    Had my first ever trips to the gym last week!

    And it hurts !!

    It's only taken me 33 years but i got there in the end. It's not to lose weight or anything. Quite the opposite actually. Trying to bulk up a little and eat a shitload in the process.

    Will see how it works out. I'll either get bored VERY quickly, or stick to it and finally change my body shape which i've had since High School

    If you get REALLY FUCKING SORE? Don't give up. Just lighten up. We all want to do it in a day, which of course isn't possible.

    Diet, start off with low weight, small weight. Fell the burn but don't think you can cut it the fuck out in a week. That will leave you laid up in bed for two weeks.

    Chill, treadmill, some arms at like 10-15lbs... maybe bench like 60-80 lbs. It will happen.

    Also, don't worry about other assholes in the gym if you go to a public one. You're doing the right thing.

    Best advice? DIET and CARDIO > BOOZE and WEIGHTS

    The cardio will make everything fall into place naturally as you get healthier. Good luck on your journey

      I hope a big ass muslim sat either side of you, staring you in the eye and waving the Blag Flag of Islam while you pumped your flabby ass.

        Its one helluva ride....slow and steady wins the race! If you need any diet/training advice I'd be more than welcome to offer a hand. What are you starting at height/weight wise?

            Keep it up until at least 20 or so consecutive sessions, after which it will gradually become second nature.

            ps. if you get bored occupy yourself while working out or switch the exercises up (which you'll want to do anyhow for continued growth/progress)

                  audiobooks/podcasts are the answer to the boredom.

                  for me at least.

                    if you focus on building muscle, the fat will take care of itself.

                    if most people understood this, there'd be less people losing weight and gaining it all back. Good luck, and just remember to judge your progress by the mirror or tape measure -- not by the scale.

                      Solid advice here...youll pack a good 10-15lbs on in no time. After that is the hard part . I started at 115 and got into the 190's at my heaviest...in the 175-180 range now. Much more practical and im not force feeding myself 24/7

                            Aspirin is your best friend the first couple of weeks at the gym. Your second best friend is water.

                            After a couple of weeks the intense pain from using muscles that you have not really worked out before (just walking doesn't count) will STOP hurting like that so as others have said "don't give up" it will pass and you will start to see definition and be motivated to keep it up!

                            Now get to the gym - NOW!

                              Also, remember that you make progress when out of the gym -- so don't go every day.

                              Don't stick to set number of reps and sets. Do what feels right for your body.

                              My bench press numbers have shot up recently by taking a week off (sometimes two) in between heavy bench press days. Finally in the 225 club.
