what is some great advice you wish you knew when you started?

don't trust /fit/

1. Consistent progress, no matter how little > everything

2. It takes a long time, don't give up because you dont look like your favourite action movie hero in a month or two

3. (Because I'm a skinny bastard) Eat. EAT!

4.Form > more weight

5. If a supplement or certain clothes help you make progress, nothing wrong with using them. Don't be a snob.

in that order of importance.

Dont be scared to take steroids

Stick with SS for the first 6 months, don't let /fit/'s memery scary you into changing your routine before you're ready

Fucking love finishing off a workout with wrist rolls

The last few inches are agonizing

That bodyweight routines are perfectly fine.

I wish I had known that I needed 20 pounds of cast iron to use the gyms forge. I couldn't even make a single fucking plate with the amount I brought.

I did wirst rollers for a long time and I never got any results.

Heavy deadlifts also not. I have been seeing only now some forearm gains doing heavy weighted low rep pull ups.

>>38505693
"Wristcurls" seem to work pretty good for me

>>38504632
How often do you do that OP? Tell me everything you wish you would have known about wrist rollers/ forearms.

>>38504968
Take this anon's advice. Buy lacrosse balls and support the sport

>>38504968
great forearm exercise. Started doing it after I got into rock climbing and hnnng

>>38504968

it deals with a psychological effect where you see your forearms pumped and you think it will grow

just like doing 50 reps of push up does to your chest

A jesi malo autističan a?

Yeah, as long as it's 2 times bodyweight amirite fellas

How important diet is

I lifted for at least 2 years and hardly saw any changes besides a bit more definition and noob gains obviously. Made more progress 3 months after I started tracking calories and macros than I did in the first 2 years
