What was the biggest problem you had to overcome while starting to work out?
How did you overcome it?
>Kyphosis
It's getting slightly better. Still upsets me I can't and won't ever deadlift
tight as fuck IT bands and bad squat form
foam rolling and lots of practice
Anxiety, tight hip flexors and really shitty joints that would hurt all the time especially shoulders
Fixed anxiety by JUST DOING IT.
Fixed shoulders with various stretches.
Working on the rest.

Just starting out? No fucking problems, everything is easy as shit when you just start out. With the possible exception of a couple of very technical exercises.
It's when you're more experienced and results are hard to come by and you have nagging pains and injuries you have to work around - that's when the big problems happen.
Telling my mama I'm bulking, and then food comas.
Fucked up my chest doing only machine bench for the first few months and going way too heavy. Not sure what exactly it was, but the sides of my pectorals hurt like fuck whenever i did any chest exercise for like 4 years.
When I got back into it, I did SS the right way, but learned I can't keep to a 3/week schedule. It's so much easier if I just go daily, for some reason

lol shouldnt you be in a wheelchair mr hunchback?
Anxiety of actually going.
I ended up forcing myself to either go with someone or just go immediately after school/work and only do one thing at least. For the latter I would be like well I'm already started, might as well do it all.
Also bench press alone. I figured I could just do whatever and eventually one time I went a little too heavy alone. barely made it out Asked a guy to spot me one time and he scared the shit out of me
Soreness and proper nutrition
Working out with DOMS
Not being a little bitch
i have really severe depression but cannot kill myself due to guilt from my baptist family.
I have extreme mood changes on a regular basis so i keep to my self as to not inconvenience strangers :^)
