Started StrongLifts 2 weeks ago

[QuantumDummy]

After losing 90+ pounds years ago through calorie counting and no exercise I finally decided to start strength training. It's been going well so far and I like the simplicity of only having to do three exercises per workout. Only thing now is getting my diet in check; being jobless and having nothing to do means overeating for me.

At least you’ve found something that works well in your favor.

Do you have anything that works for you?

I use Optimum Nutrition whey protein. I'd like to switch to plant based ones but they're too expensive.

I think 3x5 programs (starting strength) are better, but that's just my opinion man.

Stronglifts is literally Starting Strength with more volume

3x5 3 days a week only gives you 9 sets per week. JFL if you think you can make gains doing that. You need at least 10, ideally around 20 per week for every muscle group if you want to grow.

Plant based crap is Jewish poison.

I started stronglifts about a month ago. I'm making good progress on it, just make sure you complete the exercises with correct form and range of motion.

I like to golf when it’s nice out.

Nice.

That's what I've been OCDing about, my form. I watch Athlean-X on YouTube, he's got some good info. I know I have a lot to improve on since this is literally the first time I'm doing these kinds of exercises.

Whey and gainer are useless things, just make sure you cunsume enough carbonohydrates and proteins through regular food. I'm going to gym for 3 months already and gained around 10kg. It's not hard if you eat enough.
