(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi NextGenUpdate,

I know for awhile my last few posts/threads haven't been too serious but here I need some help on my journey to start actually working out.

So I weigh 150 (lmao I know, too skinny) and I'm 18 and I have no idea where to start. Can someone give me a general outline on what I should do before I get a gym membership?

Thanks,

TBR

lol wot m8? 5'10 is average...

Without a gym membership you could do press ups and body weight squats and then progress to plyometric versions e.g. Press ups where you clap or squatting but jumping out of the squat

Easiest would be to buy some weights and do basic exercises like dumbbell curl, shoulder press and dumbbell press. I like the rep range 7-10 reps with 3 sets.

I could tell you the whole basic routine I did when I started if you're interested

Hey Jamie,

If you could PM me your beginner routine that'd be great. Thanks!

Chest
Dumbbell press - 3 sets of 7-10 reps
Incline dumbbell press 3 sets of 7-10 reps

Arms
Seated bicep curl tucking elbow into leg 3 sets of 7-10 reps each arm
21's easier to watch video for explanation
Reverse dumbbell press (palms facing towards your head) keep elbows in

Shoulders
Seated dumbbell press 3 sets of 7-10 reps
Lateral raises (arms slightly bent) 3 sets of 7-10 reps

Legs
Lunges (weights in either hand) 3 sets 5-7 reps each leg

I used to cycle to the gym so that's why I only did weights. I also did press ups when I was at home just seeing how many I could do.

If it's not clear just ask.

That's as clear as it gets, thanks!

Yeah I'm like 5'10/5'11
My girlfriend is like 5'9... (She's tall for a girl - I mean, out of all the girls I know)

I'm not the tallest guy I know but I'm taller or the same height as most people in my year at college.

Bulk up bro, then hit the gym hard.
