Search thenx or Chris heria on YouTube.
Combine that with search for pull ups and you will find video to get you started
He is really good and does cater for novices even though he is capable of crazy strength shit himself!
Tempted to try this but will struggle with a pull up bar and dips.
I got an app for it last week, squats, press ups, sit ups, leg raises etc. My legs were fucking agony the next day.
Fucking prices of second hand gym equipment is ridiculous right now. When o started building a home gym it was a solid £1/kg for weight plates, it’s two or three times that now and everything is sold out online.
Really hoping gyms open soon and the market floods so I can get some bargains. Started eying a rowing machine with Bluetooth so I can race myself
My weighing today was 131kg down from 143, but my weightloss starts from today took a few photos and will compare it every 4 weeks from today
Thats great going, almost 2 stone gone, never to return! I'm currently at 81kg, and it is honestly way more effort now to lose 0.5lb fat than it was to lose a whole stone in fat 5 months ago. Whatever I do it seems impossible to shed the last bit, just focussing on the body fat % now, which stands at 17.7%, but my god its hard- massive effort for tiny (or zero) gains at this point, to the point where I wonder if its over training & a few days completely off might do the trick. Need something to aim at too- the objective was to lose weight and I kind of did that, so to avoid now patting myself on the back & promptly putting it all straight back on, looking for some kind of target, half marathon or something like that.
One thing I have found- I got some protein powder and tested it out- whenever I take some of that before/ after exercise I'll see more benefit than when I don't- recommended. I only have cheap stuff from Tesco, but from what I can see it definitely helps.
Are protein shakes worth it if you’re just lifting a few times a week? Do you see a difference?

Yeah those and bulk powders are good. They also do diet versions and some strange flavours.100% definitely, yes. I have a withing scale and I tested it (proper geek)- if I do weights and take the protein I'll gain a pound in muscle compared to weights on their own. And thats just with 'Kinetica' from tesco- I'm going to upgrade and get some from here which seems to be really good Myprotein

I've found I always end up back to the traditional flavours and not the novelty ones.
I gave a squat rack to the scrapman last year, it never got used as it was quite smalljust went to shit in the garden.
Wish I had kept it now.
A quick nap in the evening before exerciseWould welcome people's ideas on handling burn out in relation to getting round to exercise. I feel very drained most of the time as I'm burning the candle at both ends on the laptop for work, which has pretty much been the case since September. The missus is in the same position and while summer holidays are around the corner we just can't get the time/motivation/energy up for being active. Has anyone been in a similar position/got any ideas?

As others have said, you need to force yourself to do it, even if you feel like you have zero energy or motivation - you’ll be thankful of doing so afterwards.Would welcome people's ideas on handling burn out in relation to getting round to exercise.

Protein shakes are the Emperors new clothes.
The body can only absorb so many grams of protein per day, and any excess just gets pissed away, literally, so all these protein shakes & supplements are a waste of money & a placebo at best.
Protein hype: shoppers flushing money down the toilet, say experts
Interesting. I do like research that confirms my bias that I shouldn’t change.

Just eat more omelettes.....I fucking love an omelette
However...if you are really controlling your calories to lose weight then you are very unlikely to be getting enough protein & other good things, so supplements are vital. If you're having a burger or something most evenings then yes, supplements are not necessary. However if you're doing that then you're also unlikely to be limiting your calorie intake.
Currently I’m low carb. I’m eating three eggs, bacon or sausage, and steaks/. I reckon my protein intake is probably OK. I’d genuinely rather add another steak into my diet those drink look nasty. Also it’s the next step to gym wanker
It depends what flavour you get and if you make a point of everybody knowing you have a protein drink.
It’s bad enough I own weight lifting gloves mate.
