@ilovemyfather I’m in the Geoff Neupert / early morning quick routine camp. Kettlebells have been a life saver since having a kid. If I can, I squeeze in a barbell session at the gym. You can get a decent workout done in 30 minutes. If you can repeat that five days a week for years…. Not...

@godisworking101 That looks like the body builder profile Marty Gallagher write’s about in The Purposeful Primitive. Great book. If it’s what you want to do… great. Most of my workouts are 45 minutes. I run through Progressive Pulls in about that time (2 sets of overhead squat to warm up, 3-4...

@ilovegod777 I recommend Marty Gallagher’s The Purposeful Primitive. It’s a book, and Gallagher is a proper author, lifter, and coach, so everything is laid out in a cohesive manner. He covers resistance training, cardio, diet, and some mental game. It’s also a pretty entertaining read. That’s...

@artlicbunny The Giant 2 has you jump into higher rep sets, but I get the feeling that most folks on this sub choose to do the 12 week program. That makes sense to me. Before the adjustable comp bells came out, most folks only had a few weights. I think that the first time I ran The Giant with...

@georgieq I really liked the GZCLP. The vanilla barebones template is more than fine for a 45-60 minute workout. To OP, you can add whatever pump work you want into the T3 categories. For single leg, single arm stuff, maybe do 3x8 just to make the amount of time it takes more reasonable.

@qwertqw Maybe switch to something like the Dan Martin Program Minimum or an Easy Strength template when you’re ramping up your running. Dan Martin is really just to stay in the habit of “weight training.”

@richard1_46 Good luck with it bro. That’s such chill music for a channel called Hells Bells.

@rhenry I think that you could add pull-ups into DFW and do it for 35-40 minutes. If I had a pull up bar at home, that would be my first plan. That and The Giant with pull ups. There’s no reason not to press three days a week unless you’re crunched for time. Even then, I’d consider 2x5 or something.

@mattellis 1 take progress pictures. 2 try to weigh yourself a few times a week. 3 eat to gain weight. That said, I really like adding in chins, arm work, and lateral raises. I’ve done it on tons of Geoff’s programs. IMO, you can bang 100 swings outs in five to ten minutes. Squats are fine...

@aondia At your size, you’ll probably hit that standard with the 24s in less than a year. Maybe try and run through the Right of Passage progression with the 16kg you have. It’s a total of 75 reps per arm and 75 pull-ups (that’s a popular variation) in one session. Once you have adjustable...

@lwoods You gotta start somewhere. It’s fine to do tons of singles. I learned the snatch with dumbbells from the floor. Overhead carry the thing too if you feel like your shoulders need more burn with it.

@lwoods You’re good bro. What you said is fine, working singles doubles and triples with the 28 via the outer limits. You could just run DFW twice, or run week 1/2 twice. 24 to 28 is more than doable.

@lostandfound123 It sounds like you’re all set. 1) since you have barbells and a trap bar, consider some kind of easy deadlift and squat progression like 5/3/1 or GZCL. Maybe OHP as well. 2) sprinkle in accessory lifts with kettlebells and dumbbells 3) mobility - I like the hindu squat...

@yangum My wife had no problem doing cleans and push presses with a 10 and 12kg dumbbell after going to the gym together on and off for a month. She was probably only 54kg at the time. I don’t think she could press the 16kg now though. I’m trying to get her back on it. Last week she had no...

@salvia123 The only thing I would be concerned about is how long the workouts take. Adding 50-100 swings at the beginning or end of a session is more than manageable. Consistently doing 300-400 swings sounds like a chore. I’d think about what your fitness goals are and maybe not be afraid to put...

@yangum Doing grease the groove works well with all of the calisthenics you plan to do. It just depends on your situation. For me, I usually get the same number of sets doing grease the groove as I do in a 30-45 minute workout. It does shine with exercises where a solid 5-10 minutes of recovery...

@whitney5388 Glad to hear it. It goes both ways. I mentioned it to you, then had the chance to add in some arm work at the end of my gym sessions. Decided to just to the EDT since it was fresh in my mind.

@johnnyboy1998 If you don’t eat for size, you won’t put on a lot of size. Both are nice things to work on. Personally, I rarely grind reps on pull-ups and overhead press because if I want to move with snap, I should train with snap. Same goes with my weighted pull-ups. I’m up to 35kg for a...

@stringplayer Yes

@applekrate Great work.
