    My buddy went from zero experience to a 500lb squat natty in his 30s and started with this: Once you have the basics down you can get into far more complicated programming, nutrition, lifts...

    I have a veggie most everyday during a lunch or dinner, usually zucchini/squash, broccoli, green beans, asparagus is the go to’s. I’m sure I can up it some more to add in extra fiber for the week...

    Thank you! I’ll definitely dial up my leg routine some more! Side note…I got a bottle of anabolic xt to try out

    Add another set of lunges; your leg volume is lagging compared to upper body and legs respond so well to reps. Another 10 reps in your situation will be a useful challenge! You have made some...

    Oh yeah huge progress there bud! Keep at it and for sure if you can swing it get the bench and yeah you will be having a great setup.
  • Calebd91 replied to the thread Journey of a newbie lifter.
    Edited a before picture in post… Yes I’m going to drop to 10# on the lat raises an up the reps to keep form and control. I’ve got a lead on a bench an bar setup for cheap or free I’m going to...

    Yes just at home currently with dumbbell only. I may look at adding something like that after a few more weeks of establishment.

    you're doing this all at home with the db's you have available to you? if thats the case, you could throw in db cleans, db thrusters, db push press, db snatch. If you want to get crossfitty with...

    Following along, great job on cutting the weight off! On the lat raise honestly could drop to a 10# and up the reps.
  • Calebd91 replied to the thread Journey of a newbie lifter.
    Think that’s what I’m going to do tomorrow, I got a few new 10# plates that have the handles built in that I’ll try out, I’ll get the foundation an form back an go from there.

    Thank you for the advice, I will not make that big of a calorie jump. I wasn’t real sure how big of a jump was needed to see a change. So small adjustment there! Got it. As far as my exercise...

    Start of my actual workout log! I actually “started” on Aug 3rd initially with a full body dumbbell only routine found on the Hevy app that I use to track workouts. I ran that 2-3 days a week for...
