So I fully acknowledge I am not in the best of shape, but I generally find that I am in better shape than I thought I was from what a drunk nonce of a PE teacher taught me in high school. A good example is learning that I can actually do a decent number of pull ups but just don’t know the form to do it when I am not semi-frantically trying to avoid a ten foot fall.
Can anyone recommend any good youtubes for this? Checked out one that The Algorithm gave me on push-ups but was about ready to hunt him down and set his home on fire if he said “my friend” one more time (I get branding but…).
I will second Sean Nalewanyj, he explains things really well for my liking.
I’ll have to check out Mario.
I would also suggest Jonni https://youtube.com/@JonniShreve He has some coaching up videos where he critiques other fitness people and explains any form mistakes. He also gives really good cues to remember while you are lifting.
Form and full range of motion are super important. You don’t want to be doing an exercise for years and mess up your shoulder because of the wear and tear.
Also, you didn’t ask, but eat healthy and get sleep/rest. Your body needs fuel and rest to repair muscles.
