La-hoo, Za-her.

Love this thread, just wish there was a "too broke/embarrassed to go to the gym" version.

I'm sure we can cook something up. What would you like to do?

Not much you can about being broke except get a better job., which is hard.

Embarrassment is something you just need to man up and get over.

I met a girl today who can bench 135 pounds. For a girl, that's a lot, probably more than 50% of boys in high school can lift.

A guide to working out without having to spend money or go to the Gym would be more useful. I can not exactly afford to buy lifting equipment, or a gym membership. I would recommend a new thread with this idea, or add a section to this one that is the "economy" work out. Other than that, nice post.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Don't forget to add that people should eat 6 times a day. Six times a day, think about it this way:

Breakfast
Snack
Lunch
Snack
Dinner
Snack

Eat small amounts, not large amounts. That makes sure your body stays in the fat burning zone.

This thread is designed for younger males (15+) who want to build muscle
I'm sorry to break it to you, but you will not make significant size gains doing only body-weight exercises.
You would significantly increase muscle endurance, however.

I don't know about fat burning, but that's my general meal plan for bulking. Except every meal is big.

You can get stronger with body weight exercises. You just need to decrease leverage, progressively move the resistance away from the axis of rotation (e.g. planche, front lever, back lever, unilateral exercises, pistol squats, long plank, l sit).

As far as getting bigger, same nutrition as traditional weightlifting.

Stronger? Sure.

Size gains? Ehhhh. You're not going to get massive legs without things like squats.

Abs are the only exception.

You are right about the pistol squats being limited.

I started physical therapy. Exercises are light and manageable.

Haha, I've been eating as much as I can, Lifts are going up, but man do I feel bloated.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

Yeah, I don't think I will do it. I have found a good routine that works pretty well now. My split is:
Chest/Triceps
Legs/Shoulders
Back/Biceps
Core

I am also doing 15 minutes of cardio/fat burning exercise at the end of my workout.

That is the original version of the routine. It was designed for the actors in the movie 300 to get "ripped" fast.

That probably would be a better split than doing Chest and back on the same day. What would your suggestions for exercises for those days then?
Posted by: oaklandp8ntbalr
It doesn't matter that the 300 actors supposed did it, it's a terrible routine and you will only ruin your back attempting it. The fact that it's featured in Men's Health should be an indicator of just how terrible it is

If I may make a suggestion, swap Legs/Shoulders and Back/Biceps. Your deltoids get worked during most chest exercises so you want to give them a bit of a rest

In that order.
