How does this routine look for a beginner getting into lifting weights at 50 years old?
A Workout:
DB bench (slight incline) 4 x 8-12
Lateral raises 3 x 10- 12
Reverse lunge 4 x 8- 12
Goblet squat with bench 5 x 5
Farmers carry 6 x 20 metres
B Workout:
Seated row 4 x 8- 12
Reverse pec deck flyes 3 x 10- 12
Romanian dead lift 4 x 10- 12
Goblet Squat 5 x 5
Farmers carry 6 x 20 metres
Execution: Alternate ABA first week and BAB second week. Add weight when max range of reps can be achieved. Omit the lunges and romanian dead lifts until a base of strength has been built. Watcha think?

Are you really 50 or are you using the pink dumbbells?
Hit me with your meal prep diets. I'm trying to create a meal plan and I'm looking for the sort of thing I can make in bulk and have that serve as most of my food for the next few days. Bonus points if it's around 3000 Calories.
>>42582236
Cook up some protein and carbs in isolation and then every meal is just a mix and match of something from the protein group, the carb group, and some produce or leafy greens I don't even count the nutritional content of.
>>42582236
Turkey and Buffalo meatloaf w/mixed veggies. I have no clue what the calorie count is.
>>42582236
Do you heat that up in a microwave or eat it cold?
What if I add in HIIT + cardio on top of my current training, eating extra calories to replace those I burn, and sleep a bit extra?
Will I get leaner and bigger?
>>42582188
>Will I get leaner and bigger?
HIIT as well as traditional cardio lower your insulin resistance and your fasting blood glucose and that could give you some weight loss and a bit more muscle growth. Not gonna be much tho, its not gonna make you suddenly blow up in size and get ultrashredded, but it will help a bit. Sleep is very important for recovery after doing lifting, so if you dont get enough of it now, you are missing out on gains

No.
Obv. I need more muscles.
>>42582180
keep training, lad.
you'll know you've made it when a 6'5 black man squeeze your bicep and ask you to squat him.
>tfw i've actually seen purple aki try to squeeze some lads muscles irl

help me /fit/. I need to bulk and make my own food/eat 3 meals a day. I know how to cook good food that tastes good, but sometimes, like today, I'm so goddamn lazy I don't even want to spend 20 minutes making a lunch. I'm literally hungry as fuck rn but just can't get up and do the cooking.
Stop being a bitch and cook some fucking chicken
>>42582090
You have to want it more than anyone else.
Being lazy is not wanting it. If you want to be lazy and live your life the same as you have been. Then keep doing the same behaviors.
If you want a different life, if you want a different you, step up and start being different.
Youre the pilot captain, no one else is gonna steer the ship for you.
>>42583961
Fag.
He's right tho, stop being a lazy little bitch. I'm trying hard to lose weight, and I'm doing good because I fucking want it, not because I post a thread asking people why I'm not motivated to be alpha. Stay beta, we need people like you to make us look good anyway.
Is it true that muscle burns calories, and that the more muscle you have, the faster you'll lose weight?
Isn't that just common sense? In fact, it is often recommended to do anaerobic exercise over aerobic because at mid and long term you'll burn more calories than with cardio.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't do both.
>>42581999
Yes and that's also why TDEE/BMI is a meme for anyone who lifts at least a decent amount of weight. I hit 1/2/3/4 a while ago but it wasn't until I realised my maintenance is closer to 3000 than 2300 like meme calculators say that I started to get towards 2/3/4/5.
And no I'm not a fatty. Even people with ~20% bodyfat look better when they have muscles
>>42582097
>Even people with ~20% bodyfat look better when they have muscles
This is so much true. Fatties should do cardio, lots of it, but increasing their muscle mass by lifting weights would really skyrocket their fat loss and good looks.
As long as they don't fall for the bulking meme, of course.

How do I make myself go more often? Why am I stuck in a shell!!!
Find a reason to truly, legitimately hate yourself. Are you fat? Hate fat people. Are you a lanklet? Hate lanklets. Are you lazy? Hate slobs.
Hate is the only thing that'll get you off your lazy ass and into the gym. Or at least, that's what works for me
>>42582208
>are you a manlet?
>hate myself
>>42582377
Hey dude, chin up. At least maybe you can be a Y U G E manlet someday if you lift
We are all gonna make it , aren't we?
You're God damn right we are.
>>42582586
That's the spirit
200% tomorrow brother

Probably not, but lets shoot for the stars buddy.

What do?
I'm bulking right now but I'm sick today and can't work out. Should I still eat at a surplus even if I haven't lifted since Friday?
I need to hear about some cheap bulking foods
How do you deal with this shit, it's starting to hurt while doing exrecises
Would Deku's training work?
You'd be in decently good shape if you moved heavy shit around every day and had a good diet, yes. Kind of like going to the gym.
>>42581738
No, BnH is fiction for a reason. All Deku did was large amounts of conditioning, and with the power of "willpower" got good results. Wouldn't work in real life.
>>42581738
Of course. Just don't forget to ask nicely the biggest guy around for his DNA and willingly and knowingly swallow it.
I've been counting calories for the past 3 months and have gone down from a XXL to a L shirt so I feel like it's time to get into running
START SLOW your tendons and bones and shit are gonna be weak af especially if you go on asphalt/concrete
>>42581690
get good running shoes, don't go cheap.
>>42581690
Just eat less. Not even memeing, cardio is just there to burn energy. If you don't take in as much energy you don't have to burn any off via cardio. It'll be safer on your joints this way.
>inb4 muh heart health
Again, if you don't eat things which clog your heart it won't be a problem. If you seriously MUST do cardio then do something like bicycle or rowing where there isn't so much strain on your knees.
So I'm going camping for a night in a couple of days and won't be able to eat much food.
Will eating less than normal (I'm bulking currently) for like 2 days fuck with my gains?
>2days
