How am I doing?

>random pages online
>workouts are 25 minutes
>TDEE that high

Thats a boat load of misinformation right there. Read the sticky and recalculate your TDEE. Im 250 5'11 and my TDEE is 2700. Theres no way yours is that high.

Read the sticky

Do a fullbody workout, like SS, SL, or Greyskull.

I did read the sticky but just ended up confused. Not sure what I did wrong for the calculation but I'll do it again.

What is SS and SL? I'll look up Greyskull. Thanks!

SS (Starting Strength) and SL (Strong Lifts) are beginner routines that focus on a full body workout 3-4 times a week. It's good for starting out (I did SL 5x5 for 3 months), and allows you to get enough rest, practice, and growth until you can hit heavier weights, where you can start messing around with accessories and different rep schemes.

I'd go through the sticky one more time over. I feel like you missed on key points there, especially about food/nutrition. You can have snacks (encouraged), but you need to be aware of your overall caloric limit and macros (fat, protein, carbs) and eat appropriate/efficient food, rather than fast food, where you can get 3k calories in one sitting and get shit all for macros.

What kind of body are you trying to go for, what is your experience, income, time per week that you can dedicate to fitness?

I looked both those programs up, and see they require weights and bench and all that which I don't have. I'm looking for more of a "home gym" type thing.

My dumbass didn't click the right area on the sticky and have now read it and it makes more sense. I am not eating fast food anymore, but I am having trouble understanding all the macro/micro stuff. I'll work on it.

I just want to be within my "healthy" weight with decent abs/ arms. Not looking to be a big muscle man. Zero experience with this stuff. I can dedicate 3-5 days to it for working out, maybe $200 max for equipment and such.

What's in your home gym?

>>41527132

As of right now, nearly nothing. A floor mat, two 5 lb ankle weights and an 8 lb hand weight. Since I've been using mostly my own weight/running for my workouts I haven't particularly seen the need for anything else.

I'm about to go buy vitamin D and fish oil supplements. As well as turkey breast, shrimp, rice and wheat bread.

>healthy weight with decent abs/arms

You can do this by literally losing weight and doing curls and different variations of curls with more curls. I will warn you though: once you already see yourself negatively, you will get to the point where you will look at your body and it will seem out of proportion.

Bodyweight routines like you are aiming for *can* work for your goal, but weightlifting is infinitely easier, and I would argue, more fun, than bodyweight. If you are set on it, get a backpack and buy some cheap weight plates off Craigslist, even if theyre rusty. You will need some sort of resistance later on. Maybe pick up some dumbbells of assorted weights if you can get them cheap.

I would seriously, seriously consider getting a gym membership. It isn't as bad as you think, nobody will judge you, and you arent going to snap your back from breathing near the weights. You aren't going to turn into a "big muscle man" overnight, trust me. I wish it was that simple.

If you want to get serious about a home gym, you're probably going to spend more than $200.

You can take that $200 and get a 6-month gym membership, possibly a 1-year if you negotiate it.

If you are serious about only working out at home, I suggest you get a doorway pullup bar ($25), and get a pair of adjustable dumbbells that go up to 90lbs, but these can run you more like $500 new, so you'll have to shop on Craigslist. If you have a heavy-duty trunk of some type, a bench can wait.

Get on craigslist and get a shitty weight set for 100 bucks.

So in essence, keep doing what I'm doing with some adjustments to diet and get some weights to lift consistently?

>workout from nerd fitness

Read the sticky you fucking idiot.

If you want it to take 4+ years and put you at the same strength level as a girl doing strength training for a year, sure.

If you want actual results, find the reason why you are skirting joining the gym and work it out. I've seen normal non "big guy" people squat 2pl8s. You are making things harder for yourself by not getting a membership

Remove cereal and corn flakes, eat oats instead

What will the gym do different for me that I can't do at home? If I have the equipment and work out consistently what is the difference?

As far as protein goes, besides diet, how do I supplement with powder or bars or milks. Everything has like 20g of protein with hundreds of calories. Is this not counterproductive?
