If you could go back in time, and give yourself some pointers as you were just starting to lift, what would tell yourself?

>Consistency and persistence are the most important variables in making it.

Don't bother because you're short.

Eat more.

Use weights instead of calisthenics.

Don't do so many sets. 8 sets three days a week is enough.

don't lift for women

This

She's not worth it, you are.

Eat less. You are not a genetic freak. You do not need that much protein.

5*5 only for the first 6 months.

Your arms take waaaaaaaay more than you think to grow. At minimum 3*10.

Hit both heads of the tricep.

Use dumbells more to help keep symmetry.

Fucking do cardio.

Fucking do rows.

>Don't bother with low reps
>Never listen to the internet

>it's not genetics
>you don't have to eat every single thing your stepmom gives you for dinner
>see if you can shave that mile down to less than 12 minutes

Don't let yourself get fat

I literally fucked around for 2 years reading and trying different splits when all I wanted to do was a bodypart-split, "buhu muh protean synthzuz", it's really the only style I enjoyed but I was told "not to do it", started doing it, enjoyed the fuck out of it, made great gains. So yeah, do what you like and be consistent, also I wish I put more energy into diet, actually counting calories instead of guessing.
