Weight Training For Beginners

[.Stripes.]

Good stuff, Keify. How do you define your progress?

[k31th]

strength increase, body fat percentage (how I look in the mirror comparatively), how I feel in general and just how it's been so routine for me to go to the gym 3 times a week that I go out of my way to find a gym, even when I'm on cruises interstate

What are your goals for the next 12 months? 

[k31th]

well, I was thinking about changing up my workouts. Only specific goal is to keep attending maybe the only thing I can think off of the top of my head that I'd like to change is less feeling of nausea towards the end of some of my workouts.

You should change it up.

 

Muscles need a minimum amount of stimulation to grow and any more than that is a waste (mostly). They should be stimulated, not annihilated. 

 

Linear periodization is key man.

 

Don't push yourself so hard and you'll feel better. More exercise doesn't mean more gains.

 

Regardless, keep going like you said. Worse case you'll slowly progress and eventually find a woman that you can stand and that'll put up with you
