Started lifting — is the StrongLifts app any good?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 4th, 2024 12:16 PM Author: electric national security agency 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 4:16 PM Author: crimson fear-inspiring lodge sweet tailpipe I probably put in 30 minutes of pure poasting when I'm at the gym so it's not for me.

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: Nudist talented love of her life halford 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: Nudist talented love of her life halford 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! |
