Exercise megathread

[Zargrim]

I will not stop until everyone here is gymaxxed and doing a routine that they actually enjoy and would keep up until they die. Don't listen to normies, you can obtain a decent level of fitness for basically no effort.

Gotta confuse the muscles to make them grow

jfl @ people not gymmaxxing, it benefits just about every area of your life

just be weak theory
just have poor immune system theory
just be overweight theory
just have more chance of getting degenerate diseases theory
just have back pain theory

just be tired from going up 2 flights of stairs theory
just get injured from picking up your cat because you don't deadlift theory
just have a pre-teen looking body theory

Im to lazy mate

I do 2 reps a day total.

ok, so what do we have to do?

There is some guy here that is a literal personal trainer, I'm not a personal trainer but I can probably point you to information that will help you make the correct decisions based on your circumstances.
Before you start, consider the following:
-how much money you have to spend on fitness
-how much time and energy you are willing to dedicate

Like I said, you can obtain a reasonable level of fitness with basically no effort.

For beginners:
2x/week gym (gym membership probably essential), at least 2 days of rest
Same workout always but add weight every workout

3x5 squat
2x5 SLDL
2x5 overhead press
2x10 chest supported row on machine
2x5 bench press
2x10 lat pulldown on machine
hollow body holds for time (add seconds instead of weight)

if questions lmk

What do you think of something like this?

Pushups
Pullups
Squats
Walking and reverse lunges
Leg raises
Horizontal/45 degree pulls using a bar for the back

Don't have gym money and I despise the gym anyway. I've got 2 15lbs and 2 5lbs DBs though.

Unless you can do pistol squats it's going to be hard to develop strength in your lower body (glutes/hamstrings/quadriceps) without weight. Everything else looks fine, I'd also mix up the elevation of your feet during push-ups though but not to the extent where it's becoming harder to track progress, because you do need to make the workout harder over time (conventionally done by adding weight but in your case by resting less, more reps, more sets etc.)

Thank you. Could just wearing a backpack full of some stuff while doing squats/pushups/pullups work? And yeah, I can't do pistol squats, sadly.

It really depends on what you feel like doing and are going to stick with. It is almost always better to do a simpler easy routine that you stick with, then going HAM for a few months and quitting. If you are low energy I might do something as simple as just once a day doing as many pushups as you can, and as many body weight squats as you can.

IMO the ideal setup for a NEET is a home gym, but that costs money and requires space.

Yeah I try to go for simple. 2 PPL splits alternating a week and stuff isn't really my thing. Thanks.

For upper body I would maybe suggest you get one of those door pullup bars. Pushups are kind of a meme unless you do ridiculous amounts. This guy on reddit did nothing but pullups and got good results: Like NEETmax2TheBrimBoyo said though, it is hard to properly work your legs without free weights.

The routine I do I detailed in this thread: https://neets.me/threads/i-have-perfected-the-ultimate-no-effort-neet-workout.365/. All I do every day is one rep for upper body and one rep for lower body.

If you are at all serious about working out and don't like going to do the gym, I would suggest you see if it is at all possible to get a power rack. They don't actually take up much space, so the real challenge is finding enough money to get one. A power rack is more than enough to get jacked if you are motivated enough and stick to a program.

I have a pullup bar, actually. Pushups might be useless after a while but I'll ride them as far as they'll take me since I have no other choice.
Yeah, the power rack thing might be good, hope I get the money to get one someday. Thank you

If routines aren't your thing I would suggest leaving the pullup bar in your room, and then whenever you feel like it doing some pullups. If you can't do a pullup yet try this:

 

[الطائر ابن لا أحد]

ok, so what do we have to do?

Stronglifts 5x5 is the a good program, see you in 6 months bro.

 

[NEETmax2TheBrimBoyo]

Yeah that would work.

I have been a NEET for 13 years and if there is one thing I would have done differently, it would have been to find a program that works for me and stick with it.

I was wondering how this specifically is possible

For beginners:
2x/week gym (gym membership probably essential), at least 2 days of rest
Same workout always but add weight every workout

3x5 squat
2x5 SLDL
2x5 overhead press
2x10 chest supported row on machine

2x10 lat pulldown on machine

gyms are closed here

1x1rm compound lower body
1x1rm compound upper body
nothing else
every day

What if you don't know what your 1 rep max is?

 

[Zargrim]

What if you don't know what your 1 rep max is?

-put some weight on the bar
-if you can lift it add some pounds to it the next workout
don't try your 1rm on the bench press without a spotter or safety bars

no one will ever spot me

 

[Zargrim]

no one will ever spot me

spotters are shit anyway imo, bench in a power rack so it is literally impossible to drop the bar on yourself

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I used to go to the Gym a few Years ago. It's a Soul and Body destroying place. You look out the Window and you see Luxury Cars. All around you see Couples working out together. Then there's the actual using the machines process... POT LUCK you don't injure your self with those bare minimum safety instructions.

Amazingly, using the Gym Machines and having an extra: Protein Shake, two drinks of Milk and four Sandwiches a Day, is all my Body needed. I have the Muscles now... along with PTSD of Social awkwardness and near injury misses

The Protein Shake was dried Yogurt.
The Sandwiches were White Bread, Butter and Peanut Butter.

 

[01zephyr10]

I stopped going to the Gym after one fateful night. It was a 24-7 Gym, the only staff there were Cleaners. Someone was Smoking Drugs in the Shower, the Haze Hot Boxed the entire building. It was so pungent, that I got Second hand High (Having never done drugs myself, I didn't know what the smell was). I Broke my Left Arm then WALKED home.

strength is usually reasonably easy to regain, especially if it has only been 1.5 months

Why did you take a month and a half off?

I recommend researching Pavel Tsatsouline, he has perfect philosophy when it comes to training strength and fitness, very minimalistic but effective programmes.

exercise is an extremely inefficient way to lose weight, calorie restriction is king

Unfortunately gyms are closed in my area for a bit so I'll have to stick to calisthenics for the time being to preserve my gains. I got a pullup bar/dipping bar and a punching bag and a speed bag as well.

do a minimalist routine, you can get 70-80% of the effect of a serious routine for 10x less effort
