I am a weak as shit 18y/o skinny fat (pic related) who just started a month ago, and wants to mainly lose fat, get abs and build some nice chest + arms
Monday, Wednesday and Friday are lifting. Tues and thurs are cardio, (30min running sessions) Rear lat pulldowns 4 sets of 10, 45kg Bench press 4 sets of 10, 20kg overhead press 4 sets of 10, 2x 5kg dumbells rear chest fly 4 sets of 10, 2x 5kg dumbells Split Squats 4 x 15 back extensions 4 x 15 sit ups 3 x 15 leg raise 3 x 15
What do you think Jow Forums? good start for a complete beginner? Should I add or remove any?
just to be clear pic in op isnt me, just have similar body
Nathaniel Russell
I think that you should work on getting progressively stronger on compound lifts until you're not such a weak cunt. At least squat and bench your own weight in plates for 5+ reps before moving on to something else.
Alexander Stewart
STOP WRITING YOUR OWN “PROGRAMS” YOU DYEL FUCKING SHITS I SWEAR TO GOD

>rear chest fly >rear lat pulldowns

Seems like you’d get better results just running 6 days a week and eating a calorie deficit
Christopher Rivera

What is a rear chest fly?
Jonathan Bell
guess its just a chest fly

I consulted a coach at AIS who trained with olympians and he gave me this program
Dominic Diaz
Your program is shit. Look up 3 day split on google and do it. Don’t do full body every single time at gym
Eli Rodriguez
Just curious, but why is that?
Nolan Carter
Olympic trainers are specialized for the sport which they train. This Olympic trainer did what exactly? Are you trying to become a skier?

Like a reverse fly for shoulders?
Thomas Stewart
Probably just the first exercises he thought of after fondling op in the locker room
Justin Baker
Just do pull ups and bench you phaggot
>rear lat pulldownzzzz The less movement on unnatural planes (especially in positions of shoulder impingement) the better, at least til you get to a stage where you look less like a dyel
>rear chest flies What the fuck cunt, explain
Oliver Hernandez
To be specific we are talking sports scientist, not exclusive olympic coach.

Isaac Bennett
didnt think so faggot
Caleb Gonzalez
The dinosaur.
Jayden Gonzalez
Im currently too fucking weak for pull ups, and as pathetic as that is thats why im doing lat pull downs. What would you recommend for benching and how often
Lucas Sanders
Kek you are overhead pressing 10 pounds and talking about me taking it up the ass. You are 12 year old girl weak, and have a terrible workout routine. Please tell me you are dirt poor too
Matthew Price
thanks for the advice, will look into it.

Andrew Barnes
Elaborate please, I genuinely dont know what you mean by ICF or TDEE + 500
Wyatt Bennett
Also >egolifting
Isaiah Walker
>Elaborate please, I genuinely dont know what you mean by ICF or TDEE + 500 Have you heard of the internet?
Noah Hall
Nope
Brandon Cooper
There is a difference in ego lifting and being that weak as a 18year old male. Has to be low t
Jace Nguyen
>no squats >no deadlifts or clean-pulls It’s trash. Just do SS
David Hill
>room temp iq mouthbreather thinks he understand testosterone because of weak shitposts honestly just fuck up cunt, we get it, you dream of being molested.
Lucas Bailey
Doing some simple split let’s your muscles get taxed hard and gives them time to recover. Working out full body every time either means your muscles aren’t fully recovered or they aren’t being taxed hard enough.
In all honesty tho if doing that program keeps you in the gym just do it. You being in the gym is the most important thing. Getting a better program doesn’t mean anything if you quit in 2 weeks. You can always change it later
Gavin Thompson
thanks for a genuine response user, appreciate it.
Jackson Torres
>all these DYELs bitching and moaning at OP instead of giving actual advice. Pic related.
Anyways OP, your routine looks fine. I would personally drop chest flys and split squats and do normal squats in a squat rack. After awhile once you really start getting in the groove of things, switch up your routine by adding deadlifts, pull ups, and even leg press. Don’t shy away from machines, they’re useful for shaping yourself into a sexy cunt. Cardio can just be treadmill and stairs machine or you know, just go outside and run. If you’re gym has a vertical ladder machine, that’s even better. Keep weights at a controllable level until you’re ready to move on to more. I hope this helps and keep your chin up. You’re gonna make it.
Atleast he’s bench pressing you faggot. He’s already better 80% of the population
David Stewart
Do GSLP or ss or sl5x5
Mason Wood
I know, i respect that and i hope he keeps it up.
Jayden Phillips
You are such a white knight faggot, 20kg bench would be beaten by the majority of untrained males, and by the majority of trained females.
Jaxson Bailey
Monday Squat 3 sets of 5 Bench press 3 sets of 5 Deadlift 1 set of 5
Wednesday Squat 3 sets of 5 Overhead press 3 sets of 5 Deadlift 1 set of 5
Friday Squat 3 sets of 5 Bench press 3 sets of 5 Deadlift 1 set of 5
Monday Squat 3 sets of 5 Overhead press 3 sets of 5 Deadlift 1 set of 5
And so on.
Every new gym session you add 15 lbs to deadlifts, 10 lbs to squats, 5 lbs to bench press and 5 lbs to overhead press. If you're not able to complete the 5 sets exactly as programmed than go back to previous weight until you manage it.
Austin Hughes
Sorry, i meant complete the 3 sets of 5 reps
Jeremiah Williams
Or 1 set of 5 reps with the Deadlift. This will give you the strength you will need to do whatever workout you want later on
Ethan Bailey
op don't do this, it's just a shitty meme and people who do it look like shit and aren't much stronger than people with normal routines.

>SS+GOMAD But in all seriousness you'd be better off eating a caloric defecit and cardo to ditch the puppyfat then move up to about 2600-2700 calories (depending on intensity) while doing basic calisthenics: push ups, planks etc.

If by >fine for beginners you mean >will produce better gains than doing nothing Then yes it’s “fine”, because a total novice could make gains doing literally anything. But as actual lifting programs go its fucking garbage
Charles White
Why don't you do bizeps curls?
Levi Gonzalez
Broscience. The post.
Full body workouts are GOAT idiot. Low volume high frequency is literally the most effective way to build strength.
Justin Gray
keked a little
Eli Adams
Holy fuck, Thank you bros, I appreciate you coming by and sorting out the shitposts
Aiden James
My bench press is so low because I used to use a smith machine with about 40kgs not including bar until i was informed that smith machine is shit, and now I am just getting used to the stabilization of free weights. I shouldve mentioned this earlier as i looked like a mad faggot
Gabriel Taylor
Thanks so much for the encouragement man, this thread was a trainwreck of gatekeeping shitposters and im glad you real fitizens sorted these fuckers out. My bench is so low because of my previous smith machine experience, im doing the cardio treadmill and i was afraid to do deadlifts because I thought i had a bad back but i saw a physio and they told me it was just back fatigue due to growth spurts. I will be getting on to pull ups as soon i build up to it through lat pulldowns, (unless im wrong here idk) Im determined to keep going, Thanks for the encouragement, really appreciate it.
Benjamin Garcia
No, don't do SS. Do StrongLifts + Arms program. Its more balanced and the app tells you exactly what to do, very nooby friendly.
I shouldve been clearer in my posts, my 20kg bench has been the first week with free weights learning stabilization, for the past month i was doing 40kg without counting bar, its certainly not a boast but should be mentioned.
Elijah Moore
Based
William Phillips
Good thing you stopped using the smith machine, it will fuck your shoulder up really bad.
Also, when you say 20 kg do you mean only the bar? Or ten on each side? If you are only using the bar, put 2.5 kg on each side, it will be easier than just the bar because it's easier to control
Asher White
For the last week Ive been doing 10 either side plus a lightweight bar just to get used to the stabilization. Tomorrow (Monday) i will up my game and add more because ive gotten used to the free weights and have learnt to control it. Its such a weird change from the smith machine but im glad i did it.
Juan Rogers
Just add curls and chins to SS, the extra volume is unnecessary imo. Still a decent option though.
Benjamin James
Are you writing everything you do down?
Nolan Johnson
No, ive just been recalling it for this post. I assume its a good idea to keep it all written down?
Adrian Rogers
Absolutely. I used to go by memory alone but once I started writing my workouts down I saw the biggest gains. Weight, reps and thoughts on form should all be on paper. I wish that I knew tracking progression was so important from the start.
