that "workout" is absolutely retarded.

>>42894279
okay, so he has absolutely no fucking clue what he is doing then? he literally says he trains people, and has "clients".

>>42894293
We dont know him, we dont know you.
We can only judge the program you've given us, and it looks trashy

>>42894293
Read the fucking sticky
Does your "trainer" realize that there are body parts other than arms? You'll look fucking stupid if you actually manage to gain any muscle on this routine.
Never speak to the person who made this for you again, unless they are a literal retard you hang out with as a form of volunteering.

alright. i'll read the sticky then. i've read it before but usually focused on the weight loss parts. and no i don't hang out with him.

could be. most ppl working at regular gyms have no fucking idea what they are talking about and write plans with max reps and with as many machines as possible. and they almost never let you use free weights or do compounds (probably scared you'll end up hurting yourself or start making gains).


just read the sticky and do one of the beginner routines (I'd recommend Fierce5 instead of SSGOMAD mememagic). preferably without adding anything to them. never do more than 3-5 exercises per day. and do 3x5 for compounds 2x10 for accessories. you do not need to do dropsets or anything of the sort.

also don't be paranoid about other ppl judging you at the gym, you are invisible until you made the required gains

>>42894399
thank bro. i'll look at fierce 5 and read the sticky again today. when i walk in i'm just gonna check in and have my hood and earbuds on.

good luck then. and remember to stick to the routine for at least 6 weeks. preferably 3 months or more. if you start second guessing anything, you'll only give yourself an excuse to stop so that you can start again for real

one more thing. i still live at home. buying food is stuff and keeping up with calories and protein is also. i basically got rid of every thing that was garbage. do i really need to keep track of everything like the sticky says? i dont know how im supposed to do that shit. if i want to be 170Ibs, then i have to eat 170g of protein? a day? there is just no fucking way man

>>42894984
buying food is tough*

>>42894984
If you want it enough, you'll find a way. Greatness is never easy.

>>42895084
if i followed that advice i would go through everything in this house in 5 days. including the whey protein i bought. its only 30g a scoop. it cost 25 fucking dollars.

I'd strongly suggest tracking you food maticulatly in the beginning, since you have no idea what macros are in which meals or how to portion. Just use a tracker on your phone, like Yazio or something.
Also the gram per pound rule is a bit iffy for most ppl. I do believe it is optimal but I only use it as a vauge goal and most of the time I dont hit it myself. Just try to get at the very least half of it. something like 100-130 is pretty doable from my experience. I'd also reccomend against drinking more than 1-2 protein shakes per day in the long term.... no matter which brand it never ends well otherwise..

>>42895432
okay so basically just count calories.

>>42895515
do you even read bro?
counting calories is useless. count your fucking macros or don't bother at all

>>42895591
so try to get at least half the protein i need a day?

what the hell do i do. focus on building muscle or lose fat? apparently i can only do one at a time. i'm at 17% body fat. i need 10%. my BMI is 25
