A replacement to lifting weights

My man, you just asked for permission to train with kit you already have. You give yourself that permission.

And as for gym; do you think that the Spartans needed gyms? SPECOPS trains heavily with body weight. Even when they deploy; same deal. Get a kettlebell if you want.

Anyway, good luck!

Usually the answer would be, no, stop being a pussy and do something different so you can become different from the sad sack of tears you currently are.

But, in this case, I can see that you are special, so yeah, go ahead, skip that stuff, you go gurl!

Have you looked at the sidebar on r/marriedredpill. If you're on a mobile device, hit the 3 dots in the to right hand corner, then Community Info

For a couple of months, as long as you have access to a pull up bar, you can get some good workouts in.

However, get to a gym as soon as you can, because bodyweight fitness runs out of avenues for progressive overload quickly unless you plan on learning gymnastics.

Day 1 in MRP. The guys have the exercise plan wrong. I'm going to change that right away because lifting heavy is hard. Also I can see right away that there's too many books on the sidebar and I just need one of them. Should be giga Chad in about 18 more hours, then back to regular sex with the wife and I can focus on Pokémon again and ride off into the sunset. Sometimes I wish everything wasn't so easy, but that's the price to pay for being a genius.

No, you’re not allowed to.

1) asking Internet retards if you can exercise 2) DEERing in the question

Lift heavy weights frequently. Not sure why you can’t go to the gym but probably something something excuses.

Stay out of dead bedrooms. It’s a crab bucket.

Look up some bodyweight workouts. You can pick up some cheap kettle bells from just about any sports store.

You can still get pretty jacked but it just takes more discipline.

There is no substitute for lifting weights. Lifting is not optional.
"been together 10y, DB 6y" (source) "Yeah, it's been some short periods where we had it more frequently (once a week). We can't get any kids of our own. She's got the egg reserves of a 45yo so she's gonna hit menopause any month now and also got endometriosis. Intercourse got gradually more painful for her until she introduced me to anal which she appearantly loves more than regular piv so the pain isn't the problem.

If you've had a dead bedroom for 6 years and somewhere in there, she introduced you to anal, I have some news for you.

First off, stay the fuck away from /r/deadbedrooms. That sub is toxic as fuck full of whiny bitches. It's literally an Incel sub for those in relationships and marriages. Plus, your posts and comments there are cringy as fuck.

Second off, lifting heavy is a requirement, not a suggestion. Too many dumb fucks like you seem to want to skip the first few steps: STFU, lift heavy, and sidebar. If you can't even bother to put in the work on these three steps, you may is well fuck off.

Lastly, MRP is about building the MAN, not saving the relationship. If you are coming here for anything or anyone other than yourself, you are doing it wrong and off to a shit start. Stop fucking around and actually get your ass in a squat rack and lift like your life depends on it.

the deeper points about asking for permission stand/rule.

but yes. use the TRX to its fullest and get 2 kettle bells (24kg and 48kg) for dual then 1 arm swings and presses. TRX is good for rows, and flys and latpull-downs/pull-ups but the military/vertical press is missing, ketlebell clean and press and the swing for your posterior chain are helpful.

bonus: this kit can go with you on driving vacations and act as a deload week when you're back in the gym.

and yes, sidebar. NMMNG is a great start, but it's only a start. welcome.

Go outside.

Find a heavy object. Pick it up. Repeat.

Find a slightly less heavy object. Pick it up and press it over your head. Repeat.

Find a way.

There are ripped guys in plenty of 3rd world countries w no gym/AC/car who find a way. Are they better than you?

God_I_Love_Men · 2021-08-20T17:17:16+00:00

Buy 200 lbs of weight and Olympic adjustable dumbbells, throw in a pull up bar, table rows and pushups and you can lift just fine.

No gym membership is required to lift.

nantucketghost · 2021-08-20T13:32:55+00:00

Body weights and bands will kick your ass. Just get busy and keep at it. Look up "basement beast" if you want a program to follow.

ThenIJizzedInMyPants · 2021-08-20T18:35:59+00:00

Can I set up a routine using this until I can go to a real gym?

Why are you asking for permission? If that's all you have access to then yeah do it, what other alternative is there?

NeoTheJuanDJ · 2021-08-21T00:23:58+00:00

There is no exception to lifting weights. Stop being a weak little bitch, pull the sand out of your vagina and go fucking lifts some weights god dammit

JortsShorts · 2021-08-21T03:47:29+00:00

I agree with the consensus; but curiously, a lot of the people on mrp advocating lifting the hardest have early/intermediate beginner numbers themselves.

business_-_travel · 2021-08-21T22:27:59+00:00

None.

Lifting heavy is the way; the only way. Lifting heavy solves around 90% of your problems, along with reading through the books and posts on the sidebar. Don't be a lazy cunt and figure out a way to lift heavy and lift often.
