I don't like going to gym and the solution to this problem was bodyweight fitness. Growth is a little slower, than with lifting, but you are learning cool tricks like handstand. The program from reddit's /r/bodyweightfitness is a good start: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...
- pmoriarty 10y agoThe program you link to advises stretching before exercise. As others have pointed out elsewhere in this thread, that is dangerous and can lead to injury.
- monort 10y agoYou are probably thinking about static stretches. Can you link to evidence against dynamic stretches like in this program?
- sridca 10y agoI never liked going to gym and doing the scripted set of weight lifting. For me, compound exercises are the best. Lately I have been "greasing the groove" by doing low-rep pull-ups (and push-ups). You do it every day and there is no "training to failure." See https://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/greasing-the-groove-how-to-make-it-work-for-you https://breakingmuscle.com/strength-conditioning/greasing-th... The cute thing about bodyweight fitness is that you can do it anywhere without any special equipment.
- monort 10y agoI've got a tendonitis in my right elbow, when I tried greasing the groove for pull ups, and spent several months recovering. Be careful :) Any sign of pain in an elbow means your tendons need a rest.
- sridca 10y agoThanks. Do you know what caused your tendonitis when greasing the groove for pull ups? Improper form? Over-training?
- monort 10y agoI think over training, though the main problem was my ignorance - I ignored a mild pain in the elbow during last sets. One day I've got the pain that wasn't subsiding and that day I learned about tendonitis.
