Connor Davies Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well, obviously you should purchase Foundation 1 or the GB starter pack, but you mentioned money not being an option so...

Edit: Uhh, but try not to workout on anything made out of PVC. It's not designed to be load bearing, and will eventually shatter while you're supported on it. You can get some pretty serious hand injuries from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Burnham Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 PVC paralletes are fine. I wouldn't build full scale pbars out of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't really need them, although they're nice to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smc1118 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 quick question when your in pain from the work out do you continue to work out the next day or should you rest and let your muscles repair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Ravn Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 quick question when your in pain from the work out do you continue to work out the next day or should you rest and let your muscles repair Pain in joints, tendons or other connective tissue is bad, meaning that rest is required, perhaps even meaning that you've acquired an injury - Sometimes a lot of rest, depending on how bad the pain is. If you have soreness in the muscles (DOMS), it's ok to train, although you may get better gains waiting out the DOMS. it usually peaks ~48 hours post-exercise. Training the same exercise twice a week seems to work well for many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Davies Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 also how long and how days in a week should I workout for to see of feel any results oh and thank you allGenerally training upper body twice a week and lower body twice a week is good, but if you're a total beginner you can get away with full body 3 times a week. Sessions shouldn't last much longer than an hour. I find I make the best progress when I focus my energy on 2 or 3 exercises for each movement pattern (push/pull/hip extension/hip flexion/squat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
