Your first problem is wanting to workout for how you look and not for your health. Get in shape to get in shape and have the ability to use your body better, not for the looks. I didn't do any weight lifting back when I was a prize fighter and I was in significantly better shape than all the other guys who did heavy lifting and I got more gals than those fellas too. Size is what lifting weights builds, not strength. I was stronger than all the guys lifting heavy weights and quicker too with more stamina.

That looks like someone who doesn't work out.

Ok.. and?

I am in great shape from all the sports I play (basketball, cross country, high jump, golf). And I want to have a chest for my self. Not for females, trust me I don't have much trouble in that department. I just want to get a chest

Should be able to get what you want with a poo load of push-ups. Look up variations of push-ups and hit it hard three days a week.

I'm gonna be lifting during my basketball period now since I'm done with bball, but I'm planning on 100 pushups when I wake up and go to sleep to add on to what I do in the weight room

Buy a pullup bar you can put on your door frame, it's really cheap. Your age and size lead me to believe you'd be more likely to do body weight stuff at home opposed to trying to dive into the deep end of weight lifting.

Body weight exercises are a great start and can definitely give results. You can do pull ups, pushups, and squats everyday depending on how quickly you can recover (i.e. how sore you are from previous day). start small and work your way up, it takes time but if you commit you should start seeing changes ~3weeks.

I know your main goal is your chest but if you just do a bazillion pushups you're going to look a little out of proportion because you're 6"3' if you don't touch your legs.

As your reps increase you need to eat more calories, especially protein. Can buy protein shakes, Cams Greek yogurt etc.

Have to start somewhere, good luck.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
