TLDR: read title;

i have like zero strength rn and i have tried to strength train before but i never see progress (inconsistency + bad form trying to work on that)

im doing all my strength training at home and i have adjustable barbell/dumbbells, pullup bar + rings, cables (but only from the top) and a treadmill and i need some help on whats the easiest most effect routines bcs the ones online are very varied and i dont have like a bench or anything

i know a there are a lot of diff variations of exercises that target the exact same muscle group so i just need the easiest one to do, im mostly targeting my upper body but i have naturally broad shoulders so i need to know which exercise to stay away from + i have a short torso so not looking to do anything that makes my waist wider/boxy and i dont really care for legs except for hamstrings (sorry if i sound really picky or mean)

also fyi i cant do a single pushup nor pullup (yes i am that weak and fat :c) and i know like some of the basic stuff + im looking to train 3-4 days/week hopefully less than 1.5hrs

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!

p.s. how do i take advantage of newbie gains?

what are some fun ways i can make usernames from my name? e.g. people who listen to patd like to use [name]!atthedisco and i need fun things to add to my name like that

im new to this sorry

i want to start learning breaking bcs i think it looks fun so i want to sign up for classes probably but i can only see classes for hiphop/streetdance and sometimes its like the same thing but i just want to learn breaking specifically

i want to make banana bread and i have some leftover bread flour (yes i dont have ap flour) but its not enough for the recipe anyway so can i grind up muesli to replace ap flour? and if yes how should i alter the ratio or add any other ingredients

the muesli is made from oatflakes, wheatflakes and the usual toppings(raisins etc)

You're prayin' I'm the one, but maybe I'm a curse
The more you try to fix me, the more you make it worse
Could you love me at my worst?

ive new to all this and i know there are a bunch of different types and shapes and stuff but what kind is this called?

I like the feel of hollisters cotton clothes so im just curious but i cant find the answer anywhere

Recently i lost a LITTLE bit of weight and now my favorite pair of mid rise jeans are really loose now (but for some reason all my high waisted jeans are still tight) and wearing a belt makes it look weird bcs of like all the extra folds and im scared to get it tailored bcs it might like ruin the cutting bcs its not a straight cut but it used to fit me really nicely and not to mention i bought like 3 pairs of the exact same jeans (just in different colors) so is there anything else i can do to tighten it or make it fit better?

I feel like my life has just been declining every year and I try to stay positive but my environment is so toxic, and I'm not able to move or change the negative people around me because of some current situations. Like everyone is so rude and it genuinely pisses me off and sometimes even looking at someone having fun can rub me the wrong way. I know I'm not supposed to take it to heart and whatnot but its just so hard when it happens EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Thoughts?

How and when did you guys start listening to him? I used to be in a fandom and a lot of his music was really popular, been listening since 2019-2020 and became a fan in 2021, not long after the squid game edit with the idfc x soap remix was also trending lol

I know people are going to say 'oh just start' 'just do it', I know I should just start but the thing is im extremely weak, like I can't even do half a rep of a pushup (trust me i've tried) but im not like overweight or obese (but im pretty out of shape i'd say) and I feel like breakdancing takes a great amount of strength and energy (but im also really stiff and unflexible)

so did you do any exercises or stretches to help you when you started/to improve? like I tried doing the worm yesterday but i got tired after flipping once and instead on landing on my toes my fatass landed on my thighs and belly and it hurt

Edit: Thanks for the help everyone! I think I know what to do now, I'll start learning top rocks and strength training on the side and start from there :)

im talking about words like 'elysian', 'ethereal', 'labyrinth', and so on

the definition doesn't matter, just a word you think sounds really angelic and beautiful if you didnt know the meaning

im trying to expand my music palette and get into edm, but are there any artists that are more pop adjacent? i want to listen to songs that are like 2010s edm vibes and have like a bunch of lyrics instead of just like 2 words and then just 6 minutes of straight beats

i keep hearing everyone saying Subtronics is amazing top 1 and allat but tbh its not for me

if it helps i like songs like stay, clarity, the middle, party rock anthem etc
i like some avicii and alan walker but at the same time their beats arent strong enough

looking to get into dj as a hobby so everything i do would just be for home use, also can i be good at it if i currently have zero music experience?

sorry but idk which sub to ask this in but im in highschool rn and i plan to work in either( but hopefully both) music and film industry

For music I'd like to be an Artist Manager/MV Director etc
and as for film I'd like to be a Director or 1st Directing Assistant/SFX Makeup Artist so and so and whatnot

What are some good schools that have both an excellent film & music program? or does it not matter as long as I 'work hard'? Also I'm not sure if I would A-levels so if the school had a good foundation program it would be a bonus (Looking to study in Europe/US)

im buying my first ever guitar soon and i've decided to go with the tele but im not sure which pickup to get, i can only find S / H comparisons on youtube but not any between the H/HH, i know its just an extra pickup and probably doesnt make much of a difference but which would be better if im just starting out?

This sub probably gets questions like this all the time but I'm totally stumped. I was already planning on buying an electric guitar a few months ago and i remember doing research on the types of electric guitars (forgot everything about it now though) and had decided on a Squier Sonic HSS Strat

but clearly i did not do enough research because earlier i had the bright idea of seeing what my favorite artists use to play instead and I have noticed a pattern. Most of my artists use a double humbucker guitar (half of them being telecasters). So now i feel obligated to also buy a double humbucker telecaster, HOWEVER.. some of them also use the sss strat to play other songs, so i feel like i would have to buy something thats like in the middle ground like a mix of both

i live in Malaysia and i was looking at the Fender telecasters online but all i see are mostly almost all S/SS, though i have seen a few H/HH/SH (was thinking of getting an SH one but its like twice my budget..) Other brands im thinking of are schecter, les paul but theyre all just so expensive!!

These are some of the artists I listen to: Melanie Martinez, MGK, blackbear, Twenty-one pilots, Panic at the Disco, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Nessa Barrett, Forrest Nolan, Olivia Rodrigo etc

Genres: pop / alt pop / indie pop / pop punk / emo alt rock / etc

now i need helping finding a new electric guitar and i have a few questions:

1) should a beginner like me be going straight into using a double humbucker for my first guitar or should i go with a different pickup?

2) what specific type of Fender Telecasters would you recommend? [open to other brands]
(please dont say all of them are good and it doesnt matter just please suggest something, i will research all the suggestions myself later on before finalizing my decision)

3) why did you pick the one you picked and how does it stand out / differ from the other types (explain in really really simple but also specific terms pls)

4) which one is going to best fit within my budget of 275usd MAX (the cheaper the better)

all of this is just for home use for fun nothing serious and as for amps i have decided on either the Fender Mustang LT25 or the Vox VT20x

also please dont tell me to go with whatever one my heart feels or tell me to go into a store and pick up and feel whichever one is best because my heart is extremely indecisive and this is a very expensive hobby and even if i test out the different types of guitars im not going to know which one is better or feels right because theyre all going to feel the exact same to me (only thing i can do is judge by their prices and appearance lol)

p.s. sorry for long post
