I recommend “Convict Conditioning” by Paul Wade who was a guy who you can guess did time and developed a body weight routine to get fit. It is pretty challenging, and gives you a change from free weights if that is your work out, and gives you useful muscles. I found with weights that something was always sore or f~~~ed up, so although I could lift heavy I was always in pain. If you try this workout you can get strong with some unique exercises and get your head out of the how much can you bench mentality. Once you have worked your way up you may find your free weight lift strength is still there or even better, if you are really hung up on weights.

Lots of very challenging exercises so don’t let the idea of no weights fool you. And for gods sake don’t be working on muscles you think the bitches will like, get strong and fit for yourself.

I don’t really care for Wade’s dogma against non-bodyweight fitness and lifting. He talks about these athletes forging their bodies in prison because that’s all they have to do all day long, but that’s not all that realistic for the average person. He pretty much s~~~s on anything that isn’t bodyweight related so I take what he says with a grain of salt.

It all depends on what your goals are.

Calisthenics are a good base for transitioning into weightlifting later on as they definitely help to strengthen and condition the joints. Before I started barbell bench pressing again I took a couple months to go through the pushup progressions up to kneeling pushups, which I still do. My shoulders and elbows felt great when pressing. In the past it’s taken awhile for my shoulders and elbows to acclimate to the weight so they didn’t feel all that strong when first starting out.

I still do the lying straight leg raises the first bridge progression and assisted pullups (using the green jump stretch band) as some accessory work but have moved on to barbell squats and deadlifts for the lower body. I may give single legs squats a try later on but I’m more focused on getting my squat and deadlift technique perfected.

My main goal right now is shedding the flab and once I hit my goal body fat percentage I’ll be at a weight more conducive to progressing with CC.

Thanks for the tip.

Dont work out in gyms with skanks and their yoga pants and entitlement. work out in the outdoors, your basement, basically anywhere else because you can build strength externally and internally anywhere. All you need is yourself, a bit of advice from a bro, and your own determination.

I like to go at 9PM at night when the gyms are nearly empty. The morning a quick run uphill and to get some sunshine, and in the evening a hardcore 30 minutes to myself when all the equipment is virtually unused. Those poser gyms are out of control.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

It’s based on the big three compound lifts (bench press, barbell squat, deadlift). I have all the equipment in my garage so in that respect I’m fortunate. I’ve always hated public gyms for a variety of reasons. Bad music, too many people, half the people there are trying to hook up and end up just monopolizing equipment and killing the pace of your workout. I have a squat rack, several barbells and plenty of weight plates, kettlebells, etc., so I can do pretty much anything I want.

You might be interested in this site. It shows you how to diet and light weights. It’s a fasting site, it may not be your cup of tea. However the weight lifting routine is superb.

In Canada a lot of gyms will double bill you, and won’t get your money back. I’m in the process of buying weight set and a small squat rack since I have limited space in my apartment.

I train in one of those and I managed to go a whole year without seeing a single female. Good atmosphere, would reccomend it especially if you don’t have a training partner as it will build character.

I’ve been doing a low carb/ketogenic diet for a good ten years and it has worked out well, food has just tended to be a crutch to combat depression in the past. I’ve finally overcome that crutch and am losing weight consistently and looking better than ever.
