Why isn't there a general for newfaggots like me? I've been lifting for 2 months now. I know there's more of you out there that can't relate to the other generals yet.
I'm nowhere close to 1/2/3/4, but I'm told that we're all gonna make it.
So what have you other newfags been doing, and how's your progress? Personally I'm down 5lbs, (with a goal of dropping 20 lbs total) and with my noob gains, I'm up to 55lb dumbbell bench for 8x3 reps.
Been trying to get into swimming, and have started rowing 3000 meters after every workout.
So, how is your diet, and what lifts have you been doing? What are your PRs and goals?
I started lifting 3 months ago. I've been doing 531 beginner routine. I just finished my testing week and these are my numbers:
BP: 60 x 9 SQ: 77.5 x 6 DL: 105 x 8 OP: 40 x 5
I'm finally seeing decent progress with a pump and it feel amazing seeing newbie gains. Diet wise I try to eat 3kcal, but I think this is my major lacking point, I don't think I'm hitting them every day. My weight has gone from ~89kg to ~93kg. I've taken up jiu jitsu as cardio, because it's more fun than running. I've missed some training, I've messed up weight schedules a couple of times and there were days where I haven't completed my accessories. I believe progress is logarithmic, and missing out on 20% of work stall me in any significant way. I'm enjoying the shit out of it.
My goal is to continue bulking up slowly up to 105 / 110 and shredding down from next year. I realize that it's a marathon and I'm not in a hurry. I get laid even with extra weight on. I don't have any befores, but here are some unpumped flexed pics from 10 minutes ago.
For the future, I'm continuing with the program with my accessories being pull ups, facepulls, barbell shrugs, incline / decline bench, curls, tricept extentions, reverse hypers, abs, lunges. I usually do 2 exc per group.
I'm new. Been lifting for about two months now but haven't noticed any significant changes. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be seeing something by now?

What do you mean by significant? Seeing physical differences could be dampened if you're tall etc. Are you regularly increasing the weight of your lifts?

You know...muscles of any kind. I'm a skinny fuck. I expected some toning by now at least.
Landon Evans
Sure thing but I have no idea what I'm doing:
Day 1: Flat bench 8x3 Lat raises 12x2 Incline bench 8x3 Bent over row 8x3
Day 2 Hammer curl 8x3 Chest fly 10x3 OHP 8x3 Pullups failure x3 Dips to failure
Day 3 Squats 8x3 Leg press 8x3 Butterfly press 8x3 Bicep curls 8x3 Running
then I repeat, or do what I feel like. I'll get into more of a regimin once I feel like I'm not making good gains any more. I also do some calisthenics like pushups and stretches every day.

toning is a meme, it doesn't exist. a tone is a pump, which is blood saturating your muscles.

>consistency >progressive overload >eating enough protein That's all you have to know to get bigger and stronger. Also two months is nothing.
