Saw the videos but I don’t feel like I am doing them right. Doing them without weight but it just hurts.

Even squating with a barbell and no weights feels wrong. I cant go all the way down

I dont know how to do squats and those other exercises. I am new to sport

Thanks for feedback.

I chose easy movements cause I dont understand deadlifts etc. without injuring myself.

Isnt it not better to do variations of all chest exercises?

Like on Push A Barbell Benchpress you can load heavier weight and on Push B I could load less cause of stabilising muscles for Dumbbell Bench?

Just get thinner without losing too much muscle and if possible gain muscles.

I weight 77 kg 175 cm tall

I weight 76,7 kg.

My goal is actually 74 kg but with a bit more muscles and less fat. Like maybe 15% body fat?

Right Now I guess I am at 18% fat and no muscles. I am skinny fat.

So I actually have no idea if I should lose weight or gain muscles first or how much to eat or not eat. I just try to get my protein in, work out hard and try not to eat to less and too much.

I work 7 nights, 8 off, 7 nights, 8 off and so on…

All I can say is that ending my 7th nightshift coming out monday morning it is great to go shopping, it is great to go to the local spa, it is great to basically do any activity cause no crowds.

The downside is that I am usually the only person low age and rest are retired people. Or my friends that work shifts too and are off, thats great.

If I wouldn’t have a wife that has only off weekends and works a regular 9 to 5 I’d probably try to work every weekend and take days off monday to friday. Weekends suck imo cause everything is crowded.

I like to go to the gym monday to thursday, I’m usually alone at 10 in the morning with a few old people doing random exercises. But they don’t block the leg press, the benches and the pull up bars.

In general I am very grateful for working shifts (especially night) cause more money, less stress at work (quiet at night) and no management. And I can go to the gym when no one is there.

Do you think they will laugh at me?

Thanks I try

I don’t drink beer and in my country I have no Walmart. I also don’t use social media besides Lemmy anymore and I eat clean protein rich food every meal since 6 months.

Yeah I am doing Push Pull Leg Day, each of them twice a week.

So all of my exercises have 10 reps. The first two exercises 4 sets and the others ones currently 3 sets ( I am too exhausted for more) only abs I do 5 sets of 15

So for example Pull day: 4x10 Lat Pulldowns 4x10 Cable rows (seated) close grip 4x10 T Bar rows wide grip 5x15 Cable Crunches 3x10 Dumbbells curls

For Push Day: 4x10 Bench Press 4x10 Cable Flys 3x10 Shoulder Press (seated, dumbbells) 3x10 Triceps Pushdowns (cable) 5x15 Leg raises

Monday and Thursday are my Chest, Shoulder, Triceps Tuesday and Friday my Back, Lats, Biceps Wednesday and Saturday my Leg days.

Just aesthetics and general fitness

I do 4 Sets of 10 in all exercises… once I can eadily do 15 I increase weight a bit

Okay, but if I want to get better at pull ups, maybe other way around?

Can I do 1 week with lat pulldowns first and the next week the negatives first?

I was thinking of doing 3 pull ups and fill the rest of the sit with 7 negative pull ups for 3 total sets and then move on to lat pulldowns.

The next week start with lat pulldowns and only do negative pull ups?

Think I can integrate that into my current pull day?

Should I do those first or Lat Pulldowns?

Just starting out.

I want to do pull ups but I can’t do them yet and my gym doesn’t have assist machine. So I think general fitness first and in 10 weeks I’d like to start doing pull ups with assisted bands instead of lat pull downs

I heard it from Chris Heria and from some other calisthenics youtuber.

Ok I dont think I can do them yet…

I have a weighted machine in my gym but most ppl dont recommend them cause the core isnt actvated

No just interested in strength. I want to start bouldering soon so big muscles aren’t really my goal. I am just curious if it would be possible though
