This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Strong lifts is a popular lifting program that a lot of people start with - it's good even if you're an advanced lifter. Do 5 sets of 5 reps of whatever lift and increase it over the program duration

You just reminded me when I started I used 5x5 with https://stronglifts.com/app/

Then I moved to a gym with PT then finally just https://www.strong.app/ with full body workout 2x a week

Grats on your cake day btw, looks like we're both from the og reddit migration :)

Technically I was as well, but it took me a while to find Lemmy.

Thanks.

5x5 is a good program. I do CrossFit for the variety - I know it gets shit on but it gets me to the gym. I am more than likely undiagnosed ADHD, so the novel workouts hit the spot for me. The variety in consulting is why I also thrive in that sphere.

I've got strong legs, shoulders, and back, but I wish I had the build of your typically gym bro.
