Not a really big fan of lifting weights. Can’t I just run and do body weight exercises instead?

If you want the same results, then no. If you're getting the results you want why does it matter what we say?

I dont count macros but I'm currently losing weight and on keto. I pretty much just count my carbs. When I do start bulking I'm just gonna count my protein which is what worked for me before.

Counting macros is probably the best method but you can do just as good hitting your proteins and throwing in some greens

You can do whatever you want, personally though I couldn't live without the feeling of being strong. Also its almost like meditation feeling the muscles contract when lifting. I really just couldnt live without it. But you also wont feel the results if your diet isn't clean.

Lmao the shit you see on here sometimes. Nut up and get into the gym. Even if you start with something short like Stronglifts 5x5, you will build a great foundation for more complex programs in just a few months.

Bro also, you don’t want the easier route. Sometimes the easier route is better than the harder one, but it’s fucking rare. 99% of people with a sick physique lift heavy weights. Just fucking do it. You got it bro stop putting up mental barriers

Keep it simple man. I’ve heard this excuse 100 times. Lift heavy, eat enough, and Stay consistent. You’ll see change. Change doesn’t come after 3-4 weeks. 12 weeks I promise you’ll see a change if you push yourself every workout and lift heavy with your emphasis on compounds.

Very simple man. If you’re new to the game, don’t even worry about tracking macros just yet. It will turn you off Fitness. Just eat a lot of protein, lift heavy, get stronger. Results will come. The best things in life take time man.

Intermittent fasting + calisthenics is far easier and produces better results than counting macros + lifting iron
