i do a lot of long distance running but...
i dont want to have spaghetti arms anymore
gym goers do u have any resources u can point me to? like basics, diet tips, subreddits, youtubes, routines, general advice?
this goes for me and anyone else who is interested in lifting and is skinny :>
I'm washed since I've got injured but people there are always willing to help.
All I can say is go easy on your legs. Twice a week with moderate weight is enough even if your legs don't hurt the next day.
You can get rhabdo (just stay away from crossfit, your chances of getting it will increase a lot)
In my case, I got tendonitis on my left knee and haven't got it fixed yet
general advice is dont compare other peoples' achievements to your own, and get discouraged. any improvement you get is great,
good luck bro! glad to hear you start man
jeff nippard and sean nalewanyj are goated
routine = push pull legs are probably the most common but i've seen a lot of upper lower and upper lower push pull legs
what you do in the gym depends on the kind of goals you want to achieve though so there's no real blanket advice i can give you besides: stay consistent, eat well, and sleep well
If can go per week:
2/3 days full body
4 days upper lower
5 days push pull legs upper lower
6 days push pull legs
7 days don't
Keep high intensity and low volume
Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Shoulder
Friday - Arms(Bicep & Tricep)
Saturday - Legs
As you are just starting work every muscle individually like this atleast for 3-4 months.
As said by archtype #9 follow Jeff Nippard he does most effective and efficient beginner friendly exercises.
Also friendly advice, during the 1st month you would feel some amount of fatigue depending on your natural strength and genetics. Also never get discouraged by seeing others remember they were you at some point of time.
Hope you be sucessful and most importantly enjoy your journey brother.
As for Diet I was really fat like 101kg(222lbs) amount of fat and I got leaner so I wont be able to give you any personal advice on diet but you can check out r/bodybuilding and r/gainit
