Some guys will swear by these 2 movements alone. however if youre doing this to infinity that means increasing the weight through a dip belt

For squats/deadlifts you have a variety of weights you can use. Weight is weight. It's just whatever form

dumbbell, barbell, kettlebell

Calisthenicmovement

I never really got into weight lifting versus calisthenics - I think that the right approach will be both.

The only thing is this - the machines you see at the gym. The only actual machine you need is cable machine. Cable machine will enable you to do things that you can't otherwise do. Cable machine is the only REAL machine. The rest of them are "very specific for one thing only" that's the nature of machines at the gym.

So primarily body weight

And added weight (dumbbell, barbell, kettlebell, dip belt, or chain around the neck, or backpack)

At some point you can use cable machine to achieve a variety of things

The twisting movement (hold it in front of you, this is the missing ab movement that ab wheel doesn't have), cable crossovers, face pulls

The strategy in using a cable machine would be probably use it at a gym but gyms are closed. So if youre going to invest in this this one is a huge space and money investment (like 2000 bucks)

So start out with body movement and weights, and for going even further at some point in your "career" gain access to a cable machine

Building muscle means gaining fat too. There's arguments about this, like for example, the standout is Keto. Can you gain muscle without gaining fat as well? Is it slower to gain muscle on keto?

What I had previously read a study - the best bodybuilding is keto WITH CARBS. Not "regular" nutrition, not "keto," but keto where you use carbs to build muscle.

So normally you'd build muscle, which also gains fat, then you'd have to "cut" have a phase where you lose the fat but retain the muscle. THIS would probably be done on keto.

I'm about to go to sleep so I just want to achieve this point - you have "schools of thought" do you want to eat carbs or no carbs. Can you build muscle without gaining fat? (Not normally possible).

And can you lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. Common wisdom in this area says no, you can't both lose fat and gain muscle. But you will have newbie gains where this IS possible for a while.

So the most important thing in bodybuilding is creating "mind muscle" connection. You can research more into this, however, this is the only way. A tendency a lot of people will have will be to cheat the movement. Or compensate by using other muscle groups. Only once you've created the mind muscle connection then you will start properly lifting. You can be in the gym for years until this finally clicks, or you can figure out right from the start and make your time useful.

Another thing to know is "twitch muscle fibers" you'll have to look into this. Certain muscles have different muscle fibers which determines if the muscle wants fast reps or until exhaustion. Check "muscle fibers" if you want to know how that muscle wants to be worked

It takes about 4 years of "getting it right" to maximize your natural potential. Most of your gains will be in the first year. After that it really slows down

People have different body types (not everybody is naturally gifted or even good at bodybuilding) " endomorph, the mesomorph, and the ectomorph"

The only thing I haven't mentioned would then be the bench. You can do a variety of things with the bench

rows

press

hip thrust

Great for building the butt

What I do personally I have a thing for building lower back. People put on mass but neglect the lower back. Then they're in trouble. You can train lower back by reverse hyperextension (never go more than --- flat don't overextend)
