So I’m a gay 23 man that lacks confidence. I have been told I attractive but I’m super skinny. My dream has always to become buff and maybe even a bodybuilder one day. The problem is that I’ve been super weak. I’ve paid two personal trainers for help but I couldn’t afford them. Now I’m starting up going by myself again but I fear that my lack of knowledge won’t help me become fit. I want to become a gym rat, but I can’t get up enough I’m the mornings to go. I need help and tips. I really want to build up my fitness endurance and strength.
Ok...
So....... Let's break this into two parts.
First, you lack knowledge about working out.
LOTS of resource material out there.
Athlean x is a good source, as mentioned earlier.
But, if you want bare bones, back to basics info, I'd get a copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's encyclopedia of bodybuilding.
It's pretty much the entry level bible for newbies. My girl and I have a copy of it on our bookshelf right now.
Those would be excellent jumping off points.
As far as the not being able to get up and go.....
Being in shape/buff/a bodybuilder is your "dream"..... But, you can't get out of bed??
Well... To be blunt... You must not want it that bad.
What's your fear?
You'll get laughed at?.... Not gonna happen.
Every single person in the gym started in a similar spot as you.
And, even if they did have a chuckle, who cares??
If you want this that badly, you'll get up and go.
There's no magic pill that will make you suddenly brimming with confidence.
Life can be uncomfortable at times.
Either lay there and take the beating your mind is dishing out....
Or get up and get in the fight.
I was 5'9" and 115 lbs when I started.
I hated it. Every single minute, I hated it.
So, I read up on working out/ nutrition & did something about it.
Do it..... Or don't.
It's up to you & how badly you want it.
