SSB Front squats with band tension and chains for accommodating resistance.
5 sessions per week.
The best way.

Box is too complicated for a beginner iirc. Just keep it simple for now.
Introduce camber bar floor press later as well.

I think cambered bar now then progress to bamboo bar and kettle bells attached by bands
Absolutely. If you seen how much some pro athletes sleep for example
I can remember Eddie Hall saying he was sleeping 14 hours a day - think it was either in the run up to the 500kg or in prep for the year he won World's.

You can start with low weight dumbell, or low weight on the bar, some people even start with just the bar with no weight on it (5kg).
Just start with something that feels challenging at 5 reps. Pick a beginner program and stick to it for a while (I started with stronglifts 5×5 the move on to greyskull phraks variant- Google em).

My body feels sore from just reading this.

Gallon of milk a day, suction therapy and a massage dildo/gun will sort that.

I know you’re taking the piss (sort of). And even though I’m oriented towards a more bodybuilder style of training these days, when anyone asks how to build muscle I’m automatically geared towards that no bullshit Rippetoe-style mindset of drink a gallon of milk a day and do heavy squats, so... anyway what I’m trying to say is that the OP wouldn’t be going far wrong buying himself a safety squat bar, a lot of milk and a dildo gun.

It’s absolutely the best approach like.
I was taking the piss out of any deliberate complications people make and generally sit in the same camp as you. It’s arguable that even very experienced trainees probably don’t need to fuck around with accommodating resistance.
And also yes, safety bars are class. I was doing most of my squatting with one before gyms closed to manage elbow pain.
The dildo gun is because it takes more than a woman to keep me satisfied.

I think if people really want to gain some mass, especially if it's an initial 'base', then the best bet is to make sure there's no way you're having days not in a surplus, which is usually best ensured by aiming for a bigger 'on paper' calorie surplus. Things like milk and chocolate milk are real game changers if you don't have an insatiable appetite

Puts to bed the myth of people in gyms etc not being approachable for help mind. Always loads of people helping with advice on this forum.

Agree - however even as a regular(ish) gym goer, I like to keep myself to myself and would probably ask on here before a randomer at the gym

Why are you bothered about fat content?
As long as you're not eating loads of trans fats you'll be fine. High healthy fat diets are fine. Some days I get 40% of cals from fats.
Each to their own like and you may be better on low fat / high carb, but that doesn't mean everyone will.
I also don't know where you heard protein shakes are detrimental to health? They are a great source of protein.
I'm vegan and wouldn't be able to get my protein in without protein shakes. Use them probably every day.
