For those who have always seen this image and advice and have been like, “huh?” Like i was for the longest time, it wasnt until i finally started going to the gym and learning squats did i realize how fulfilling and painless lifting with proper form is
If youre looking for a good starting point for learning squats at home, ive sent this video to a couple friends with positive results: https://youtu.be/k-0OYcoyASk
I think everyone should start off all exercises with only body weight and high reps. Even for stuff like bicep curls. You gotta cement proper form in muscle memory before you start adding weight. And when you do start adding weight, start with the smallest amount available to you.
I did this after I stopped working out for a few years following a shoulder surgery (I did all my rehab) and through this I’ve built up muscles I didn’t even know existed.
I do a circuit where each exercise has a goal of 100 reps, and good lord can you get a good burn with only a 2lb dumbbell. And my gains are actually noticeable compared to when I started lifting heavy. I’ve lost weight, but shirts that fit before are actually tighter.
