I want to give my comrades advice and help the swoletariat grow. This isn't just about muscle gain, but cardiovascular health, diet, nutrition, and whatever weird shit your body may be doing.

If I don't know it maybe I can help you figure it out.

    I always appreciate advice. I agree it can be easy to injure yourself lifting something like a box, particularly with the risk of the box breaking. I kinda wrote that assuming the poster has 0 access or funds to equipment. But the second worst thing a person can do is delay exercise for years because they keep planning to get equipment, or the act of acquiring equipment becomes the psychological fulfillment.

      Yeah, definitely. The bodyweightfitness routine is doable without a pull-up bar - but eventually it'll become too easy. But by that point if the person has persevered then they'll feel comfortable bridging the gap and spending 20 quid on a pull-up bar.

      Pressups variations, squat variations, rows using the underside of a table, etc. All good starting points where the only real requirement is having a body.
