Don't know about him but I do the same (move the schedule forward one hour) and I try to get sleep by midnight. Unless I'm working the closing shift. Then its sleep by 5, gym by 8, work by 10.

>I already have a (fat) girlfriend, what do I need to go to the gym for?

>I'm a smoker and it's pointless to be fit if i'm still smoking.

That last one used to be me, but I started going to the gym even while I was still smoking. I found that after a while I wanted to stop smoking because it was interfering with my cardio and thus my weight loss goals.

TL;DR going to the gym inspired my to quit smoking.

>I mean, I wanna get in better shape, but I'd need like a trainer or something because I wouldn't know what to do

How the hell do I get my little faggot brother to start lifting. He's into it but he keeps quitting.

>I'm busy w/ school
>I want to wait until I have time to start consistently

I ask him if he has much HW a few days later

>"No"
>"Why don't you come to the gym today then?"

God this little fag is infuriating. A few lifts here and there before starting an organized schedule is only good for you.

>>38336307
>>38337198
>>38338722
>I'm too tired when I get off work

Imo, being tired isn't an excuse. I've had days where I felt shitty and thought I was too tired to lift, but I went to the gym anyway just to at least keep the habit, figuring a tiny amount of progress is better than no progress.... Well guess what? Once I started lifting, my blood started flowing and I found the energy to do my normal workout.

Separate from being tired, a valid excuse is getting a proper amount of sleep. I work part-time and don't get the benefit of a regular sleep schedule, so some days I need to ditch the workout if I had planned on going before bed but end up getting off work later than expected. Sleep should be holy for /fit/izens, if I don't get a good night's rest I fall apart, and fast.

Yeah that's B.S. unless you're working at a job that makes lift a ton of things around.

Sitting at a desk or standing all day doesn't really make you tired. 90% of the time once someone feels that way and actually goes to the gym after work, they feel great.

Me too, but still, go lift the fucking weights, and if you decide you like it, and get tired of mediocre results, then adjust the food. I enjoy watching myself change, rather than comfort eating.

this was my old friend group

> "I just don't have the time"
> gets stoned and drunk every night until 2am

when I got swole they got incredibly insecure and we had a yuge falling out

I convinced my brother to come lift with me once. Halfway through he goes "what's the point? Why are we doing this?" And he just left. I honestly couldn't answer him. I just said something general, like it's good for you and feels good, but honestly I'm not even sure I believed that myself.

Anyways the guy almost made me stop lifting, but I slowly came to realize why I lift. So I guess if a normie asks why lift, if the person on the other side doesn't have a good reason, then that just puts the normie off of lifting even more.

I mean you don't need to watch it in one sitting. I don't own a TV or watch TV shows anymore because I personally prefer books or youtube but you should be able to make time for 80 hours of entertainment in 6 months or a year or whatever. Going to the gym doesn't mean your entire day is dedicated to it.

I work second shift and go to the gym after. One of those 24 hour places. Wake up at 11 am, get ready for the day/relax, work from 3 pm to 1130 pm, take about a half hour to hour at gym, get to bed by 3 am. I really think it just depends on how much sleep you get.

>>38340597

>>38345377
I'm a fat man hitting the gym for the past month. Don't let this attitude get to you. No one sincerely gives a shit about you at the gym because they are focusing on themselves. If you are worried about breaking something try the machines for a few weeks until you are comfortable with free weights. The fact you are here means you have some interest in bettering yourself. You can do it.

I used to go to gym last summer and I remember how the people were looking at me.

>>38345377
>> people will judge me / I might meet someone I know
what? you think people judge you more at a gym working out than they do 24/7 when you're walking down the street?

>>38346052
actually yes, I do.. when I'm walking down the street, my head is full of other things and I barely aknowledge other's existence for the few seconds until they pass by, but if I were in a gym with the same people for some time, I would start thinking things about them

>>38338722
1 hour commute isn't that bad. For a standard 9-5:

>wake up 7:30
>leave at 8 for 9-5 job
>come home at ~6:30
>eat and do other stuff until 7:30
>30 minute commute
>1 hour workout
>come back home at 9:30
>spend 2 hours goofing off
>sleep for 8 hours

I mean, it's definitely a tight-ish schedule. But I've been doing it every other day for 10 months, now.

Yesterday:
>"I think I'm going to start going. But... I'm not going to go crazy or anything, I just want to get toned."
He's 5'9, 130 lbs

Or, when he "toned up" a bit in the past before quitting:
>"dude, check out how huge my bicep naturally is, I get it from my dad"
>"feel it"
>"pretty big huh, I don't even need to work out that hard"
Hes 5'9 130

>>38345377

>>38346152

Are they inflatable or something?

Chronic migraines. Doesn't always keep me from a workout but they'll interrupt one in a hurry.

stop watching tv, movies or playing video games. they're degenerate and fuck with your sleep cycle. go to bed early and read a book for a while before falling asleep. when you wake up get out the bed right away. if you think "just 5 more minutes" it only gets more difficult.

It's hot where I live, so early morning is the best time to run. I'd rather get up early than sleep in and jog when it's miserable out. Some people say they're full of energy after a morning jog, maybe helps you start out your day. I don't know about that. I haven't really noticed a difference.

I think this is the only legitimate one. I love lifting, and I love how it makes me feel/what it does to my body more. But if someone legit hates exercise so much that they'd rather be weak, fat, and die young then fine. It's not bullshit, it's just inferior.
