Do you guys even lift?

[pyrosheep]

Yes I actually HAVE to for survival training in school. Each day c:

Congrats man. I've also lost about 10 pounds since then. In muscle and fat though... though more so the latter which I'm okay with. Haven't had a really good workout in the last like 3 weeks though due to some shit. Aside from maybe a day here or there. Really need to get back into the habit...

Lift a file cabinet today...

I hate actually going to do it, but I like when I'm actually doing it. Feels good. Hurts the next day, but not enough hurt, need to hurt more!

wut?

Nice. Would have to agree. It only hurt for me for like the very first workout in each muscle group though and wasn't ever really too bad aside from when I did a leg workout. The next day after that walking up and down stairs at the school and in my house was a total bitch... I bet if I start working out again now I'll probably be a bit sore again though.

[Cheesicle]

Yea, I've been doing it like 3 times a week and crap at home.

Most people follow a workout routine. For me, it's:

DAY 1:
Chest/Triceps
DAY 2:
Back/Biceps
DAY 3:
Shoulders/Legs (Throw in abs if you want)
DAY 4:
Rest

If I follow this routine everyday, (which I do) that means I workout 6 days a week.
If you're starting to workout, don't quit. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Beginners usually develop what veterans call "noob gains". That is, the period in which the individual starts working out and sees rapid muscle growth.

I started working out 4 months ago. I started at a 30 pound dumbbell chest press at each hand. Now I'm plateauing at 60 pounds per hand. Within 4 months, I doubled my lifts in almost all my muscles.

So yes, like the first responder said, DEDICATION. When I first started, working out felt like a chore. I would think "Oh fuck, it's time to go to the gym now " But now, I fucking LOVE working. I actually quit gaming because I love working out so much. I get pumped everytime I hit the gym. Eventually, if you stick to the gym and you see your gains, you will fucking LOVE working out.

I won't lie, I'm a fat fuck. I'm not really trying to lose fat, just trying to build muscle. But you have to have at least some mental control. I limit my carbohydrate and junk food intake as much as I can. Usually I limit carbs to lunch only, and consume mostly protein filled foods for breakfast and dinner. And even when I consume carbs, I try to ignore the "shit carbs" (white bread, rice, etc), and stick to "clean carbs" (whole wheat, brown rice, etc).

If you really want to pursue this, then a gym membership is definitely the place to start. You're not really going to get far with the few petty things you have at home.

ANOTHER TIP:
If you currently don't lift much, don't be discouraged when you go to the gym and you see HUMUNGOUS fucks in the gym bench pressing 150 pounds. I felt that when I started. I was discouraged and I didn't want to workout. But my friends encouraged me, and I gradually began to ignore the other huge people in the gym. They actually don't care about how much you lift as much as you think they do.

Here are some general noob rules of working out:
If you can do 12 reps with ease, you're not lifting heavy enough
Exhale on Effort. (For instance, if you're chest pressing, exhale when you push the weights, inhale when you bring them down.)
Don't worry if you don't feel the muscle being worked. Eventually you will.
FIND A WORKOUT BUDDY! Seriously. This is flipping important. Workout buddies encourage you, AND help you spot when you can't get the weight up. SO MANY PEOPLE lift waaaaaaayyyy too light because they don't have a spot there to help them.

TL;DR:
1. Build a routine
2. Dedication
3. Mental strength
4. DGAF about what other people think.
5. Get a workout buddy! *SUPER IMPORTANT*

Surprising it hasn't been that bad for pain. I remember in High School the next day from an actual day of PE I'd feel like I was hit by a truck, but my pains only been a 6 or 7 out of 10. And I think I've been pushing pretty hard.

"Oh fuck, it's time to go to the gym now " That's me right now lol. I hate going to actually do it, but do have a better time when actually in the motion.

Isn't the most common workout  Day 1 upper body, day 2 lower body, and than it just repeats itself?

Yea, I currently have access to some weight machines, but I want to get a gym membership. 
Though GYM memberships are pricey as fuck so I hear.

1. Yeah, most people start off thinking working out is a chore. You really need some sort of motivation in order to get started. After you start seeing gains, working  out will seems actually pretty fun. When I started I thought of it like a game. Every time a upgraded to a heavier weight, I would "level up".
Here are some SUPER MOTIVATIONAL videos for you:

MOTIVATION - PAIN IS TEMPORARY

2. Most people do specific muscles to concentrate on. Upper body consists of chest, triceps, abs, shoulders, back, and biceps. That is WAAAAAYYYYYYY too much to focus on in one day. Lower body only consists of legs. It's really unbalanced. That's why people split them up.

3. Yes. Sadly, gym memberships are fuckin' expensive. That's why you shouldn't get a membership unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure you want to start working out consistently. Otherwise, you'd be wasting your money.

>Doing jog
>group of girls say hi to me
>say hi back
>they trying to talk to me
>don't have time for bitches (Plus they were in like High School.)
>Keep jogging
>They get mad
Aw yea, Alpha(asshole.) as fuck!

Also worked out so hard my headache went away.

1) Yea, going to do it/getting ready to do it is still a bitch, but I start loving it when I do it. Still a chore to me atm, but starting to really enjoy it. Life just feels like it got a lot better when I started working out. (Hurrah brain chemicals or whatever.)

2) Hm, well I don't know what works on what muscles lol. Don't even know the name for half of the stuff I am doing. lol

3)  I think I will in the future. When I really want to expand. (And when I have a job.) But I should probably get more use to it before I start spending money. Though I'm thinking about wearing a weight vest(for just when I go to school and just walk around and shit.)

[ursus]

how ripped you get depends on how bad you want it

if you aren't motivated then good luck doing anything ever
