Old cac was timing his sets to my sets, couldn’t help but see the old man behind me in the mirror when I squat.
the only thing I personally witnessed was a weirdo gay guy drying his dikk off with the hand dryer, he was facing away from me but pulling his shorts out
First, change your mindset. At the stage you are at, you're not getting swole anyways. Second, research a beginner program like Starting Strength and make sure you focus on learning how to perform the exercises properly.Any beginner tips for a nikka that’s going to the gym for the first time? Imma be alone and I have NO idea where to begin.
I’m not trying to get all muscular swole like.
But I am trying to get some defenition and lose weight

ICF 5x5 is a good one too if you want to build a baseso just research starting strength and go from there? Sorry bro I’m a complete novice when it comes to this shyt.

You probably have a target goal each day for what you do: 300 push-ups, 400 sit-ups, whatever. Then you probably go and set out to hit that number or damn near die trying.
The Bulgarian Method of powerlifting (or Squat Everyday) doesn't do this. You're supposed to stop as soon as you slow the bar down, or when you start to feel like shyt, or as soon as you're not confident you'll make the next set. There re no hard goals each day; you have an idea but it is what it is once you get under the bar.
There's no benefit to working past that pii t since you're just gonna have to do the same thing the next day and the next.
Most folks out here squatting once or maybe twice a week (three times for folks on StrongLifts or SS). But imagine if you had to go and squat everyday. There's a reason nikkas skip legs like a muhfukka but show up early for chest and arm days.
The whole point of TBM is frequency >>> *, so you have to play the long game if your gonna do that for 2-4 months (or longer) at a time. Burning yourself out in one session only sets you up for failure the next.
Also, remember that calis are a lot easier to recover from than weights. The reason you're more likely to snap your shyt up training your way with weights is your joints and connective tissues will give out way before the actual muscles will, especially when repeating the same movement patterns constantly (google overuse injuries).
I had forgot all about ole buddy laid up in the ICU looking like
I never knew that connective tissues and joints give out quicker than your muscles. Never even considered that, and it makes perfect sense.
For my current cali workout, I workout every day for the most part. I did take a day off yesterday, and that was my first day off in probably 8 or 9 days.
I feel like it's the opposite for newbs: the DOMS and lack of neural pathways means they'll probably reach muscle failure before they can significantly stress their joints day in and day out.
Once your muscles become accustomed to the abuse of listing the joints, tendons, ligaments seem to wear down before the muscles reach their limit.
One of the things a lot of steron users forget, and it sometimes leads them into Snap City: the gear increased the muscles' ability to recover but not their joints.
