What weights should I start lifting with? gymcels help

[Hozay]

Gonna start to go to the gym monday (when it opens because of washington lockdown), skinny fat so I'm weak as fuck, also a beginner. I know I'm not gonna be able to lift crazy shit. Any advice?

 

[Cali Yuga]

literally any beginner program will get you noob gains if you do it consistently

 

[St. Wristcel]

Start with like a 75 bench, 100 squat, 15-20 for bicep curls, shit like thst.

 

[Baldingman1998]

The actual weight doesn't matter. First learn the proper form and mind muscle connection. After that progress with whatever weight you are currently using. It can be pussy weight or genetic freak weight doesn't matter. As long as you do 10-15 reps (last 5 or so reps should be very hard to finish) so basically do the maximum weight you can lift while maintaining high volume. Doesn't matter how much you lift but how much you look like you lift son. And if you care about strength bodybuilding will make you 2x-5x (not much in comparison to strength athletes) stronger over time but powerlifting is where strength comes in

300 lbs deadlift is minimum for beginners

that sounds complicated as fuck, but im just gonna copy what i see people doing on youtube with their movement

Yes, at least in my estimation. Good luck, it doesn’t hurt to start low. Who knows maybe you have superhuman strength.

It's not at all that basically means that you feel the muscle that you are using and that will help you grow more. For example instead of using 8 separate muscles to do a curl you will be able to focus on specific muscles more with your brain and their activation. With perfect form mind muscle connection is built

Then why you can do only 30 lbs

source?

I'm gonna feel insecure lifting low weight but fuck it, we all start somewhere

Didn't read but anything is good but the most efficient program for gains is push pull legs. Push pull 2x per week and legs once a week ( but can be hard for a beginner or if you are going all in and can't recover fast enough)

gonna go 3 times a week

 

[Baldingman1998]

gonna go 3 times a week

1Push (chest triceps sholders all 3 heads of sholder)
2Rest
3Pull (biceps back lats )
4Rest
5Legs ( + abs if you aren't completely dead or add abs to a different home workout or pull day)
6rest
7 rest.
Repeat

Which ever weights you can lift with good form

 

[Baldingman1998]

1Push (chest triceps sholders all 3 heads of sholder)
2Rest
3Pull (biceps back lats )
4Rest
5Legs ( + abs if you aren't completely dead or add abs to a different home workout or pull day)
6rest
7 rest.
Repeat

Actually I'm wrong as a beginner full body workouts are better for like a month to get into it so just do full body 3x a week

6rest
7 rest.
Repeat

so like this

 

[Stingray]

just start light and increase the weight until you can't lift it for many reps

Heavy weights

 

[burner]

Like someone said. I would focus on just the bar or lightest weight and do as many rep proper form. I just would count rep. I’d just focus on perfect form. Seeing if the muscle the excising is being hit by going until form failure. You should feel fatigue is the muscle group targeted for 2 mins rest then repeat.

Heavy weights

i'm not gonna start with heavy weights if i cant lift it lol

nobody at the gym cares what you lift as a beginner, you're probably too small to even see. first few work outs i'd do with just the bar to learn the form a little bit. Legit no reason to be insecure, most people started at the same spot as you.
