I see literal 13 year olds working out now OP, you can lift.

start with the bar, try your best, once you're comfortable, start putting weights on it.

pick a lighter weight...
If you are seriously below even that then run and do bodyweight exercises with bands to make them easier.

I'm a 20yo male, a bit thin, low bf. Went to the gym but could not lift anything

>>42082071
>>42082073
I've tried with just the bar, I physically can't lift it. Feel like I'm gonna burst a blood vessel

>>42082067
pls no bully :(

>>42082084
start with light dumbells, do:
>bench press
>shoulder press
>bulgarian split squats
>single leg deadlifts
and body weight stuff, do
>pullups
>dips
once you get your strength up, move on to barbell stuff if you wish

>>42082109
No, I can't do any bodyweight stuff. I'm not strong okay. I've tried, wanted to do some curls but couldn't curl the easy bar

>>42082139
What's the lowest weight you tried?

>>42082139
Can you get up if you're sitting on the ground?

>>42082051
Start with calisthenics? PE stuff.
Push ups, sit ups and so forth. Why spend money on the gym if you dont feel ready for it.

>>42082139
Try 2.5lbs dumbbells nigga

Exactly how weak are you? Im picturing something out of Auschwitz on how you are describing your strength level.

Jesus Christ. Are you missing one or both of your arms? Is this some sort of ruse?

Maybe you could try push ups off your knees. You have to be able to do a body weight squat. Did you try anything with 2.5lb dumbbells?

Also, Convict Conditioning starts off with moves for absolute retards.

>>42082051
start with a month or so of calisthenics, and make sure to eat a lot more than you were previously. After that month or so, you'll be strong enough to move on to free weights, even if it's just the bar.

>>42082139
post pics of you arms

What is your age, height and mass? Get your test checked

Fucking hell anon

There was once a really old guy who wanted to lift at our gym, but his joints were too bad. He lifted an old broom handle to get used to the motion. Try that?

>>42082187
I'm a bit thin but nothing too bad. Can't see all of my ribs

>>42082198
20, 5'7, 95lbs

>>42082194
they look average

>>42082051
Explain further.
What happens when you try to, say, bench press an empty bar?
Can you bench a non-oly bar (25 lbs instead of 45)? A 13 lbs curl bar? A wooden pole?

>>42082230
I've tried lifting the easy bar but couldnt do it. I don't know how to explain it, but my arms just feel heavy

>>42082214
Negative push ups? starting push up position and then slowly and I mean really slowly move down until your chest hit the ground.

And eat some more then you usually do.

>>42082214
Just get a man to lift the weight for you bb

>>42082255
Are you so weak you cannot lift your arms above your head?
Are you so weak you can not physically walk/sit down/get up from bed?

These are literal requirements to lift without adding a single pound of weight.

>>42082255
>my arms jut feel heavy
Kek. Just raise them above your head or something?

Also do you lose yourself when you look in the mirror?

Bodyweight exercises are what personal trainers and i would recommend for a beginner to focus on, after you can perform respectable amounts of reps with your bodyweight you can move on to added weights.

This has to be fucking bait

>>42082255
>but my arms feel heavy
Thats kinda the point, did you try moving them at all?

Im thinking more its the lack of energy. 95 lbs is pretty low, try eating more and and then start with easy and slowly progress.

Start with a Hasfit workout bodyweight routine without weights https://youtu.be/jTYxEwlEukM
This will help you to gain muscular endurance. Also, run or do any other kind of cardio activity to make sure your hearth can follow along once you're hitting the gym. Otherwise you will be out of breath just by lifting weights. Hope this works Anon, you can make it.
