Reminds me of the time guy stuck a dick through the plate hole, but I know what you're saying, I already found a few.
My question is, you keep mentioning "encouraging gains", "short time period" but what does that mean in actual numbers? A warmup + an hour of working out a day, X sets of 15 at 15lbs, how long till I can actually notice something? I think of myself as a fairly patient person in every aspect but working out, so hearing atleast a VERY rough estimate would be nice.
Hey, I get what you are saying, I might get around to it eventually, but as of now I'm not even considering it, a mix of self-conciousness, lazyness and poorfagness that is too strong to overcome right now.

Actually no, that was retarded, doing 15 reps of 15lbs for an hour sounds far fetched with my current state in mind.

Weeks to months. You'll notice small differences almost immediately. Depending on how much time you put in, and how disciplined you keep to it. Lifting 40 pounds (20 in each arm) in 5-7 different exercises, in 3 sets of 10 reps can be more demanding than it sounds.
No. You're not going to GOMAD or anything. But you will see more mass/definition in the arms quicker than you'd think and you'll find sooner than later the reps become easier and easier.
Ive found with fitness (everything really) in general people get discouraged very easily, and the concept of 'mastering' or 'maxing out' the usefulness of a beginner set like that is a very achievable, realistic goal for a starter.
You'll see even modest results almost immediately, nor will the set challenge you so much as to be daunting or discouraging. Its a safe/easy investment for a relatively low cost. Even if you find you 'outgrow' the set quickly, you can always sell it even for 50% of what you paid for it most likely.

Then you build a home gym. Swinging two milk jugs worth of weight around isn't gonna do shit for you, retard.

>I mean it this time. No you don't. Be honest with yourself. You're going to get tired of it and give it up by the end of the year. Just like every other "this time" shitlord.

Doing 3 sets of 10 reps with 20s sounds impossible, so I'm pretty sure I won't outgrow it anytime soon.
I found a set, it's sold as 2x10kg so that would be 2x22lbs, the bar is 4.5 and you can ofcourse adjust the plates up to the said 22. Not too expensive either.

>1) When it comes to lifting weights, will lifting 2kg/4.4 lbs weights even do anything? Nothing. >2) What foods that are affordable have high calories? EGGs. Buy fuckton of eggs. Whole chickens. Rice. Milk.
Levi Reed
Oh I eat eggs, best thing since sliced bread. Same story with milk. Chicken, yeah, why not, but rice?
Don't get me wrong, I have it every now and then, but is there anything about it that makes it, I don't know, more "valuable"?
Isaac Morales
I suppose my last word on it is just that you need to set and define some tangible goals. When you say you want to get in shape, what does that mean? Are you trying to get into lifting as a serious hobby in which you're constantly trying to improve what you can lift? Are you just looking to get a little bit of strength and have another outlet to cycling to burn calories and improve upper body look? Are you trying to lift for self-confidence reasons? What would it take for that to be achieved? These are the questions you need to answer before getting started as those answers dictate where you're going. Otherwise, you will end up buying a Fender before you even know how to play a power chord.
