I've never really spent time working out and serious about it. I'm clueless where to start, what muscle groups to hit and how often for each excercise, How do you figure out what # to utilize , etc. Will be having surgery soon on L5-S1. Nothing major. So need to keep that in mind for now. I'd like to hear what you would recommend, I'm tired of looking like a more handsome , chinless version of n2otoofast4u. Time to take action. Also, any products you've had good results from, whey, creatine, etc. THANKS, Management. Honestly you could start with just doing a lot of bodyweight exercises at home to acclimate your body to working out. I still do a lot of bodyweight training and you can get a good workout from it. I would steer away from powerlifting because you will jack your body up and dont let anybody talk you into that bull crap style of training. With that said there is place for "heavy" weight training but maxing out on a lift unless you compete in powerlifting is stupid. but with your back issues I wouldnt even be thinking about that right now. if i were you I would consistently be doing stretches that help you back and strengthen your back muscles first and foremost. there is a lot of bs on youtube but ATHLEANX is a solid channel with good stuff. Look into that. supplements are a waste of money for the most part. whey protein is good to get more protein in through the day but real food protein should be priority.

SKEETER Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have no desire of ruining my body as ddq is in process of. Doing physical therapy has helped tremendously in loosening muscles up , I've been stretching daily. Ill check out athleanx tonight. Thx captain.

Usually 4 or 5 eggs for bfast/lunch. 2 cups coffee. Then water rest of day. Dinner is kind of random, sometimes just a PBJ , or 4 - 2oz smoked fish fillets. I know dieting is a big factor, I've lost close to 60# since Sept, from changing that. But I know there is lots of room for improvement. I'm thinking pushups, pull ups, squats is gonna be best to get body prepped before I start doing anything with weight. What I'm curious about is establishing a starting point, for how many reps, and how often, etc. I dont want to be doing this shit just to find out I'm wasting time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
