I did overall good progress though, I have way more visible muscle and bulked around 13kg. I'm not following any social media persons, I started working out using Critical's prolewiki guide. I'm not yet doing squats and deadlifts because I want to go through some checkups first and I have flat feet. I know and apply the rest of the tips you've mentioned.

Yep I figured, thanks. At the moment I'm just increasing weight on my current exercises, seem to be doing okay

I have to research reps in reserve and dropsets myoreps etc I haven't heard of them.

I meant the amount of reps in a set (english terminology is really confusing) like 3x8 or something like that which I saw you didn't mention

Thanks again

Yeah I do that in around 1h30m. I started around June 2023. My new gym doesnt mark the weights which is annoying, it just marks them like level 1-13, I assume one weight is 5kg. I'm unsure about my body fat ratio, how can I calculate it?

For months I had to do use the assisted benvh simulators to get to a basic muscle level; when I started I was way too skinny, now I'm in the normal muscle range I think.

I was under the impression that I'm doing way less than before XD It takes me around 1h30m to complete it.

The "middle chest" is a device called that, my new gym doesnt have it though; was something like simulating a bench press but with weights and not an individual barbell.

I see you don't count the exercises in the set themselves, just work to failure, which is interesting, I usually did this for my last set only.

I know about the illiac lat pulldown but I'm not really using that zone of the gym too much to be honest. Thanks for the tips, I'll check them out!!

Hi comrades, a few months passed and I improved my workout, while in the past 2 weeks I wasn't as consistent as I would've liked I think I'm still doing good. I have yet to implement squats and the other ones cause I strained my knees too much, one of the reasons I removed the leg press; I heard its because of having flat feet?

leg curl 55kg / leg extension 3x8 ~~leg press 3x8 30kg~~ lat pulldown 3x8 40kg shoulderpress 3x8 30kg chestpress 3x8 25kg / inclinepress 3x8 25kg dumbell row curl 3x8 10kg dumbell row triceps exercise (no idea how its named) 3x8 15kg biceps curl barbell 20kg 3x8 / skull crushers 3x8 10kg ~~middle chest 5x8 12.5kg ~~smith machine mid row 3x8 35kg

The new gym I'm going at has different machines so I had to remove/replace some of the exercises. The lat pulldown one is especially harder now cause the machine is made for giants; and the shoulder press works at a different angle. It's cheaper and closer to me here, though

This seems like an universal recommendation hah, thanks a lot!

I'm not eating any supplements, getting my protein from hummus, nuts, eggs, etc. I usually do them pretty slow though. Yeah I definitely need more leg exercises. Thanks for the tips!

I go three times to the gym per week. I'm getting noticeable improvements lately, wondering if I can do any improvements. No splits at the moment.

Fitness & Nutrition (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Hi comrades

I want to start handling my nutrition and fitness better. I usually work out at home and can do pushups etc., I would say I'm quite underweight.

While I'm reading the guide by CriticalResist on Prolewiki, I decided to count my calories. I barely reach 1500 calories a day which at this point I'll go malnourished. I just feel full very quickly. I do not eat processed sugars and avoid sweets, and I'm basically vegan at this point.

I exercise too and can do push ups, squats etc with no problems whatsoever, though as expected I cannot build muscular mass, most likely because of my nutrition. I don't have the money to go to a gym so I want as much as possible to work out at home, I saw that calisthenics might be a good option? Though they seem unreliable for building muscle mass and strength. I want to put more weight but not fatty weight, which had happened to me in the past. I do eat healthy, but I eat way too less because I feel I just get full quickly. This might be due that in the past I was overweight and conditioned myself to not eat much, but now I'm basically starving myself.

How would I go about increasing my caloric intake while putting muscle mass (preferably at home)?
