Going to hit the gym soon?

[Anonymous]

I don't know what my goal is, I just want to be more muscular and toned all around. Apart from my body though how will my life change?

Will I have a better outlook on life in general?

What about the dating world? I've been single for two years now

Going to the gym will not fix your point of view. The only thing that will do that is therapy and self-relfection. You should still go to the gym, because I think getting fit is a good goal. But it won't magically solve all of your problems. It won't make you less insecure or better at dating - you have to put work into your mindset for that to happen.

I'm never going to therapy. By outlook I mean, will I have a more positive attitude? Lately I've taken some hits and I'm not all that positive right now.

[LaVilaine]

Well, then you're always going to be insecure. Until you can change the way that you think about yourself, nothing that you do to change your outward appearance will make you feel good about yourself. We all go through hard times. Therapy gives you an objective person to bounce ideas off of so that you can relearn how to respond to stimuli. Asking for help doesn't make you weak, but refusing to accept it when it's offered does.

Rather face my problems alone then go to some therapist

That's a common male sentiment, and that is probably why the suicide rate is so high. But to each their own.

YESSSS. Yes to all the questions. Everything will become better in your life.

[Asker]

I hope I get more confident lol

[carinerose]

You will

[ConsultantIsBack]

Yes this! Everything will improve. Everything

You will, I've started to notice this lately but it's not just a physical thing. I am calmer, more focused, stronger, more muscular and I look forward to my workouts which surely has an impact on how you act.

I eat in a different way as well, you are less likely to eat crap because you know it will reduce the potential of improvements so by doing this, you already feel better.

I don't go to the gym though, I do exercises based on Isomotion. By doing this I've built up a better physique and more quickly than I did when I used to do weights. People do not understand how this works so they rarely try it.

The other day a guy I work with asked me how much I lift, when I replied that I didn't, his eyes widened.

I hope I don't get cocky, cos then I would just go against what I am

[mghowmasculinist]

I doubt it, obviously everyone's personality differs. What I've become is an inspiration to others (people tell me this). I've had people telling me they want to get fitter after seeing my results. I don't want to get big either.

I workout 3x a week using 'The Green Giant' and I use a Bullworker to target my abs and back muscles. I used to do barbell and Dumbbells years ago though.

"Apart from my body though how will my life change?"

It won't.

"Will I have a better outlook on life in general? "

No.

"What about the dating world?"

You will attract more attention. This does not mean much for you though. From 1 to a whole 3 girls.

You'll be sexy, healthy and everything in your life will improve

[Asker]

I'm looking forward to it. I don't want to be big. I just want to develop my chest muscles, I already have abs, and develop my back, arms and obviously legs could use some work too lol.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Just work out your whole damn body. The guys that say "i just wanna be toned, work my xxxx muscle group" end up failing. It's an all-or-nothing activity. Focus, be consistent and patient, eat right. Good luck!

[Asker]

Do you go 4 days a week?

[ConsultantIsBack]

5-6 days a week

[Whizzy83]

I have nice shoulders arms chest and ass! Get a lot of looks but my social anxiety suck ass😕. Wish I had the ball to approach all the women that look at me but I think GOD left them on cloud nine..

[NerdInDenial]

Looking better and feeling better will boost your confidence

[anonman32]

[Fearless_banana]

Bench press
Squat
Deadlift

Repeat

[Asker]

Do these work out everything?

[TonyRyanAgain]

Everything gets better when you get hawt.

[Asker]

I'm glad I already have a good face

[TonyRyanAgain]

Then getting a good bod will only help in most aspects, especially your confidence.
