@Chris_Colucci
I can do countless bodyweight exercises.
I could literally do pushups for twentyinutes sttaight and then begin to feel them… same with pullups or squats or lunges.
When i first started working out thats all id do all the time…
Sooo nooo bodyweight exercises aint do nothing but thanks.
And as to the weight program in that article well i would use that but dont have all the equipment in my gym
Ah well i guess im a major noob at this stuff…
I have no idea on a program and how to do any exercises .
I am a bit injured atm cant work out for a bit i overtrained…
I used to have this protein powder thatd help alot with recovery and i was making gains but ever since i ran out i aint recovering quickly and i went to gym same amount but because wasnt recovering overtrained…
Everyone i appreciate the advice withthe foods but i have no idea how to put a ultra cheap effective muscle building diet together and an effective workout program with the equipment i have acces to.
I have tried using the smith machinr but it feels unnatural and i dont like it tbh…
Thats BS. Bodyweight moves can be extremely powerful. Can you do 20 perfect chinups from a dead hang then bar up to chest?? I highly doubt it.
For example do push ups like this for 5 sets and I defy you not to feel it…
In pushups i dont feel the chest burn. Iv tried een supersetting pushups after dumbell bench press and still hardly feel it.
Thoughts?
I just tried those pushups in the video with minimal effect.
Sooo this is my learning thread!!
Here to learn as much as possible i have gotten lots of diet tips and things from everyonr already thankyou! But training program ? With the equipment i listed??
@kd13 yo sorry i didnt respond but yes i am interested i dont wanna overtrain as iv already done that but im thinking 3-4 weight training a week will be good.
And man i really gotta work them abbs.
Cos who doesnt want abbs lol.
And well one cardio day because cardio is good for you
The main thing I think you need to do is to stop thinking too much, stop making excuses and just make it happen, you are young so I know this is to blame but you need to settle down and know that this is gonna take time and effort in and out of the gym. It should not take over your life your only 14, go out have fun and concentrate on your education.
In terms of training, start with a push pull split
push day…
leg press or Smith squat 4x10
leg extention 4x12
Low incline Smith press 4x10
dumbell shoulder press 4x12
Close hand press ups 3x failure
pull day…
Romanian deadlifts 4x8
Leg curls 4x12
Chin ups 40 reps in what ever sets
bent over row 4x10
bicep curl 4x10
Bonus day.
Dips 40 reps
lateral raises 4x20
Hanging leg raises 4x what ever you can do
Any exercise you enjoy for 4 sets.

Thankyou i shall try that !
I know but i just love to workout so i do think about it alot😅
You don’t want to be that boring guy who has no life experiences and can only hold a conversation about the gym! No one likes that guy what ever is physique is like
You really need to concentrate on form and your mind muscle connection, smooth controlled reps with a nice slow negative. Obviously progression too but don’t sacrifice all the above to go up in weight.
The fact you think body weight exercise are below you shows that you are not doing them right.
Stick with this for minimum 6 weeks without changing it or missing a session.

Rest between sets for certain exercises?
Id like to make half the chinups into pullups is that okay? And on pull session add one set of low row (heavy) and lat pulldown as a finisher? And on push add 2 setsdumbell bench 1 flat and one incline also perhaps a set of close grip smith pressa before the press ups?
I already have a level of muscle development and strentgh as i have been working out for about 5 months.
So i feel like the workput you gave me wont be that effective unless i went heavy as their is not that many exercises?
Thoughts for that^?
And i like my gym sessions about 40-60 mins ??
Also i feel like i moreso need a workout like say Back/biceps ,legs shoulders,chest triceps .
Anyways il try your program for six weeks and i really appreciate it i just feel like doing a few setsfor chest isnt going to really stimulate the chest fibers and build much chest??
Like devoting a whole workout to chest i feel would maximize muscle gain?
Is that just me being an idiot.
-note im probably coming off as an ungrateful jerk of a kid that thinks they know everything and im sorry if it seems that way but i donno dude just smith incline ?? And one shoulder exercise besides the extra day??
You ARE coming off as an ungrateful little brat. People have told you what to do and you still can’t do it. Talk is cheap and whiskey costs money! You want to come on here and play with the big boys now suck it up buttercup!

Well… literally everybody who gave you advice here knows more about training and nutrition than you. That’s the cold, hard, undeniable truth. You’re really in no position to second guess or try to “improve” anything suggested, but that’s exactly what you’ve done more than a few times.
Do you sit in school and tell the teacher “I kinda feel like World War 2 wasn’t a major event in history. I dunno, I think I should learn popular music of the 1940s instead.”
I’m also doubting that you can do 15 chin-ups with perfect technique, or 15 lunges per leg with perfect technique, or push-ups for “20 minutes straight” with perfect technique, but whatever you say. The routine kd wrote is a fine start, but I’d aim for 12 weeks uninterrupted. 6 weeks is nothing.
That’s a bogus excuse. Eggs, potatoes, rice, whole chickens, apples, and canned tuna are almost-definitely less expensive than protein powder, especially when you look at the overall calories/nutrition per dollar.
And, like I said in your other thread, there’s zero reason for you to be having casein and whey shakes. It’s redundant for now and a waste of money.
What, exactly, did you eat yesterday?

I gained around 30lbs of lean mass doing just the above and completely transformed my physique before I moved onto a different routine I still run this now when I need to get back to basics, and guess what, the scale goes up.
I don’t have a book to sell, I’m not trying to get you to pay for a routine, I’m not trying to get you to hire me as a coach and I’m not trying to get you to buy a fancy supplement i just happen to sell. I’m giving you advice on what I have found works, that’s all.
But do as you please it’s only a recommendation…
You think you are an advance lifter and you are not. You keep talking about split routines, supplements, and a bunch of other crap that doesn’t apply to you. Lift 3x per week and focus on compound movements or just use DBs and body weight exercises. Goblet squat, DB bench, DB rows, DB suitcase deadlift, pull ups, push ups, DB OH press, DB snatches, DB clean and press, and countless other exercises.
Here is a sample workout I did with just adjustbell DBs and my rafter. DB snatch 4x5, DB clean and press 4x5, goblet squats supersettee with box jumps, and push ups supper settee with pull ups, throw in some core work and your done.
Wait, what? I missed this before.
How’d you go from four days ago “Dont have training plan because no point when i cant get any nutrition i need so lately havent been to gym” to now injured because of being allegedly overtrained?
Details, please.

Yes, please define overtrained.
Repeating, because I know this will get lost.
Now, onto the variables that will get you where you want to be:
- KD13 provided you a program.
- When you answer the above question, we’ll sort out your diet
- When you answer the above above question, we’ll sort out your ‘overtraining’
…and, you have your placebos… I mean supplements

What’s the heaviest dumbbell you have access to?
Not trying to jump around to too many topics here, but I did just remember this thread where we all talked about the best way to spend $50 on food. I sincerely doubt you spent less than $50 on your protein and creatine. So, again, it was money wasted.
