Before may this year I had done no workout for the previous uhm… 7 years or so… Started lifting weights since I’ve always liked it and since I hate to run anything longer than 100 meters
And as usual when I do something I read up alot on it first so I’ll do it properly. So I spent a lot of time reading about bodybuilding/weightlifting. I’m too cheap to go to a gym and I already had some weights/dumbell/barbells at home so I’m doing all my training at home and it works very well too. I only do compound exercises so I don’t have to do that many different ones. My workout it split up so legs/abs/back on monday and arms/upper body on tuesday. And then repeat on thursday/friday.
One thing I’ve found is that it’s not necessary to do lots of exercise and sets. I do 1 or 2 sets for every excercise and I can increase the weight I use every week and still do the same amount of reps.
During the past 5 months I’ve gained about 5kg of muscle and lost about 3kg of fat though not at the same time… And I’ve gained lots of strength too. So if you need any advice about lifting weights you can ask me or stranger. Although I might be slow to answer since I don’t really come here any more. It’s moogle’s fault that I came here this time
