You may certainly say your just bulking up, or just lifting, adding mass, and so many other simplistic terms. Simply bc it's an inaccurate depiction of how bulking and cutting is used and you'll cause confusion when asking for help from experiences gym goers as a gain and cut are mastered in peculiar ways that call for very specific ways of lifting, eating, and supplements. It's very very good.Īlso ditch the technical term 'bulk for 2 yrs'.
Use the app: add your own extras, and use the warm ups if you have time. chest flys and posterior deltoid on the pec dec machine, or extra bicep curls, or abs, etc). In my experience you may add up to three isolation exercises on each split day if you want (I.e. My recommendation is to do the 5x5 routine. Especially with your desire for an amazing foundation, starting from a growth spurt, and not trying to lose weight. That's all there is to it :) Hope this helped, and best of luck!Ĭompounds are the way to go. The vast majority of people are kind and will go out of their way to help you out (if you need a spotter, or want someone to see if you're squatting correctly). No one cares, and if you need help, just ask. Most importantly: don't stress about the time you spend, how you look to other people, etc. When you get to really heavy weights, you can think about investing in some gloves or chalk to prevent blisters and to get a firmer grip on the bar. The advantage of lifting is that you don't really need specialized equipment: shoes ( I use the running kind, and they work fine), gym shorts (tbh any cheap pair will do), and an old, comfy tshirt. I'd go to Target/Walmart and check out their selections.
Once you get to heavier weights though, you'll definitely be making full use of rest time between sets, which means you're looking at 1 - 1.25 hours at the gym. Don't worry about the time, I did SL 5X5 too, and for the first week or two, I was finishing my routine in 30-45 mins.If you're using the SL app (highly recommend it, you basically go into the gym and follow the instructions) it will tell you exactly what to warm up with and how many reps. If you're doing SL 5X5, you will start warm up sets by your second week iirc.Stvarno ne mogu da ga nahvalim dovoljno koliko sam ja koristi od njega izvukao. Jednom kada se malo opustiš, stećićeš dovoljno samopouzdanja (i samopoštovanja kad malo smršaš) da pređeš na drugi korak i kreneš da upoznaješ ljude van teretane. Idi rano ujutro, kada nema gužve, tako će ti biti lakše da počneš. Ako ne želiš da pričaš možeš da staviš slušalice dok se ne navikneš na ljude oko sebe, a onda će neko sa tobom spontano započeti razgovor. Generalno su u teretanam ljudi gotivni i drago im je kada vide nekoga ko je spreman raditi na sebi. U početku će ti pomalo biti neprijatno, ali to je upravo ono što ti treba da te izbavi iz pakla u kojem si trenutno. Veruj mi kada ti kažem, posle jedno mesec dana povratićeš veru u sebe, malo ćeš regulisati izgled i kilažu, izaćićeš iz kuće i porazgovarati sa ljudima tamo. Želim ti sve najbolje, a mislim da je dobar prvi korak - teretana. Svi imamo naše i nekako je ohrabrujuće kada vidiš nekoga da se suočava sa svojima. If you want to lift to get big you can do the same exercises but instead of 5x5 do like 3x12 instead.īrate, drago mu je da si odlučio raditi na svojim problemima. The app is however shaped towards classical stronglifting and focused on strength, not size, just so you know. This takes the guess work out of your training so you can focus on lifting!" It shows you which exercise to do each workout, with how much weight, how long to rest between sets and a lot more. The app guides you through every StrongLifts 5x5 workout. The description of the app on Google Play says exactly what it does "The StrongLifts 5x5 workout app is like having a personal strength and muscle building coach in your pocket. The app also features highly detailed instructional videos on exactly how each exercise is performed, why, and what you might expect to get in terms of results.
For a small upgrade (around 5-8 dollars? I don't remember) you can customize your workouts and get a few more features, but the base app has the two workouts you cycle through, which are I don't know if it exists for iPhone, but it has literally everything you need to start down the path of Iron.
If you are on Android, download this app. I'm at work so I will spare the Brodinspeak till another time.
