Hey, /fit, I was wondering if you could help me with some terminology and a few other things.
For about two months now I've been doing a few exercises regularly, and I want to start keeping track of what I'm doing.
I've been doing chin ups, pull ups, push ups with wide stance and close stance, squats and lunges with little or no weight, and crunches on an incline.

I'm not sure if I've got those names right, in the first place, but more important, if I do 20 pull ups, wait a minute or two, do another 20, wait again, do another 20, is that 3 sets of 20 reps?

And a final question: Are there any other simple ways to work out at home? Anything entertaining that counts as a long cardio workout would be nice. I know I should be running, but it's just so boring, so I end up feeling guilty and over-working on the other workouts and being sore for 4 days straight.

Yes, but if you can do 20 pull ups at a clip and don't know the correct name of exercises, you're doing them wrong.

>And a final question: Are there any other simple ways to work out at home?

HIIT for cardio. You won't be bored, because you'll be too busy puking afterward and it only takes a couple minutes.

The twenty was actually an exaggeration. I can do more like 10. Only 5 if I do them half-speed.

>HIIT
Ambiguous acronym is ambiguous.

A note: I do have access to some p90x stuff if that works for HIIT.

HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training

Googleable term is Googleable.

I've gotta say, that GET is pretty symbolic of /fit/. Exaggerations of physical prowess and evidence that further lurking is needed, all in one post.

Right, let me lurk for a few weeks before asking my single, simple question.

you're correct on everything OP. throw in some tricep dips too (pic related) and you might want to think about some sort of bicep curl. and seconding the HIIT if you're easily bored with cardio. the other thing you could do is structure your workout starting from larger to small groups and set yourself a time limit to completion which would count as a cardio/fitness routine. in this event, put some step-ups in as well and start with them to get your h/r up

Ah, thanks.

Another question: What's a good way to build my rear deltoids (I think)? I'm meaning the backs of my shoulders. The fronts and the sides are starting to grow and split into two distinct parts, but I still feel nothing but my shoulder joint when I feel behind.

Don't take it personally, I just thought it was funny since half of /fit/ is one of those two :p You seem to be one of the few who ask these questions but aren't completely retarded.

you'd need equipment for a pull-down. try some bent over rear deltoid raises (http://www.shapefit.com/shoulder-exercises-seated-bent-over-rear-delt-raises.html). imo his form is a little wrong. you want to really focus on isolating this movement so find your personal best pivot vantage point and keep it s-l-o-w for the burn. further down that page are some more exercises you could try

Bent-over rows with your upper arms perpendicular to your body (i.e., armpit in 90 degree angle). There's a dumbbell exercise, but I have no idea what the proper name is.

Get a heart rate monitor.

I used to think running was boring, too. But I got a heart rate monitor, and now when I run, I keep track of my heart rate and have specific cycles of heart rate ranges that I have to keep track of while running. It keeps my brain occupied and makes things fun.

Also, run in neighborhoods or something. Running on a track is boring as shit. Running around a neighborhood, park, or in the country is much more fun.

Listen, faggot. If no one here lurked but just asked their simple, been-answered-over9000-times-already questions, then /fit/ would be filled with noob questions and would suck more than it does already.

Same fag. And fuck off. I'm not going to lurk an imageboard and wait for someone to ask my question for me when I could ask it myself and get a decent reply.
I read the first 4 pages, didn't see my answer, so I posted.
Now who's helping the community more? Your dumb ass wasting space on worthless insults, or me, who's created a thread that just might be helping those lurkers you love so much?

On the subject of lurking, I had a question that I'd rather not make a new thread for, since this is the "oblivious noob" thread.

How can I enhance my neck? I'm not a pencil-neck, but I'd like to have a thicker neck. Is it just hereditary anatomy? Larger ligaments? What?

Agree with this. Some of you waste more space and my time than any n00b ever will.

good luck OP and feel free to ask any more questions you have.

Will-do, I just wasn't sure if there was even a way to increase neck size. It doesn't seem like a particularly muscular area.

don't be afraid to start threads. if they're not wanted you'll be flamed or saged or any of the other standard faggotry acceptable if people have got a problem with it. to answer your question, yes, like anything to do with the body genetics is a big factor. the two muscles of interest to you would be the traps and the sternocleidomastoid. both of these can be effectively worked with a shrug probably. the link posted earlier http://exrx.ne seems a good one. have a look through that. there's a useful muscle reference which makes it easier and some of the recommendations are pretty interesting. i'd be hesitant to attempt them if i were new to lifting though
