## Get Strong

Training, nutrition, sleep and recovery for men who are starting from zero. No supplements to sell, no shortcuts to promise.

- [The Ten-Minute Warm-Up That Doesn't Eat Your Session](https://gritwright.com/strong/ten-minute-warmup/): What to actually do in the ten minutes before you lift, and why the stretching you were taught at school makes your first working set worse. (written by Ahmet Abiç; reviewed by Dana Holt, CSCS, strength coach)
- [How to Start Lifting When You've Never Touched a Barbell](https://gritwright.com/strong/first-barbell/): A four-week on-ramp for complete beginners: what to do on day one, how much to lift, and the mistakes that send most guys home after two weeks. (written by Ahmet Abiç; reviewed by Dana Holt, CSCS, strength coach; field-tested)

## Get Style

Clothing, fit, grooming and grooming gear, tested on real bodies and real budgets rather than on models. What to buy first, what to skip, and why fit beats all.

- [The 12 Pieces That Cover 90% of Your Life](https://gritwright.com/style/first-wardrobe/): A starter wardrobe built for a man who owns nothing but hoodies: what to buy first, what fit actually means, and where spending more is genuinely worth it. (written by Ahmet Abiç)
