Well basically grow muscle and more size, get a bit bigger. For that, do I go 15, 12 ,8 or just go 8, 8, 8? | ||

To make a long story short, don't worry about it and just consistently lift. Experiment with different rep amounts. Just put in the time and effort. A case can be made that the simpler you keep it, the easier it will be to measure progression. Seeing progress can be important to maintaining the habit/routine. | ||

To echo the above, the most important part will be sticking to a program. If that program is 5x5 or 4x8 it's not going to make much of a difference for quite a while. Find a program (there are several in the training rec sticky post) and stick to it. Rep structures like 15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 is called reverse pyramid and has its merit's as well if you want to google it. | ||

If you do whatever you think your competition is doing, you will never gain an edge there. | ||

As long as you are not better than 99% you absolutely don't need to gain an edge by trying new stuff you just do what the top 1% do. | ||

But frankly the argument is pretty good, basic stuff that top people do or pretend to do is usually good enough | ||

I'm a lazy person but i reaaaally need to do some training: About me: - I'm 1,81m and about 80kg (metric system for the win :D ) - I'm a hungry person, so i'm not that good with diets ^_^ - I do play some Tennis in the warmer month, maybe once a week but that clearly ins't enough - I don't mind if the training goes where it "hurts" - I do not want to waste 2-3 hours every second day because that would quickly demoralize me. - I can do 30min to 1h on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays/Saturdays - I hate jogging/ running just for jogging/running - Contrary to the above, i don't mind running after every ball in Tennis Equipment: - I do have small dumbbell set (hope thats what this is called) - I could invest some 200-300 bucks if it's worth it - I do have some space that could be used for training, about 3x3m What should i do? I read about TRX (the thing with the slings) Is that any good? | ||

Why do you need training? What kind? What are you looking for? Conditioning, strength, flexibility, weight loss/gain, looks, healthier lifestyle? You need to tell us what you want to achieve first before any advice can be given. Regarding your willingness to invest time/money, just be clear on this: You get out what you put in. If you train little, you will gain little, regardless of your goals. That is not to say your 1 hour every other day can't work for you, but you need to manage expectations. | ||

I want some general healthyness and maybe a few muscles for the Ladys ^-^, Looks as you put it in your post. I'm not training towards any specific goals beside me feeling good about myself, which is kind of a shaky goal, i admit. I thought i could set achievable goals on specific exercices, like 20 pull ups (can do about 5-6 right now) | ||

I read about TRX (the thing with the slings) Is that any good? Don't say that again. TRX is for old ladies. Doing strength training with a barbell is your best bet (so it's best to join a gym if you can) Getting a Kettlebell and a skipping rope would be another good way to start, except your strength gains will be capped. | ||

Given the limited time you want to invest GotunK is right here. It's kind of the standard advice on this board (and others), but basic barbell strength training will give you the best bang for you buck. 1h 3x per week can actually get you quite far doing just that as long as you are consistent. Check out the general training recommendations, it includes a section on strength training for beginners with links to popular programs like Starting Strength or Stronglifts: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sports/261928-general-training-recommendations | ||
