The main issue with /r/fitness is that it's not a focused guide so you run into decision paralysis almost immediately. It's great if you already know what you want, and it's very open ended. And, generally, I think people who are really far along in their business journey are not who beginners should be listening to.
The wiki does seem to be a focused guide, unless I'm missing something.
Am I missing something? The Getting Started area splits into 4 exercise sections immediately and you're left to your own devices. My first attempt at serious exercise was from this very page and I ended up doing stronglights for a while, which was OK...
That's a fair complaint I guess. It seems to narrow things down a bit but maybe not enough.
Also, lurk a few years on /fit/ ;)
But for real, their sticky is nice.

And for anyone, yes it happens, new to 4chan, it is an acquired skill to navigate their sarcasm and apparent savagery. Don't feel left out if it takes some time to... acclimate...
But rest assured, there lies some humanity and good insight within, if you can find it.
It is both entirely free and substantially better than this guide. It is based on the combined experience of people who are much further along in their fitness journey than Julian. There are good answers to all common questions and there are solid programs that match various personal preferences.
