Athlean-x and Alan Thrall are good channels.

So many youtubers have vids on this. Basically diet and gym. I lift everyday, but im getting bigger not smaller. You need to probably do something like keto diet, low carbs

Yes you should lift but your main objective is to eat at a caloric deficit. Eat less and go to the gym and you'll see results.

MrCarepig · 2020-01-02T04:09:16+00:00

Eat 500 less calories you eat right now

You need to get your diet in check. You need a calorie deficit to lose weight. Easy way is to start tracking your calories and apps like MyFitnessPal work great for this.

If your just stating weight lifting apps like Fitbod can help create a routine and it has little videos/charts showing how to do each exercise.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) and a clean, healthy diet are most important for getting a lean shredded physique.

Bro do you even lift?

Jeff Cavaliere Athlean X on YouTube is a huge resource. I started lifting with one of his early programs and you’d am honestly learn just about everything from him. Dude posts all sorts of fitness and nutrition content on YouTube for free. I’d highly encourage you to sit down and set your goals, start watching his content, and formulate your plan.

Just eat less than your body needs to survive, your body will take energy from your fat reserves to keep itself alive. That’s how it works. Working out means your body is requiring a lot of energy to move, and then on top of that you aren’t even eating enough energy to just make it through the day so your body just eats up your fat as energy to be able to allow you to workout and survive.

But don’t eat too little, because then your body eats the muscle in emergency mode because it thinks it’s in a survival situation and then you lose muscle with the fat. So you eat protein, so your body can repair the muscle it breaks down to eat as energy. That way you maintain the same amount of muscle, but lose fat.

You can’t gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, you might get a little stronger but for the most part you probably won’t get much bigger if you are losing fat. Weird shit happens to people who have never worked out before so it might happen for you, but that’s not normal and it won’t continue to happen if it does happen. It’s called “noob gains” in the bodybuilding community.

I learned everything I know from YouTube channels. I do calisthenics which is body weight training, push-ups , pull-ups, dips, things like that, but weight training is a good method too if that’s more your style.

Skoo_Yoo · 2020-01-02T13:16:21+00:00

I looked at a pixture of a set of weights once, needed to rest for a few days. Brains > Mad gains

I suggest reading through this site's articles. They're a DIY tool to create your own workouts, find out why to build a work out a specific way, explores pros and cons for different exercises. It's basically a short weightlifting for dummies site.

pavlikmmm · 2020-01-02T18:29:04+00:00

Sorry mate, but if you want to loose weight you need running/cicling/crossfit basicly cardio.

If you will weigthlift you wont loose much, maybe even get some extra as your muscles will get SWOLEN!

But anyway dont be shy go and do sports they are all good for your health, self improvement and sence of self worth.

CARDIO AND KETO ARE OPTIONAL

ITS ALL IN CALORIES

I’ve been lifting for a year, I still consider myself a noob. However, have been dieting for two years and have the exact same goal. Most of the guys I know who have a six pack are also the guys who started lifting at low body fat, lifting heavy, and bulking.

For you, I suggest you find what weight your goal is and get to it with a small calorie deficit, like 50 calories, the slower you go the less muscle you lose. When you’re all set with your cut then perform a bulk of a 500 or more calorie surplus and lift heavy weights. Try your hardest to be consistent, I usually do 2-6 workouts 6 days a week and make sure they tucker me out with the goal of increasing weights on my lifts.

God bless you, brother, hope you get to your goal.

Brosciencelife is the only channel I watch before gym sessions. Funny stuff

CampFollower8937 · 2020-01-02T05:35:35+00:00

Any form of exercise is an inefficient form of weight loss. Your main goal should be eating less.

SawsRUs · 2020-01-02T07:53:45+00:00

If you have the willpower, eating less is the best way to go. I also recommend doing 1 hour of cardio every day if you have the time. It worked for me, but I slacked when I got busy

MGMOWNow1978 · 2020-01-02T09:34:10+00:00

To lose weight calories in vs calories out. Eat 500 calories less than you need and you will lose 1lb a week.

If you are looking to gain some muscle as well make sure you get adequate protein.

Go to r/fitness and pick a plan and stick to it - NSuns is popular.

It's all about consistency, dont sweat the details. Weigh yourself weekly, if you didn't lose weight cut calories back a little more. If you haven't lifted before you can see a big change by the end of 2020.

Broseph_Broestar · 2020-01-02T12:00:51+00:00

It's awesome that you want to start lifting. I caution you not to burn yourself out while you're a newbie.

I'll parrot Alan Thrall's advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUUIfUR7qOg

In the beginning, don't worry about weights, routines or exercise variations. Your first priority should be to get to the gym regularly. Make it a habit. Whenever you lift, start with baby weights and focus fully on proper form. In the beginning, you'll look and feel like a newborn giraffe struggling with basic movements. That's okay. Your central nervous system needs to LEARN to feel each muscle and to control it. Give yourself time for this process. I've been lifting three times a week for 1,5 years and I still sometimes get sudden form epiphanies.

Absolutely practice KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. The simpler your routine, the less chance of screwing up while learning it. Try going for compound moves, that is, moves that don't isolate a single muscle, because especially newbies need a lot of bang for very little buck. Chinups < bicep curls.

In the gym, you'll get unsolicited advice. I usually ignore it, because the few times I listened to the advice from some beast, I immediately hurt myself. I recommend not to listen to random gym bros.

Online, I usually look at AthleanX, Untamed strength and others for form cues. AthleanX especially has great tips for nutrition.

NathanHollister · 2020-01-02T03:44:59+00:00

Yes, I lift.

I haven't lost weight by lifting, because weight is lost by diet. If you're fat, diet. Eat under 20 grams of carb a day, and the weight will literally fall off your body. Look up the Atkins diet. Don't listen to the press, Atkins works. Atkins is all you need for weight loss. Also when you're done, the weight stays off.
