    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.

            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.

                                How important is protein shakes to you guys ?

                                I spent £35 (say $55) on a tub which has lasted only 10 days (3 shakes each day)...

                                  I get Nitrotech for about $35 at Vitamin Shoppe and that lasts for about 3 weeks for me. But I don't do 3 a day...I get a lot of my protein from meals.

                                    I have 1 shake a day post workout the rest is from whole food sources. I took a lot of protein supplementation out by using liquid egg whites...they're pasteurized and do not have the slimy consistency of a raw egg white (or risk of salmonella). I take that and mix it with Walden Farms calorie free chocolate syrup...tastes like yohoo. Ill do that 1-2x a day depending on my schedule. being that you are 155 I think you can get all your required nutrition from whole food sources without any issues. The key here is to not eat as much as humanly possible. I did that and all you do is gain fat with a little bit more muscle. Take the lean bulking approach, eat slightly over maintenance and gain as much lean mass as possible while keeping fat gains down. Quality of your calories is huge in bodybuilding. Its not just cals in vs cals out.

                                        I could barely drive my car after my first visit to the gym. You will like the results and you will love the gym.

                                            It's the price you pay. Results won't happen overnight but you'll notice them eventually, keep it up pal.

                                              I spent £35 (say $55) on a tub which has lasted only 10 days (3 shakes each day)...
                                              Protein shakes help, especially post workout but try and get the rest of your protein intake from other sources. I don't eat fish so things like tuna are off the table for me. I get all my meats, poultry, egg whites, etc. from here now: http://www.musclefood.com/ - very very convenient and exceptional quality. Their chicken breasts are amazing! The hache steaks BRILLIANT!

I took a lot of protein supplementation out by using liquid egg whites...they're pasteurized and do not have the slimy consistency of a raw egg white (or risk of salmonella). I take that and mix it with Walden Farms calorie free chocolate syrup...tastes like yohoo. Ill do that 1-2x a day depending on my schedule. being that you are 155 I think you can get all your required nutrition from whole food sources without any issues. The key here is to not eat as much as humanly possible. I did that and all you do is gain fat with a little bit more muscle. Take the lean bulking approach, eat slightly over maintenance and gain as much lean mass as possible while keeping fat gains down. Quality of your calories is huge in bodybuilding. Its not just cals in vs cals out.
                                                    I agree with Phil, you can get all the nutrients you need from real food plus you get the added benefits of all the micro nutrients that you won't get from protein shakes.

                                                    Shakes are only supposed to be a supplement, not a replacement for a good diet.

                                                    A couple of things I'll add

                                                    1) Don't overtrain, most people make this mistake and end up injuring themselves. Your rest days are crucial for recovery.
                                                    2) Get your diet right, having a healthy diet is key. Cut out the junk food and the alcohol
                                                    3) Patience - You're not going to get results overnight so don't give up in the first few weeks
                                                    4) Training partner - Find someone to train with. Not only will this push you but you won't get bored or give up as easily
                                                    5) Do you want a six pack? If so, don't do too much ab work in the beginning because those abs won't be visible until you're below 10% body fat.

                                                    Also it's worth reading sites like Mens Fitness for useful/interesting articles. I can also recommend a few YouTube channels if you're interested

                                                      I have given him all the advice under the sun, I was even at home in Scotland last week, with him 4-5 days and he still won't listen. He trains with my brother, who knows his shit, he is on a solid cut right now and about to start a new bulk in 3-4 weeks. Scotts problem is he is a very fussy eater, he doesn't eat chicken. I laid out his workout plan for him, my brother confirmed it was good to go, I gave him a meal plan but the way he eats, he needs the protein shakes to reach the goal.

                                                      I eat chicken 4-5 days a week, 1 protein shake per day, plenty of nuts, milk, fruit, veggies. Scott won't do much of that. He needs to start eating some boiled eggs for breakfast with some fruit, that would be a huge breakthrough for him.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                              You definitely can do both at the same time and id venture to say you can lose that 13lbs in 1/2 the time you gave yourself. I got my results eating 320G+ carbs a day

                                                                                                    What percentage of guys can bench 2 plates? 10% maybe? I'd call that a club.

                                                                                                    Anyway, I can do 225 for 6 reps and my one rep max is about 260. I'm on my way to 315 if I keep working at it.

                                                                                                    here's some reading...
