• Ask HN: Best books/courses to learn the theory behind strength training?

  To get started on the practical while researching the theory: https://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5/ For much more on the beginner stuff, "starting strength" by Mark Rippetoe. The author is, in my opinion, a bit biased towards athletes so he offers a few opinions as facts. But these are harmless early in training. After you've finished stronglifts 5x5 which will take a few months, buy "5/3/1" by Jim Wendler. ... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Hello. Can anyone help me?

• Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment

  For anyone looking to get started I highly recommend the StrongLifts program and the associated app, both free [1]. I neglected strength training for a long time because every time I tried to get started I would feel overwhelmed. Then I tried StrongLifts and loved the fact that it's just 5 exercises, but provides pretty much a full body strength workout. The guy who developed the program has put a ton of effort... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: Workout.lol – a web app to easily create a workout routine

  To be fair, Mehdi is clear that he didn’t invent the program. > The 5×5 workout is a strength and muscle building program that’s been around for over 60 years. > It’s not clear who invented the 5×5 workout. The first person to write about in the 1960s was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mentor, Reg Park. https://stronglifts.com/5x5/#Overview. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What's your #1 ADHD life hack?

  Not saying it works for everyone, but the system I have worked out for myself is strength training 3-5 days/week during my lunch break at work. I have an hour lunch, so I can usually work in about 30 min of exercise, and I eat at my desk after. I use fitbod to generate workouts for me. It's not perfect, but I can easily change the workout based on what I'm feeling. It also keeps track of your workouts and can post... Source: 10 months ago

• Fitness app review

  I've started using a new fitness app, Fitbod (https://fitbod.me/). I've only logged a couple workouts so far but am a pretty big fan of the app right away. My favorite thing is that I can set up multiple "gyms" in the app and define what each equipment has in it (my crappy station gym vs my decent home gym vs the local commercial gym I go to) and have it auto-generate workouts for me. It's smart enough to know... Source: 12 months ago

• Ottawa personal trainer/fitness coach

  Now I workout at home and I use Fitbod that’s almost like a virtual personal trainer. You could try the free trial while you find a trainer. Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you need a trainer when hitting the gym?

  I really liked FitBod. It's $79.99/year. You can select the equipment available to you, and the app will generate the relevant workouts, adapting over time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: People who strength train from home can you describe your journey?

  For what it’s worth, I’ll mention what works for me. I have no interest in any companies or products mentioned below other than using them and finding them useful. I’ve weight-trained for decades and switched up my routine during the pandemic. I have only a small room available at home for this, which I also use as an office and music studio. So, not a lot of space. I bought a pair of Bowflex SelectTech 552s... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
