I live in the UK, but lets just say that it is not money that is keeping me out the gym and leave it at that.
They need to be a weight that is challenging to lift 10 times. That's 10 reps.
Is it wise for a guy like me who has done zero heavy lifting for the last 4 years to start doing challenging reps right away? should I not perhaps spend a month or 2 doing smaller weights and getting used to it? I am saying this because 2 years ago I got a job putting together those peloton exercise bikes, and to even start working on them we had to lift them out of box's, after having to lift these bikes about 5 times in one day i was just done, my brain was telling my body to lift it but my body was telling my brain to go jump off a bridge, I physically could not do it and had to quit to save from more humiliation. At this point I had been unemployed and lazy for about 3 and a half years.
The bands were about 60 bucks. I can find you an amazon link if you want.
Thanks, but im pretty broke all the time, and my weed habit takes priority ( Guess ima have to stop that **** if i want results right?
) Plus ever since brexit we now have to pay an extra import fee at the door or the deliverer wont give me the item i have already paid for, and seeing as i have a track record of quitting, I do not wanna invest in any equipment just yet, I already have a set of dusty as weights in my closet lol the will have to do for now.
To lose fat you must eat less.
I actually do not eat a whole lot, and like i said i have pretty much skipped breakfast for 10 years in a row due to smoking, but when i do eat its usually binging on unhealthy sheit, I do try to make healthy smoothies when i can afford the ingredients though. I do plan to start ' juicing ' on healthy things though. Lots of fruit and oats and a few greens.
What you could do for me is perhaps give me an idea for a week long meal plan? one suitable and affordable for a newb who gets only £198 every 2 weeks? and I will tailor it to make it work as im guessing you may mention some food stuffs or supplments that we do not have in he UK.
That would help alot as i suck at knowing whats actually god for me. I'm also hoping to change how my skin looks as it looks all grey and gloomy due to an unhealthy life if you could recommend something for that.
Either way, thanks for taking the time to give me advice and encouragement -

Dumbbells:
A measure is that you can lift it ten times and the tenth time is a challenge. So, that is any weight relative to you.
I can lift 60 pound dumbells 10 times very easily. You cannot do that and so what can you lift ten times?
If you have dumbbells that get heavy after around ten times that is good.
If you **** around "getting ready" to lift, you will never lift. You have to do it and suffer for it. That is what makes your body adapt and grow.
We grow muscle because your body is "scared" and under threat, so it adapts to get stronger to deal with the threat.
If you want to warm up, you can do bodyweight exercises like pushups.
Weed:
Weed has tons of estrogen and it's an antianxiety drug so using that will led to fatness and lower testosterone.
Also, you are using it to relax and that's god's joke on addicts. Now, you have anxiety about a deteriorating body and you don't have enough cash to buy health items.
The more drugs you use, of any kind, the more anxiety you will have. If you stop doing drugs you will feel better as you will be more in command of your life and will not need the drugs.
Drugs are for weaklings and if you use them people cannot count on you. Currently, if you fell down a hole you couldn't pull yourself out and would die. If you had to pull another person out, they would die.
What kind of man is that?
What if you saw a little kid getting abducted? What could you do now?
Being sober and fit means you're READY FOR ACTION, as you should be.
Food:
Meat and vegetables is the best idea. You need only basic macronutrients, fat, carbs, protein.
You want to get a large amount of protein per day, if possible. So, a chicken breast is like 20 grams of protein. So, if you can get double or triple that would be great.
Vegetable and fruit smoothies are mostly trash fad stuff. Meat is very close to cannibalism and so it contains most of what you need to build a body, because it IS a body. -

I never thought about it that way but it makes a lot of sense lol thanks dude, I will heed this advice, perhaps not about the weed though, I need it, no compromise lol. I will cut down tho. -

Cutting down but not stopping can be key for some types of people.
Yes, most of the "healthy" foods talked about on TV, Media, is bullshit and will not make you robust. Vegetables and fruits are mostly water and sugar.
The human body is a factory and needs all of the ingredients to keep production up.
Meat has all of it. -

Good thing I love meat then lol **** I love meat. I hate where it comes from though.
Well, fruit and veg are still good for you in other ways and I really need to eat healthier. Smoking at a very young age has screwed up my appetite tho, gotta work on that too.
Good lord so much to work on lol -

There's nothing wrong with eating vegetables, they are good for fiber.
I don't like where meat comes from either and really wish they would start producing lab grown meat. I love animals and wish there was an alternative.
On a humorous note, I know people, and if lab grown meat become real, and it good, there will be huge campaigns to kill off all the animals that we eat.
They take up a lot of real estate.
In a hundred years, cows and chickens will be in zoos.
Anyway, you do not have much to do.
Do, ten reps of ten 10x10 on a body part each day.
Chest, arms, shoulders, back, legs (squats). That will not take long.
Go for walks. Walk around a shopping area or park to people watch.
Use a calorie calculator to figure out daily calls. Maybe use a phone app to track food cals eaten.
Try to eat protein more than other foods.
All of that is simple and doesn't take long. -

I type so much I occasionally make bizarre typos as my fingers are going crazy.
Once you start working out, growth comes with REST.
I workout like a beast for four weeks, then I take the next week off and do nothing or very light stuff. T
he body needs to heal after lift because lifting creates tiny tears in the muscles. So, all of that needs to heal.
That's why you work one body part per week, not daily. -

I knew that, pretty much the ONLY thing I knew about BBuilding lol but yeah, when you sleep is when the repairs happen most, right? Thats why they call it a power nap. I really do need to work on a normal sleep cycle because right now im going thru stages of staying awake for like 2 days and sleeping for 16 hours after, its ****ed up. -

All of that is druggy stuff and if you can quit it, that would be great.
Working out is part of a whole philosophy of living. Doing drugs and having no reasons to be on point is very depressing and like a living death.
Meanwhile, you whole body is made of food and that's why what you eat is very important. -

Something like 10 years ago I was another person. Seems like a lifetime passed since then. I used to be able to do one-arm chin ups. I'd do push ups like it was nothing. I took kung fu lessons and half the training was cardio, I used to count calories and carbs… But I was never ripped. I've always had a small frame. Then a bunch of things happened and now I'm a sedentary pig.
