have a really basic and simple routine to share for a pleb?
don’t want to overcomplicate things 💜
Discussion
Push day
Pull day
Leg day
2-3x per week
Doesn’t need to be super complicated
Never heard of the push and pull day concept before, gonna have to look up the exercises for that 💜
Thank you buddy 👌
Yes.
Exactly what I do.
Plus, walk >10k steps daily.
I usually get ~10,000 steps in a day walking the dog, so that shouldn’t be a problem 💜
The key to success with strength training is consistency + progressive overload.
Progressive overload meaning you are upping the weight or reps each subsequent lifting session even if just by a little.
I recently started using resistance bands thanks to my Fitness Advisor™️ nostr:npub175hdheqn0arfdgywe9n2rze5eaf0j2mlz0xp5kq30vy57jqsncdqy2tpe9 (mfer is JACKED btw)
I am enjoying them so far, very promising

Thank you so much for this 💜
Starting Strength has a lot of good resources on how to do the basic lifts, progression for novices, etc.

The Starting Strength book is really good if you like to get into the science-y stuff on why it works and why barbell is better than machines and cardio.
You definitely want to learn the proper forms from a friend or a personal trainer, though. Proper form will make all the difference when you start advancing to higher weights.
