along with callisthenics for biceps training ive graduated from lifting gramsci's prison notebooks to a handle of whiskey refilled with water (i drank the whiskey). ive been doing some isometric exercises which have been working pretty well..... ive noticed that my right arm is significantly weaker than my left, it gets all shakey after a minute or so. this is annoying as im forced to interrupt the symmetry of my routine. also how do i do pullups w/o a bar. any other tips & tricks in Project Get Ken Swole are welcome. also chat about gettin swole yourselves, music to get swole to, books about gettin swole (convict conditioning, sun & steel), fighting, the philosophy of the body, fascism, etc.

exercise is awesome, it's essential for any serious revolutionary, it pumps you full of tasty endorphins, it transforms fragile aesthetes into (wo)men of wisdom and understanding. getfiscal. get swole w/ me getfiscal

Q: Can I get sawab (reward) in going to the gym getting my body in shape for my future wife? (text)

A: Allah (SWT) rewards a man for looking his best for his family. We agree, it not only for a woman to look her best, men too must place some effort into the matter. Allah has given us all a body as part of Amanah (trust.) This trust demands that we eat healthy and place into our bodies that which benefits our physical and spiritual health. Good health also requires exercise to the extent that the gym or area of exercise does not become our second home.

Make your intention as follows: Oh Allah i am seeking better health to better remember you and can be of better service and more appealing to Your creation so as to aid your creation to all types of good. Ameen

Rules:

Go and exercise when the opposite gender is not present. Guard your eyes and refrain from looking at what Allah has made forbidden for you to look at. Your going to the gym is due to an alternative not existing for you at your home, gym at your apartment complex, work, etc.

You must be in an environment that does not entice you to advance in any added wrongs.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.

dont work out every day, do it every other day or else you will be wasting your effort. you have to have a 48 period of protein synthesis to make gains from your work out.

doing arms is completely worthless unless you've laid down a base of core strength. get a bar and start doing compound lifts before you waste your time doing curls or isometrics imo

doing arms is not 'useless' you just should do really toned down versions of everything to begin with. no pullups or pushups or shit like that.

no its actually a near-total waste of time if you don't have core strength because you don't have your stabilisers at the point where they can effectively support your arms in any real-world application which is why every gym is filled with idiots with huge arms who can't actually move loads with them

also pullups are really good for your back and def should be in there

building up strength in your arms using correct and healthy method is still not bad or a waste because it's still there, even if at the time you cannot utilize it

Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.

it's a waste because you're not going to be lifting anywhere near as effectively or with as much load as you would if you were good at compound lifts. so yeah, you can get big arms if all you do is curls and steroid injections, but it's a lot more work for much less reward than just starting with basic compound lifts like bench press, shoulder press, rows etc all of which use your arms and are going to make you generally huge, and then adding more specific arm stuff later if you need it (most people don't). people quit lifting all the time because they think they can just do arms & chest every day and get huge and don't realise that it's a hell of a lot easier if you just go do compound lifts three times a week
