Just a question since I'm going to start at a similar age as you. Will people at the gym give a fuck if I'm weak as shit when I first get there? I litteraly played no sports in highschool other than the ocasional boxing matches with my buddies after school.

I'll go reguardless but I tend to lose motivation if I see people looking at me disapprovingly...

No body cares man I go there to lift not to care about what other people are doing. Just use good form and push yourself and over time you'll be decently strong and have a nicer body. Its better to start now than to wait and wish you starter sooner

Started at 23, 27 now. Not sure if I should have started earlier.

19
Did a Test cycle at 21.
Tren cycle at 22 and then cruised test

Appendix exploded, caused Peritonitis. Arms went from 16 inch to 13.5 inches within a single week. Lost all games, quit lifting.

Now I just take the dog out for a run every day. Arms back up to 14.5 inches, considering I haven't touched a weight since.
>no longer a lifter
Feel much better though

NOBODY gives a shit neither positive nor negative.
just go to a gym, you can ask other people in a gym most people will give you tips or show you how to do exercises.

used to be towards the skinny side, started eating more and doing push ups at 14 but never got the balls to go to the gym til 18

Started when I was 22. I spent ages 18-22 sitting in my computer chair drinking soda, eating very little and staying up all night. I did in my school years too, but I had reasons to wake up and I was more active because of gym class and doing general shit with friends (when we actually had to bike to get around).
I was 58kg skinnyfat at 5'7 when I started lifting. 75kg now, almost two years later.

started at 33 (midlife crisis, lol).
Old bear mode incoming

In my experience, people only disapprove of using gym equipment poorly or have bad gym etiquette.

It's very refreshing to see someone lifting light weight with proper form versus someone moving heavier weight with terrible form.

Everyone who is big has been at that point where they had to stop fucking around, swallow their pride, and get reps in with light weights, because lifting weights that you can't actually lift won't get you any meaningful progress and will more than likely get you injured.

And if you were to load up excessive weight on a barbell and cheat-curl in the squat rack, that's poor etiquette, so don't do goofy ass shit like that cause it won't help you.

>20
>I think almost everyone answers yes because seriously who is seriously lifting at 15 years old? Because optimally that's when you should start lifting

Started lifting at 15, made decent progress, got injured in high school football, couldn't lift for about a year, started taking it seriously again at 19 back in may and I'm almost back up to my 2pl8 bench, which is where my bench was at before my injury.

Also only started squatting with decent, full ROM form about 2 months ago so only squatting 2pl8 ATG for sets of 5, but it's steadily going up.

While it's good to push yourself hard in the gym, it's more important to be consistent and sustainable in your workouts. You don't get big overnight.

What the fuck? No. No one gives a fuck about you unless you're a good looking girl

That's pretty good rule in life
