after seeing so many topics on /f/it and other boards about where to start working out or lifting, my friend and I got a rough guide together to help people get going. It very lightly covers nutrition and then has a list at the bottom of a lot of body weight exercises to start building strength. check it out.

I do that one a lot, it's much harder than it looks.

After a minute of that most people will be begging for their mommy. Add a sharp spike underneath for more lulz.

Holy christ, nice. I was expecting this to be full of fail, but it is very well written with tons of information. This should be stickied, it covers almost all the basics.

Thank you! Knowing people appreciated it is what is making this worth all the time we put into it! :D

Surprisingly well written and helpful. Could dumb down the nutritional information a bit, like saying what kinds of food you should actually eat rather than what vitamins to look for, but all of the information was spot on

>First of all, how many sets and repetitions should you do? As a beginner three sets of ten repetitions are a good start. However, if you’re feeling fancy, try twelve or even fifteen. Don’t let us tell you how much to do! If you can do more, then do them!

you should go more in depth here, explaining that less reps = building and more reps = toning

all in all very impressive though

>Another new fad today is the use of pushup bars, or raised bars which can increase the range of mobility (which is excellent).

I was under the impression that letting your shoulders/arms go behind the plane of your body put stress on your shoulder/elbow joints and should be avoided?

I enjoyed reading all that, it's pretty inspiring. I tried a few of the exercises I've never done before and they felt really good.

Also, while reading it, I got up to get another coke from the fridge but decided on water instead.

:D
