>tfw 1st day in the gym today
>scared shitless beacause dyel as fuck and going to one of those fancy mid-upper class gyms with hot deskgurls and people in expensive shit
>Im just a common autist
What should I avoid? What to remember? My big dillema is whether shoud I wear a hoodie to hide my weakass body or just a tshirt.
Sticky did not prepare me for this.
Also 1st day at the gym general.
Just focus on your lifts and not what others are doing. The first day in the gym is always awkward. You will see dudes and even some women lifting heavier weight than you. It can be disheartening just don't let it discourage you from persevering and meeting your fitness goals!

never rest too little or too long. gymgoers are very specific about this, and each gym has it's own acceptable rest times. they'll get angry if you take too long, or will try to hold you back when you rest too little. I suggest you go there and observe the first couple of days, don't actually train yourself. just watch how long other people rest, maybe write it down in a little notebook. once you think you know exactly how long to rest you're good to go. good luck.

Avoid overthinking things, numbnuts.
Did people run back then?
I see no situation before hunting or bringing a letter to the king where people could run before the invention of sports in 1870s and for a brief period in greece

Im no expert but im pretty sure people always did some kind of exercise in the past. It probably wasnt dull running up the streets or though forests.
But think about the shaolin guys in china or something, climbing up these huge stairs or constantly do jumping kicks or whatever, its just as much cardio as running is.
Running in itself was probably to dull and pointless in the past. But nowdays it is seen as "fit" because 80% of people spend their time with working, watching tv and going on vacation.

jim fixx was the guy that made jogging popular, back in the 70s.
>hunting

I think we can all agree that fried french fries are pretty shit for a diet. But what about baked fries? Our local store has fries w/ 2% fat, the rest seems to be just carbs. How are they any different from just potatoes?
Popcorn has more fiber and lower GI. Eat popcorn instead.

It was fun but over glorified. Don't kill yourself over it.
does running help you lose tit weigh? i saw it in a buzzfeed article and since they are shit and never provide sources, i'm not sure if it was bs.
fuck off and die

Yes OP, running activate the agent responsible for reducing fat around the breast.
Train harder
set a schedule. stick to it. melatonin helps with falling asleep.

Hi guys, first time posting here.
Last year, in april, I got my shoulder nerves injured. My doctor said I couldn't do shit, not even running. I kinda lost it and started eating bad again. Since last month doctor gave me the ok to do some swimming and bodyweight exercise that don't involve the trapezius muscle ( I mostly exercise legs, abs and do pushups right now). So right now I am starting to feel a bit motivated since it won't be much time (maybe 1-2 months I think) since i can hit the gym again. The problem is that my body became shit.
Currently around...

Times has changed, there is literally no point working out in 2016.
>>36453579
For you.
>>36453580
op's post had nothing to do with big guys
>working out for girls
>2016
It's 2016 and you feelfags still haven't realized charisma > strength?
Hey fit, quick question. Can anyone get a nice ass if they do the proper routines? Squats and thrusts, that kind of stuff. My girlfriend wants to get a nice ass but she thinks it's impossible and purely dependent on genetics.
Now go
>>36453560
Also, if she's keen on the booty. I'd go low bar sqwatz
>>36453560
I mean, thank you but... no hip thrusts? Seems like that pic misses a lot of what the nice assed youtube lifers do. Seems a lot more strength-focused, too. Squat reps are low for a girl starting out, and overhead press? Give me a break. Thanks but this just seems like a starting program for a girl who wants to get ripped.
I saw the him today irl and to be honest he wasn't as big as it seems in his videos.
Does the camera add 25 lbs or what?
Jesus christ please don't tell him
I dunno man. I thought he was bigger

Try again another time.
Text her if you can and say that you just remembered you left the oven on so she knows you can cook. That should fix it.
Make sure to send some emojis too.
