They do, as a rule.
But not all beginnes are the same.
The beginners that show the fastest progress, the ones that have great before and after pictures and get a lot of attention, are usually ones with athletic backgrounds. The ones that played sports or had physical lives growing up. They are ‘beginners’ to weight training, they are not beginners to physical exertion.
so they gain muscle faster because they already did soccer stuff etc in past?
Because they had some headstart to physical development, yes. I started training when I was 14, I bought a pull up bar, I did 5 reps on my first ever set. Not because i was genetically gifted or anything, but Id played sports and climbed trees growing up.
People that do a lot of sprinting in youth typically progress very quickly on squats and deadlifts when they start them. Kids that did nothing but sit until they were 16 will take a lot longer.
The point is you can still make the same progress, eventually, you just have to catch up to the same starting point first. You need to increase your bodies general physical ability though, and you should probably be doing some training every day to get to a normal starting point.
sigh
Oh yes you can. Many people have and many people will, especially teenagers who can withstand a very high volume of calisthenic exercises.
That’s why all those “my calisthenics journey” clips on Youtube feature scrawny 15 and 16 year olds that have made large improvements in their physique in the span of 6 months or a year.
But judging from the attitude you’re displaying in this thread, you won’t be one of them. Take up some other physical activity and come back to calisthenics or lifting weights when you’ve changed mentally.
You should probably eat meat and squat then. That would probably solve the issue.
and what if i can’t lift more if it is true that I lift like a girl?
There are many, many girls who are stronger than you, so it might not be the best description.
You are very weak for a full grown man, yes. Training appropriately will solve that, eventually.
Almost. a stubborn German, similar but differrent.
Just because…
Lift more than what? Arnold?
I am a big fan of how well this topic will serve in the future for how to NOT succeed at getting bigger and stronger. This is a great blueprint.
Yup. When you think of how @Alpha has spent the past year+ dealing with 2 major parasites AND lime’s disease AND traumatic brain injury and is still training hard, it’s amazing that some folks think they can’t succeed due to self-diagnosed maladies.
So does a major parasite and lime’s disease and brain injury decrease strength of people? IF not, then he isn’T any special. Brain injury also shouldn’t decrease strength and make muscles weak.
It could make you feel feek ya. But that’s only a feel. I’s not a real thing.
I can have AIDS and still train and still gain good amount of muscles. Though not sure if AIDS will hinder muscle growth.
Yes, yes they do.
If it limits your ability to train, that hurts your performance.
If it limits your ability to eat enough, that hurts your performance.
If it limits your ability to move pain free, that hurts your performance.
At this point it’s clear you are either a troll or just incredibly stupid. Both will limit your ability to make progress.
You haven’t ever gained any muscle, so how would you know?
you guys realize you’re trying to make sense to someone who believes AIDS doesn’t hinder muscle growth, right? I can’t believe this thread is still going. You’re all talking to a brick wall. Or, if there exists a more obtuse inanimate object than a brick wall, then you’re talking to that.
I’m pretty sure this is the worst I’ve seen on this forum, ever.
I was typing out basically the same thing when you replied. I can’t believe it’s still going. The argumentative little bitch is just looking attention at this point. And… he is getting it! Ugh!
u are getting it too now. @ChickenLittle
You are an idiot. You may also be a troll, but you are certainly an idiot.
I’m out.
Hell yeah brother.
Yes. That you ask this question is why you should not trust your thoughts on training.
