How many times do I need to lift this thing to get fit?

Bumping, I actually want to figure this out. Need time to calculate.

He's talking about athletes you retard
People who can run and look swole

What's the 7 reps joke from?

12lbs is not enough for shit as a man

Their is a graph somewhere dying that no gains are made on on reps 8 or above, it's BS but made meme hood, I'm sure someone around here has it saved.

Almost done, just a quick bump for safety

OK, I will be using myself as an example since you have no stats given for me to work with. I am 6 feet and 0 inches tall, I weigh 230 pounds, and I am a 23 year old male. We are assuming that you would gradually progress in weight to maintain your gains as well as decent cardio, otherwise there’s no point to this calculation. My goal is to reach a healthy weight of 185 pounds, as that is my fit goal.

Say I started doing dumbbell exercises for all my areas as a full body workout for Quads, Glutes, Hamstrings, Calves, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Lower Back, and Abs, at 30 reps total divided among three sets per exercise. With 10 exercises that’s 300 reps a day, 3 times a week for 900 total reps.

Using the first link, I input my weight and the time I’m exercising to know how many calories I burned. I put in 1.5 hours of weight training (normal). Honestly, it’s more like 2 hours, but I figured if I roughly subtracted time from rests between sets, waiting for equipment to be free, and jacking guys off in the shower halfway through workout, it should roughly be 1.5 hours of workout. Then I calculated how many calories I lost by running at 5mph for a solid 30 minutes, no walking or stopping. I add those two totals together and times it by three for the number of times I go to the gym per week. Then I calculate those numbers again for each 5 pounds of body weight that I lose.

Using the second link, I calculate my Caloric Intake number for Fat Loss and subtract it from my Caloric Intake number for Maintenance and that is how much I lose per day. I take that number and multiply it by six for the six days a week I eat at fat loss. Day seven I consume at Maintenance for a cheat meal. Then I calculate those numbers again for each 5 pounds of body weight that I lose.

I add those weekly amounts of calories lost from diet and exercise together and divide it by 3500 to estimate how much weight I’m losing per week up to the tenth degree.

I will post my calculations in a subsequent post, but so far I’ve got it calculated to 25 weeks of lifting that dumbbell with proper diet and cardio, which means if I’m doing 900 reps per week, that means I will have to lift a dumbbell 22,500 times to get fit. I doubt it would make me swole and Veeky Forums, but I would be fit.
