I'm 29 and weak as fuck thanks to being a sedentary shut in. I've gotten much better over the last half year but I'm still weaker than even the average woman my age.
If I lift even very light 8 hurt for upto a week.
Should I workout through the pain? Even 5 pound hand weights put me out of commission that long.

Listen girl, and yes I'm old enough to call you 'girl' and make it stick, there's a fact that 18 year old dudes in this place don't want to hear let alone admit: You can only train at the level you can train at. If that means you have to do bodyweight exercises for a year before you're even ready to pick up some single-digit handweights, *then that's what you do* unless you want to be a complete loser, give up, and go back to sitting on the couch. You get what I'm saying?
if you have been working out for half a year but still weaker than the average female your diet, workout plan and workout habit are complete shit
get at least 1 gram of protein per pound of muscle you have
work out for around 30-45 min if your a beginner or 1-1.5 hours if youre experienced
make sure you are actually lifting to failure dont be a pussy
>make sure you are actually lifting to failure dont be a pussy
You have no idea how to train a totally sedentary person, someone who is so totally deconditioned. They should not 'lift to failure' every single time, that's a great way for someone like that to get an injury that will takes weeks to heal, if it heals properly at all.
are you eating enough protein? the important thing here is to gradually increase the frequency of your workouts. you ultimately want to be working out 3-4 times a week, basically every other day. right now you're at once every seven days, so make it your goal for July to make that once every five days. in August, push for once every three days. if you're telling the truth about how bad your physical condition is currently, stick with the low weights until you can use them 3 times a week. you're physically extremely frail, and trying to lift heavier right away will probably result in injury. but keep at it and over time your efforts will pay off.

>t.pussy nigga
I have been lifting for 2 years now from completely sedentary (never did any physical activity for 10+ years before lifting) and you won't be injured if you are using proper form
it is very important that every set you lift till you feel as though you can't maintain proper form or literally can't lift the weight any more
e.g. squats you should stop when you feel you form is getting sloppy
bicep curls you should stop when you can't lift the weight anymore
>can't even greentext properly
and you think you're qualified to give advice to anyone about anything whatsoever? LOL.
lol i trol u
You're an 18 year old male who was probably more physically active than this 29 year old female who describes herself as a """shut in""" and talks about how even 5 pound handweights completely annihilate her for days afterwards. Face it, you shouldn't be giving people like this advice, it's not a typical case, it's not some other 18 year old dude who wants to '''make it'''.
yeah i started lifting in the 18-20 range but 5 lb curls would do the same to me for days after as well, even had a time when a couple of girls laughed at me for struggling to curl 5 lbs and having to drop to 2.5 lbs to get within the 10-12 rep range point is DOMS goes away/gets reduced in time you just have to rest that body part for 1-2 days and workout through it

Okay, I get you, but you get me, right? There is no such thing really as '''one size fits all''' training, except for the very most basic things like what gym PTs have the retirees doing. When it comes right down to it all training is individualized past a very low point, which is why I said in my original comment to the OP: "you can only train at the level you can train at".
I've been around Jow Forums for quite some time and the most common mistake I see people make is trying to adhere to a 'one size fits all' standard, and in the real world that just doesn't work so well.
i just want to fuck the shit out of a shy anti-social autistic girl with a 10/10 body, is that too much to ask for?
Share plis
i feel you mate youre right that there is no one size fits all to working out but the fundamentals are the same e.g. eating right, proper form, lifting to failure
there are so many girls that go the the gym don't lift hard, rarely break a sweat, never see results and then wonder why. A girl i'm helping at the gym has been lifting for 2 years and couldn't even squat the bar properly or bench the bar at all its been 2 months since she started taking my advice and can now squat to proper depth for 8-10 reps and her dumbbell bench has increased by 5 lbs
i think its all too common for women to not meet their protein requirement or put enough effort in when lifting because i see it all the time which is where my advice is coming from
OP here, I fell asleep briefly.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement.
