t-thanks...

I always eat chipotle before going into my gym, but that's because it's RIGHT next to it.

I'm doing starting strength right now with some accessory excericizes just because.

I wish I could

conveniently my mma gym offers these wrestling classes once a week
i really started going to them routinely a month ago but pretty much yeah I'll be going all year

Strength right now. Will change after 6ish months of doing this, once I can lift a bit heavier

[Hiiro326]

Oh, hey. 30 minutes in the gym is normal, right?

Right now I'm doing
Monday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench press / Press (Alternating)
Chin-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps

Wednesday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Press / Bench Press (Alternating)
1x5 Deadlift

Friday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press / Press (Alternating)
Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps

[Zloff]

I used to spend 45 minutes in the gym, but I did 6 different lifts

Try to alternate what muscles you work so you can gain faster and keep your muscles balanced; add a variety of different lifts. I've gained a crazy 8 pounds in 3 weeks(with the help of meat and protein drinks) through doing this during my first month of lifting:

Monday: lower body
Tuesday: upper body
Wednesday: cardio/flexibility/agility training (don't need the gym for this)
Thursday: upper
Friday: lower

as for adding weight and how often, I myself added on 5 pounds every week or two to my bench lifts and lat pulldowns, but it's really just a matter of how much you're actually progressing and what feels right to you

[AromaniaFTW]

damn zloff...
your fingernails are perfect!

You have a good basic beginner program and I would encourage you to continue this actually

You learn great basic exercises

And I honestly dont see you doing 3 x 15 chin ups
