You're doing it wrong.

>>26209443
You should listen to his advice. The best progress you ever make is in the 1st few weeks of working out.

Also go to the gym late at night on a friday/saturday. All the chads aren't there.

>>26209443
Aww, he liked you cos you make him look good by comparison.

I would kill for a mentor OP, and you just threw him away. Fuck you, you faggot.

>>26209929
There's thousands of guides and forums out there to help you, I started lifting at home and did just fine.

>>26209443
TFW no robot gym buddy to mutually help each other improve and help with my anxiety of being alone.

>>26209929
hes not "mentoring" anyone jackass. making one off comments on form is not mentoring

>>26209443
Don't give up! Keep at it and you'll notice a difference quicker than you think

>>26209983
He liked you tho he was just trying to catch your attention. Guys go do that sorth of thing in front of cute girls all the time you completely misunderstood the while thing
Go back to that gym idiot

>>lifting for other people
>You're doing it wrong.

Not OP, but should I just not lift at all then, so far I've never lifted but tried other sports and exercises numerous times and they have never been fun long term.

Longest I ever stuck to something was 1 year of basketball and that only lasted as long because some of my friends were on the team aswell. I always was the worst of them though.

>>26209443
if you dk how to lift, just use the machines for now

Faggot. Stop obsessing over random guys msucles when you're at the gym for you. Also random dudes trying to give advice will always happen once in a while at the gym, you're supposed to ignore it like every other social interaction. Anyway, the hardest part about lifting is eating if you're a hungry skelly, not the actual exercise

>>26209972
I don't have barbells, only dumbbells, and I've never stepped foot in a gym. It's one thing to look at videos for form and another thing entirely to actually pull them off. How will I know I have bad form if I have no one to point it out?

>>26210114
uhh, n-no

>>26209443
OP take this from a fellow robot- I've been lifting around 3 years now. If there's something to learn at the gym it is never to judge someone based on what they lift. You are there for YOU- judging a weak person at the gym is like judging a jobless person at the job centre. It is nonsensical. Trust me OP, get back in the gym and power through that shit. I see myself in you. My advice would be for you to check out a programme called stronglifts 5x5 (google it). Stick to that shit to the T and you will be out lifting most fucking chads. Good luck.

>skinnyfat
>been going to the gym for two weeks and a day

The slow ramping up that comes along with SS is somewhat tedious in the beginning but I refuse to fucking stop. If I hadn't stopped last January I'd be shredded already.

hey, I just started lifting too, and I got pretty mad the other day because my back was hurting from deadlifts (have to work on my form) and my shoulder was hurting on bench press.

But I realized there's no use getting pissed off at not being huge because it takes time and dedication. I'm going back tomorrow and I'm going to keep a positive attitude. Eat a lot, lift heavy, stay consistent and keep your discipline. Hopefully after a couple months I can see some solid progress.

Just keep at it, man. That guy probably gave you advice because he remembers when he started out lifting and he knows it isn't an easy journey.

Good luck familia

Why not just use the machines? That's what I do. I never even picked up a dumbbell, because then I'd have to walk over to where all the scary Chads are.

What is even better about the feee weights than the macines?

>>26209443
Why not buy some 20 dollar weights and do it all at home dummy

Machines aren't giving you realistic movements, stabilizer muscles get completely neglected, and you're more prone to injury

>>26210359
This OP, No one in the gym judges or makes fun of the newcomer skellies/fatties.
Starting Strenght, Stripped 5x5 or Stronglifts 5x5 are good beginner routines for the basics. They are great because they actually make you stronger instead of meme-tier brosplits

>>26210548
>What is even better about the feee weights than the macines?
Just use the machines to compliment your compound movements and dumbbell exercises. They area acceptable for the end of your sets when you are working on isolation exercises.

Chad didn't start lifting those heavy weights the first time he went to the gym.

He started with babby weights, just like you. His only advantage is that he's been lifting for probably 5 years.

Not even going to read the thread but those gym chads are actually pretty helpful honestly, they really just want to help smooth you along, everybody has to start somewhere

What's the point of lifting when you're fat? You can't lose weight and gain strength at the same time.

Lifting helps to get improve your metabolism so you'll burn more calories even while resting.

Gym bro here, get your ass back to the gym!

Tired of hearing about people being too embarrassed to go to the gym, yeah you're a skeleton.. But you were there lifting, doing something about it. He respected you for that.

We all started somewhere, if I'd had been in there I would tried to give some advice myself. Because most people like you quit the first week, just stick through it man. You really got to have some motivation.

I was a little over 33% BMI, now i'm ripped. First month or so I could barely do one push up.


All I can say is IT GETS BETTER.

It becomes easier to do that push up, you get used to that "burn" that you probably hate.. You end up loving that burn, it means your making progress. Your pushing yourself, learn to love that feeling.

op lifting is a meme

think about it. the only ones ever talking about looking better, having better body etc are men. now think about the rumors of the gay showers at gyms. yes working out is to look better. but it's too look better for other men.

lifting works, sort of. It will take at least six months and probably at least a year, but it works. You'll get a bit of attention but eveyrthing else depends on your personality.

Work hard and eat tons of good food and sleep like a child. do this for six months.

>>26209443
that guy doesn't sound that bad to be fair. Good on him.

I'm 55kg op, and 6ft so i'm a fucking skele too. Trying to eat more but it's just fucking hard. I'm just not fucking hungry mang. Also i'm >pescetarian so whenever i ask for advice on what to eat people just laugh at me and tell me i'm a faggot for not eating meat etc

i have some weights my brother didn't use at home, so i started doing 5x5 Bench, Squat, Deadlift, OH Press, Bicep Curl and Bent over Rows every day but i could hardly bench 30kg to 5x5 without feeling like death and i felt so pathetic after a while i quit

Let me tell you a story, OP. Ya see, I've been lifting for a couple weeks and I'm no where near being where I want to be obviously. I was trying to get my fingerprint to register with the door lock so I could get out of the cold when this fuckin' Chad came over and let me in (he'd seen me in there before so he knew I wasn't a scumbag). After thanking him I walked into the main room and saw this fat guy, probably 19 or so, doing leg presses in a hoodie he had pulled over his head. Do you know what I thought when I saw that guy in the gym? I thought to myself, "Good for this guy. There's obviously something he isn't comfortable with in his physique so he's coming here at night just like me so that he can fix it." He was pretty nice too, popped his headphones out to ask if he could move a barbell loaded up for Deadlifts from in-front of the Squat rack (I know for a fact Chad left it there since I had to work in between his DL's two days prior) and I told him it wasn't for me so he was welcome to move it. After that we didn't speak to each other again, I did my half an hour of work and went home.

The moral of the story is, don't just assume people are judging you harshly for being at the gym and being weak. I still go late at night so I can do my 65lb Bench without being cackled at but honestly there might not even be a single person who would care during the day. Stick with it, robo-P. We're all gonna make it brah. that's when you'll start getting judged by the skinnyfats and skellys, like i do to that Chad who let me in

Top kek nothing like putting dyel skellys in their place. Certified gym bully here one of my favorite activities is going up to tiny cucks and asking to work in with them on squats and then over head press their max squat while yelling out "lightweight baby!". I also like curling white tiny little guys bench to exert my dominance over them.

yea m8 seeing other people lift more then you means you shouldn't lift . totally legit conclusion .
i guess i was born fucking retarded because by that logic i should have killed myself as a baby , why fucking live if people are doing marathons and you cant even stand let alone walk .

im just saying you're fucking stupid ,90% of the time im the biggest guy at the gym and on my first day there i was the DYELest guy in the gym .

>>26209443

>>26213686
he didnt even gym-bully him , he just fucking did his routine and OP got triggered .

OP please dont go to the gym , the gym is for ripped strong guys only . its pretty much an unwritten law that if you cant do a decent bench\squat you shouldn't come and waste time on the squat rack for actual lifters .people like you shit up the gym for everyone else .everyone knows you get strong and THEN you start going to the gym , not the other way around .
