It is a lot of work, but the benefits much outweigh the time expended.
And I can't help myself from laughing at your last sentence...You can't be bothered?
Seems devotion and motivation are in short supply these days!And it's really quite inexpensive my friend. A $20 Gym Membership or $50 worth of dumbells is really all you need to get going

I've wanted to start a workout system for myself for over 5 years now, ive tried at-home stuff... free weights, sittups, pushups, etc. but I feel like it's just not enough. So i want to join a gym, badly. It's inspiring to see that someone else who has SA has found it beneficial for gaining respect and confidence.
I think i'll sign up next month at the local gym. Probably the best move i'll ever make. However, I heard that working out 5 days a week is the best way to go, but I see you only do it 3 days a week. Is it better to leave more time between workouts for your muscles to rebuild?

Dude ive been doing the same thing. Ive been lifting for about a year and a half now and my confidence has boosted. It makes me feel so good whenever I have a nice lift and when I catch girls loooking at me. haha. These girls are the ones that I used to be afraid to talk to at school, and then once they see me at the local gym its just like "haha yeah im not the pussy you think I am anymore." Feels so good
By the way mustang... what do you think of creatine? Ive been taking it the whole time that ive been lifting. Should I stop bc I heard that you can really screw up your kidneys.

If you have $50 I'd suggest buying weights. Low, Moderate, and a Heavy weight is all you need. You can only go so far using your body weight as a exercise device in muscle building; you can get toned as hell, but putting on weight will be extremely difficult.
-pushups
-incline pushups
-decline pushups
-sit ups
-chin ups
-weighted jogging/walking(pack a backpack full of books or anything heavy and walk or jog with it for 5-10 mins.)

If you have time to do 5 days a week than by all means my friend do it. I do 3 days a week due to my school/work schedule. Depending on the area of the body you worked before you may or may not need to rest between workout days. So if you do Biceps/Triceps/Delts/and Forearms on Monday...And Tuesday you do Legs....You won't need to rest because it's two different parts of the body that won't get overtrained if you work two days in a row.
With working out 5 days a week make sure to get sufficient rest; sleeping in and napping can be your best friend. :wink:

Glad to hear you've gained confidence man!

You won't technically screw up your kidneys; you'll just get kidney stones. Same as if you drank too much soda. Kidney stones aren't normally dangerous but they can hurt like hell...They range in shape and size...Some are rock shaped, some are spiked like a Sea Urchin. I don't think you want to try and pass one of those babies. Keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water and you should be fine. Try and keep an eye on your urination habbits...Taking a piss 4+ times a day is a good range...If your urine is dark, drink more...if it's clear, your doing good to keep your kidneys flushed.

This was an awesome thread.
Here you see people actively trying to do something about their problems, and getting positive results.
Then you have those who doubt the effectiveness of what is talked about, and aways by presupposing that it's not worth it or that it's too much work.
Stop presupposing it won't work, try it out for yourself. Laziness more likely goes away by doing more things, ironically. Not doing anything, isolating yourself, that's when we're the laziest.
I've also heard that getting in shape does wonders for anyone. Girls like you more, guys respect you more (punks fear you; that's ok with me!).
I'm going to start in a fighting art, possibly jiu jitsu. $120/month.
Hopefully I can make friends there too, in addition to having fun and developing useful skills AND getting fit.
