when I started out i followed other peoples plans and I'd recommend doing that if you're a newb. Once you learn more about the lifts/yourself and what is good and what is good for your goals you can start to make your own custom routines

i see so many people doing lat pulldowns on the pulldown machine wrong


there are like a billion variants i've seen since i started at this new gym. People kind of rowing them somehow, people doing it wayyyy behind their neck while leaning forward and poo poo. Like, there are clear instructions with pictures even on the thing but you still see really unfit people sit down on it and just start flailing they limbs around

Do people really build any muscle on 5/3/1 rotations

All I ever get out of low rep stuff is strength. I never got any decent muscles until i started doing reps in the range of 10-12ish

First lifting day after 12 days without it over Christmas. I've put on a kg and it definitely isn't muscle. Wondering whether to stick to the +20/-20 calories I've been on for lifting and resting days or do a small cut or +0/-20 for a few weeks. Any advice? Wish me luck swoledudes!

Theoretically wouldn't you want to start cutting now if you want abs by summer? You should have bulked in the Fall.

At least he's doing something, plus many weight machines are low/no impact on joints. He could have easily been at home avoiding your judgments. Instead he went to the gym. Good for him and gently caress you. Belittling others who are trying to better themselves only makes you look like a jerk.

That guy is 100% going to give up in a week or two because his utterly retarded halfassed "effort" didn't do anything for him

Yeah, that 400 pound man was really brave and we should all praise him and not criticise. Critique feels bad :(
