>>963189What would you like to gain right now from lifting?
If you want strength and size then lift weights
If you like cardio then just do some cardio
Weight lifting is pretty easy, you push things on one day, pull things on the next, then hit your legs after that, then take a day off.
Of course it’s gonna get more complicated from here on out, but that’s the gist of a training regimen

>>963505Surely you don't have to have a demarcation between cardio and weight lifting? I enjoy finishing off with cardio after a workout or while waiting for a machine to be free
№963569[Quote]
>>963557If you enjoy this then that’s fucking awesome dude keep at it
I personally spend my rest days doing cardio
It’s just I don’t wanna overwhelm a newbie, it’s helpful to pick a practise and get good at that first before you start adding stuff in. I think building discipline right at the start is way more important than what exercises you do

is there a way to make bulgarian death squats bearable? i lowkeynuinely feel like passing out at 8th rep and i gotta do 12. i do them after leg press, so they are only the second exercise
№963838[Quote]
>>963776Bulgarian death squats? Do you mean split squats?
I use a smith machine and a I use a thick deadlift plate underneath my squating foot for more range of motion.
They fucking suck. That's why I do them though.
<Leg press is, performative…. You can argue against that but almost any other squatting exercise is superior. I always found that overtraining my legs not only hindered my muscle growth, but reduced my ability to ENJOY leg day.
I only do one quad exercise per leg day, one hamsting exercise, one calf exercise, ab and adductors.
I got my barbell squat up to 182.5kg - 405lbs AFTER reducing the amount of work done to my quads.
So maybe just do split squats and ditch the leg press. I can leg press almost 400kg+ but what does that even mean if it's not as beneficial as other quad exercises?
<If you're sure you're not fatigued, then I can advise you to start doing some cardio here and there. I can go to failure on my squatting lifts much more efficiently now that my VO2 max is higher and my cardio is better :)

So also, just doing them more will make improve your endurance overtime (given that you're not overtraining)

>>963838i actually suffer from a lower/upper imbalance (legs are way stronger than upper body) so i only do one day of legs per week. thats why i cram maximum volume in that one day so i can at least get a little bit of gains and keep momentum during the bulk period.
<jew spacei know they are called split squats but i call them death squats cuz its so fitting
>>963839my only romance was a shitty, extremely long ordeal with a woman i should have left behind when i was 16. i sometimes read high school romcoms and imagine myself in a world where i never made this mistake

>>964121Hm interesting
I think everyone is like this with upper/lower body strength, I mean your legs are essentially just massive muscles made to be extremely resilient to fatigue.
Maybe, try and alternate your quad exercises, so one week do split squat -> leg press and next week do barbell squat and leg extensions, so your muscles can heal better.
Lifting is only 20% of the work, the other 80% is all recovery

Your core is notoriously hard to grow so don’t overthink it. Any work you put in will pay off in. A few months time

Public service announcement:
Most vitamin C supplements are manufactured from Chinese synthesised vitamin C, quality control there is undoubtably questionable, and you could be doing more damage than good (high heavy metal content being the main concern).
Make sure your vitamin C has been third party tested by the company you’re buying it off

>>964218i know its cliche but i compared my lifts with my friends and i did those tests that measure your fat and muscle mass and it confirmed the pretty severe lack of strength in upper body compared to lower… unfortunately legs dont really help with my goal of being lean but i still maintain them, the extra muscle serves well when doing cuts and helps with lowering the overall body fat %
