Oh okay good! Sorry, hadn’t caught up yet sorry if that was a repeat of what anyone had said or anything! just figured I’d clarify cause not everyone was on the mayo thread or read everything which is understandable considering how huge and fast moving it was but yeah, all this stuff came up over there so we figured we’d make a new one and yeah. Sorry

You made pretty valid points, nothin wrong with that.

If anything I think I need to eat more with all this exercise I feel like I could eat a whole cow after swimming or riding my bike.

For me, I dont have any weight I need to lose and I just want to build more muscle.

One thing..if you are inexperienced, please get help. Don’t tear yourself up, muscle damage can really harm your kidneys. Don’t let weightlifting be like running in junior high, where they force you onto a track until you throw up and decide to only run for the rest of your life if killers or supernatural creatures are after you. There’s a terrific book on learning to run, by James..something, about incorporating walking. First, just start by walking. After a week, break your walking into either five, or ten minute segments depending on how long you go, and insert one minute per each five or ten of a minimal jog. Minimal. Then each week, increase by one minute. When I ”ran,” I think my final routine was ten minutes of “run‘’ or jog really, one minute of walk, and I could go 13 miles at a very leisurely pace, always keeping that walking minute in each group of ten, and it was both easy, and pleasurable. Make weightlifting the same by getting experienced help. Edit..you’ll learn about “negatives,” if you’ve never been able to do a push-up, first, you learn proper form..then, you start by simply starting in the “up” position, and slowly, controlled, let yourself down. Then, after a while, you can hold yourself just above the floor before you go all the way down. Soon, you’ll be able to push yourself back up, and do real push-ups..balance in weightlifting is super important, in that you don’t want to strengthen one set of muscles without strengthening their opposites..

Start caring about your weight.
Obese is not healthy.

Grab some hand weights to start.

^ This. I think I wasted several months of strength training simply by not eating enough.

I eat whatever I feel like (within reason).
I try and go for a 4 mile run 5 days a week.
These past two weeks I haven't been due to busyness and it's surprising how the stomach starts to bulge again with all the eating and no exercising.

I did try weights at one point but I just couldn't see the point of it to be honest. I'm not really particularly interested in looking like a gorilla .

Excercise enough and you'll become a healthy person.

I hang posters of silverbacks in my workout room to motivate me.
