but you dont have any time to skip a week or anything. Then by vanity muscles I think you probably mean that you want your arms to look big? In which case you will make sure do lots of curls and tricep push downs depending on what equipment you have, you can search for exercise routine for big arms. You're losing weight but your arms should become more toned.

Pretty much any visual improvement you make in 3 months is going to be dropping extra flab. Keep on trucking with the lifting, but cut back on food intake and be as diligent as possible on the calorie counting side of things.

nooneofconsequence posted:Do you do hip thrusts with a barbell or Smith machine? standard squat/bench bar. It is a pain in the butt to set up, but I learned way too late that you can empty one side of the bar and then tip the other over to make unloading a little faster. I've been able to thrust 385lbs but tbh I'm probably getting better results from doing multiple clean sets at 155lbs.
