Don't over complicate it. Stay consistent be patient and you'll get there.
Beginners gains are huge. Your first year will see huge improvements. Especially in strength.
I recommend Allan Thrall on YouTube and AthleanX. Once you're past the beginners gains, Smolov is amazing at increasing strength. I've not found another program like it.
I lifted barbell only. Got my deadlift to 200kg, bench to 140kg, squat to 140kg.
It took about 8 years of lifting 1 to 3 times a week. Very casual and you could easily do much better than me.
Note I couldn't do a single push up in one of my gym classes at school.
- altdataseller 4y agoI have a barbell at home but no other fancy equipment, so doing squats with barbells seem almost impossible (and possibly risky). Any other alternatives I can do that exercise the same muscles with a barbell?
- xupybd 4y agoYou can do very light squats for high reps. Try sets of 25 at a weight you feel safe with. The first few months is all about learning form anyway.
