Seeking advice from a bodybuilder/athletic person.

[Huntsman]

Heya, all.

I decided to start working out again. I used to do so before but I didn't have enough patience to reach the results I wanted so I lost motivation and quit. I never really was athletic and since I was little I had problems when it came to sports. I ain't fat, but I aint fit either, I'm somewhere between medium and heavy, but I'm just a screw loose when it comes to sports.. I can play football quite well, but that's the only sport that actually works for me and I dont have much of an opportunity to play it apart from the sports lesson. I usually play it with my friends outside, but It's rainy as hell ATM, Lithuanian autumn...

Anyways, back to the point, I started working out and lifting a weight that I found in my basement which my brother has built himself. It is not very heavy, but it's really exhausting and I feel worn out after lifting it. While laying on my back I can lift it 100 times, 40 times in a standing position, 30 with each hand in a down-up way. The problem is, I'm no longer capable of doing more than 20 push ups somehow.. I used to do around 40 simple pushups, but now at 20 I feel exhausted, and the most annoying problem is pull ups... I just cant do any proper ones.. I don't even know how to start to be capable of doing so... I can do 3-4 simple ones, but the real ones - 0. It's just so annoying.. Can someone suggest for a someone who isnt athletic build how to become a physically capable person? A good program that doesn't require a lot of resources (Such as gym or more weights, because I live in province where such stuff isnt accessable).

manual labor if you can't access the gym. lift a lot of heavy shit you wouldn't have lifted when you were lazy

Obvious, I live in province and I live in a house, which means I have a lot of work to do, such as wood chucking, wood carrying and all other physical work, but it doesn't cut it.

what do you mean it doesn't cut it? are you looking for size or strength?

   'Been practising professional footbal for 9 years, my shape is very good. The only thing you have to do is practice, there is no other way. You can't just reach your goal by few exercices in few days. Have your own schedule of exercices an hour  or two daily and in around 3 months or so you should be done.

   Good luck!

a trainer is always the most effective way to start out with.

The problem is probably the ammount of reps you're doing. 100 reps is way too much if you're looking to get stronger because you're training your muscles for endurance rather than strength. It's no wonder your pushups have decreased. You should aim for more weight and less reps, probably around 8-12 reps at most.

Also make sure you eat right. You can lift as much weight as you want but unless you get the correct nutrition you won't get any muscle growth. I usually aim to consume 20g of protein every 2 hours while also stocking lots of carbs.

Daryk atsispaudimus, po 20 kiekviena ryta ir tik sekmadienio ryta daryk kiek tik eina. Toliau, kad lengviau save pakeltum daryk atsilenkimus. Tikiuosi zinai kaip reikia kvepuot. Jeigu ne - keldamasis iskvepi per burna, nusileisdamas ikvepi per nosi. Kvepavimas lb svarbu! Atsilenkimai tau pades padaryti prisitraukima. Atsilenkimu grafika gali pats susideliot. Dar, pastiprint peciams, pasiimk hantelius ir kilnok horizontaliai. Jau kai jausies pakankamai galintis daryti prisitraukimus - varyk ant turniko ir deliokis grafika su turniku. Zinoma nepamirsk atsilenkimu!

Aight. How many times should I lift them then?

If you plan on really going for it, you're gonna need heavier weights, preferably a gym. You'll need to train each muscle group once a week for 30-45 minutes. Each set with a weight which you can do 8-12 reps on.
