people that work out/supplements??

Yeah, supplement purchases - fine. But, their forum is like the Days of Our Lives for bodybuilders. I don't prefer the never-ending drama (and stoopid kids).

Better list.

I've only gotten 225 for 11 on incline BB press. But, it sure does feel manly. More manly than slamming 225 on BB rows (good reps, not the half-*** shrugs/rows people do).

Ahhh, yes. I used to be a cost-cuttin SOB, too. But, after thousands of $ spent on supplements over the years, I've come to realize my money is best spent towards customer service than cheapest price.

Some places, you get both... cheap prices and amazing customer service.

I'm ignoring most of the supplement stuff. This is what I was mainly looking for though

V V

For 99% of beginners, I can recommend a simple full body workout, 3 day per week, 45 min. per day routine that will get results (assuming all other factors are good to go... rest, nutrition, etc.).
People make it too complicated too early. Don't go pick up a flex magazine and start following those routines.

(BB = barbell)

BB squat (or leg press)

BB row (or pullups)

BB bench press (or dips)

BB overhead/military press

Calf raises

^ would work well.

Anything else to add to this? Like what exactly these exercises are. I have a pretty good idea of what most of them are, but it's not like I was ever taught proper technique.

hahaha Just the thought of that makes me want to start a "What's the dumbest shit you've seen in the gym" thread... but this isn't the proper forum (plus there are thousands of those threads around elsewhere... cause 90% of the people who workout do it like retards).
