I encourage all men regardless of the shape you are currently in to start lifting weights. A simple routine consisting of a few lifts that you will stick to and do religiously is a fine start.

Its a pretty simple commitment that will have a positive impact on all aspects of your life both physically and mentally.

If you would like help setting up a simple routine I'm happy to help, I have 20 year experience. 6 months from now with minimal commitment you can see some big changes in yourself.

I’m doing a high rep 5 day split and integrating RPT. It’s killer, I love it, but the CNS/Overtraining feels make me take a day off in-between. I hate it! Sore for 4-7 days after legs, especially but man it gets the results. For example:

Legs
4 sets leg press 20-30 reps 228x30,208x30, 188x30, 168x30
3 sets hack squat 15-20 reps 55x20, 45x20, 35x20
3 sets leg extensions 25-50 reps (that's right 25 to 50 reps, haha) 20x50, 15x50, 10x50
3 sets straight leg deadlifts 10-15 reps 105x15x3
3 sets leg curls 20-30 reps 75x30, 65x30,55x30
3 sets seated calf raises 20-30 reps 25x30, 0x30,
3 sets standing calf raised 15-25 reps 150x25, 135x22

If anyone who reads this comment are one of the guys who have tried the gym routine of using machines only or have done some callistetics and then decided or found out you don't like working out: try lifting weight ffs, it is nothing like two former.

lifting is so fun. Just find the lifts you enjoy and do those.

Yeah, many people have convinced themselves there are certain exercises they MUST do if they are going to train, if they don't like those they might as well do nothing.

you are exactly right. people greatly overcomplicate exercise become overwhelmed and quit. just keep it simple and do the stuff you enjoy. that is perfectly enough and will produce great results.

There you are! Was it something I said? I just got a heavy duty squat rack. Olympic bar and plates.

Staying positive is like building muscle. it takes effort and dedication but if you do it long enough and stay consistent it becomes easier over time. my life is far from perfect, i have no friends and spend almost all of my time alone but i'm happy as fuck. genuinely happy. i rewired my brain years ago to keep a good attitude and it has served me well. glad you are doing better.
