New to lifting weights.
Is lifting till I'm feeling a burn then feel like throwing up then stopping a good way to start.
I can only do like half a set of 4 before I tap out and I physically can't lift.

I recommend the strong lifts 5x5 that focuses more on the compounds.
And if you're not strong and looking better after 2 days, use drugs
@Mr_NutterButter what are you doing in the gym now? Any metrics or program?
Also progressive overload
No need to go full ham when you have no clue what you are doing
@wizardmanperson I'm just looking to make the front of my arms a little bigger so I started doing hammer and reverse curls. And I was recommended to do 15 reps in a set of 4 I was able to do around 2 and a half so almost 3 sets.
And other context I've never lifted before so my arms are weak as shit.
Can't even do 5 pushups.
I tap out at 3 but can force my body to do 4 with pure will power
I would just caution you on that approach. A aesthetical body is a symmetric one. There's too many guys who work only arms and end up looking buff paraplegics.
Compounds are great for general strength and symmetry.

@wizardmanperson Gotcha thanks for the advice. I'm also doing leg's tbh way more then my arms because I enjoy it more then lifting.
I only just started lifting to make my body more symmetrical funny enough. Also should state I'm not going to a gym I been buying equipment to work out at home. So far I have 4 dumbbells, Resistance bands, a treadmill & ab roller.
Been meaning to get more stuff but I've been doing mainly exercise that doesn't require much equipment.
Find a door frame, stand a little less than arms length away from it, put a hand on each side at chest height, then slowly lower yourself towards the frame and push off for a lighter pushup that will work a lot of the smaller muscles in your body first.
Do the same in reverse for rows for your back muscles. - stand in the door frame, grab each side with your hands facing outward and slowly fall backwards then pull yourself upright.
While walking on the treadmill, slowly go through a lot of the motions for lifts you want to do without weight. That gets your body more used to the motions under a sharp increase in blood flow and can make you feel less prone to passing out or throwing up under strain.
@jobanab Smart I'll have to try it.
I miss having more space, but those do the trick to keep you in shape if you're consistent.
I definitely recommend you getting a pullup bar, but your setup is good enough. Have a look at calisthenics as well, those can help a lot in our situation./fit/ has some threads from time to time about homegyms if you want ideas of what else to get or changes in your routine.
Also, very important if you want to get mass, regulate your sleep and make sure you have enough protein and nutritious food.
@Mr_NutterButter bruh I commented the best way to do it and then you just go and delete the post and repost the same shit again tf
@beardalaxy Skill issue. plus I saw it
@Mr_NutterButter
Depends on your will.
But, most people will tell you, that you should go only 70% there, but repeat a few times, especially do the last repetition till failure.
Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do NOT get hurt ego lifting. You're holding 10s of kg on a muscule, that you're trying to fail. So, Don get surprised, when they do fail, and be ready to make that fail safe.
@LukeAlmighty I did them until my arms gave up and dropped the dumbbells from the exhaustion.
Breathing you can control to get good, consciously and over time subconsciously.
The stomach muscles being too cramped (not muscle cramp, but just using them too strongly) from trying to hold proper posture, fixable with either proper posture so that you dont need to use them, and train them as well properly and slowly. Stomach muscle issues SHOULD resolve automatically over time as well, but conscious training may be required should you not desire to feel like vomiting. Cardio/core training combinations should help with that, if you reach a desired outcome (such as "please dont feel like vomiting after training"), then you can stop the cardio/core p much.
and the usual: be well hydrated before and after training, dont have a fresh recent LARGE portion of food in your stomach before starting exercise, deep breaths between each exercise (and pauses between exercises).
If your gut becomes oxygen deprived (either lack of blood flow from muscles being too tense, or poor breathing and circulation), it is always guaranteed to feel nauseous. Everything i mentioned on its own can cause poor oxygenation of the gut area and be enough to give nausea. If there are multiple problems simultaneously present, it becomes worse nausea. Each issue mentioned has a in-depth or simple solution.
@lebronjames75 Make sense. I've always had a weak stomach/ when I was a kid and loved to run I'd always be taken out because my stomach would give out and cause me pain.
@LukeAlmighty That's the goal. Enough to lift a girl up look impressive and lift a few heavy things to be healthy.
the armies of europe have adopted a modern "sports medicine" approach. by following their free fitness plans you can safely develop all-round fitness with the right kind/amount of effort.
Once a month, test your max load. then train up to 3/4 of that. each month increasing a bit. btw, training often until failure or to your absolute max load is unscientific and counterproductive. whoever does that ignores decades of progress in medicine.
@tobias question what does failure look like. Is it me unable to lift it up because I'm exhausted or something else?
yeah. flimsy shaky exhaustion. you only do that in your monthly progress test to see what's the absolute heaviest weight you can lift. or counting your maximum reps until failure with a medium weight.
@tobias Gotcha, that's what happen the first time I did it. Hands shaking and exhausted + a nausea feeling.
