So lets fucking do it! (discomfortischange's log) 26 Nov 2017 11:02 #294919

Finally went to the gym on Monday 20th thinking about all the GLL stuff I have read and all the motivational dudes ( www.goodlookingloser.com/forums/beat-app...t-people-think-of-me ). I just needed to do it if I wanted to start a better life.

So I just got in and signed up.
Actually I wanted to start training at Wednesday, but I got sick. So I am gonna hit the gym tomorrow.

Getting 20 that year, it's time for CHANGE

So, hit the gym today. Realized how fucking self conscious I am. I always thought the other gym guys watch me and laugh about my bad form and my weak body. Social anxiety sucks so hard. I was afraid to go to the free weight lifting area after a guy told me that he started with the machines, because it's easier (altough he was just friendly). Another guy showed me how to train on some machines. Still thought they make fun about me. My social anxiety is fucking deep, holy shit.

I was lucky to have a physical trainer when I was in high school with athlete friends and took weighttraining in college so I had alot of in person training with certified professionals and brofessionals. Try to get resources like that even if you have to hire them or at the minimum STUDY FORM at www.bodybuilding.com/ before you can expect gainz

You want to understand what movements and angles stimulate what part of the body. I would recommend starting with machines for this. Once you understand isolated movements and what muscles do what, start with full body routines which start with compound exercises with some isolations after that in each workout (squats, deadlifts -- be careful with form and start with just the bar so you can feel the muscle recruitment). You want to see your form in the mirror and feel the targeted muscles working and fatiguing. Not knowing what proper form FEELS LIKE is a slippery slope to injury or non-optimal gainz

For example, if you start on the leg extension machine (narrow legs, slow negatives) and feel a burn you recognize how QUADS feel when they are firing. Doing some basic hip bridges or hunched leg abduction you'll feel your GLUTES isolated. That way when you get into compound exercises like squats you can FEEL the full recruitment at the right points of motion. Hit every fucking machine in there and find out which ones are your "MONEY" exercises

Just remember. Any cunt that disses you in the gym is a massive piece of shit. Most will never say shit to you and don't care about you at all so don't worry.

I had a personal training when I began working out and he had me doing the weirdest shit and people would legit stare at me. I'd do farmer carries around the gym when the gym was super busy. I never did anything conventional. (1 arm dumbbell press, single leg romanian deadlift, front squat etc..)

Honestly, don't worry about it. You're there to improve just like everyone else.

Was training on Monday at another gym (I can go to both gyms for a little higher price, because they are of the same chain).
Well, at the beginning I tried some lighter machines such as shoulder press and leg press. After that I surmounted myself to go to the free weights area. Well I started off with some bench press, a dude helped me with my form. After that he showed me how to do some dumbbell bench press. And holy shit, free weights feel so much different than pushups. The stabilizing itself is really hard in the beginning.

So I trained on Wednesday (yesterday) as well. After some warm up with lighter weight at some lighter machines I started straight with variations of bench press, dumbbell press and some other similiar arm exercises.

My arms were fucking shaking as hell. Is that normal when you are new to weightlifting? I bench pressed 20-30 kg (I took the weights off because of the shaking). Does it take a while for your body to adapt to the new activity? When doing pushups I can do 25-40 (depends on the day). 60% of bodyweight --> 40kg

Also I weighted myself yesterday and had 60kg after eating, took a shit then tho :side:
I woke up and just had 58.7 kg. My metabolism is so fucking fast, it's annoying. Even tho I took a shit, it should be higher, shouldnt it?

I ate around 3400 kcal yesterday, burned 841 kcal (I walk easily 6-7 hours ONLY through transporting patients in a hospital, burned 700 kcal there, the rest in the gym). I am 172 cm tall, my TSH is around 1.2 miU/l (low tsh speaks for a fast metabolism what I have heard).
520g carbohydrates
103.3g protein
103.7g fat

Drank at least 2.5 litres.

I know the eating wasnt optimal yesterday (I should eat far more protein). Can you give me some tips? What is a cheap but effective protein supp?

You worry way too much :P Everything is normal and it'll get more normal. Glad to see you're still on board though! I just replied your PM that you sent like months ago.

Definitely up the protein. Your metabolism ain't even that fast, for example my maintenance calories are 'round 4500kcal. Easy protein: eggs and egg whites, crack them into a dish cook them in the microwave and throw that shit right into a blender with some oats, bananas etc. for carbs. Beef, chicken, cod etc. Supps should only be the last resort. Personally I don't even use a protein powder and I eat 300g of protein per day. Also double your drinking.

YOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks for the reply, I just came home from a fun night partying. I havent been that motivated for a long time, so I just had to access GLL now. I will make another post cuz I always tend to be so unmotivated going out and not being interested in people (just so unmotivated that I just lame ass talk to the other person, that the person recognizes it). But as said today it was different.

Well actually, I trained on Friday as well. I had thoughts of "lets go on Saturday, it doesnt matter", "you know what, you can skip one day", "the whole training thing isnt for you". But I convinced myself again, that I just need to fucking do it for getting a life/getting better results in my whole life. Well I got a much better form (still far from perfect but fine for the beginning I think), my arms werent shaking as much.

But I only can 6-8 times bench press 30kg at the moment, maybe I will do more when I get a better form. 30kg isnt that much, right, even for a beginner? Well you are probably right about not overcomplicating everything.

Cheers :whistle:

You'll get stronger. Just do 5x5 or whatever and increase the weight by 2.5kg every time. If you bench 3x per week then start with 20kg on Monday and you'll do 25 on Friday, then 27.5 the next Monday, and up to 32.5 on the next Friday already. Eat plenty.

Weighted myself yesterday after going out:60.3 kg
waking up: 58.7 kg

Was on the toilet tho yesterday and at the morning.

Probably I need to weigh myself at a fixed time. I will weigh myself again after lunch.

How tall are you? I am 172 cm, I try to eat around 3000 cals a day.

Ok, training on Monday was cool.

Form got better again, less shaking. Doing 4-6 reps for most sets.
Wasting some time tho, because sometimes I dont know how to do some exercises and watch a yt vid. Don't want to ask guys how to do it all the time.
