I've never been following this kind of stuff much, but I guess people does this more like for having a better look when they aren't satisfied with themselves or something like that.

For me, bodybuilding is about achieving my ideal self (my superego), but I'm sure people have variety of answers for that question.MoF10 wrote:
i don't understand why people bodybuild
sure i understand that you want muscles, but to that point, why?
A risk of injury exists only if your form is fucked up, that's why beginners should learn the basics before moving to heavier weights or doing stuff like deadlifts.Wlesh wrote:

Bodybuilding fan here. About a year ago I started working out but didn't get serious about it for quite awhile. Looking through some progress pictures, the thing I'm most proud of is my back development. A little backstory first:
About 4 years ago I got seriously addicted to computers and wound up laying in bed on my laptop for the entirety of every day. This became a huge issue in my life because I lost nearly all the muscle I had from it and I couldn't even walk to the bathroom without holding on to the wall (I didn't really know any moderation). So coming from that style of life, making a change in myself by working out was a huge deal. I didn't ever expect to be strong, or to have a ton of muscle, because when I started I had absolutely none (and was weak as hell). I'm not big by any means but I've come a long ways. This back picture from a few weeks ago makes me feel a bit proud because I've never had any muscle on my back before, so this is really proof of my efforts for me.
Bro i invite u to go to the gym, start working out and make it a lifestyle mate, u dont know how good u feel about yourself when u start noticing dem gainz and if u really enjoy it it's funny as fuuuuarrkkkRosaryn wrote:
Yeah, I train my fingers every day...Joke aside, I used to be interested in bodybuilding but never took it seriously, meaning that I just did, and still do, some normal exercises, 10 mins per day, and that was pretty much it.

I started doing bodybuilding with my cousin this February.
I was a fat little cunt playing videogames 24/7 without noticing the fact that there is a real world outside and everytime I got out I was ashamed of myself, and my cousin was almost anorexic where you could see his skeleton under the skin.
We decided to start a new year with a new life and lift with all the motivation possible; it soon developed to be both an addiction and a habit: even if I felt soreness and pain, I would always be proud of myself. Everyday I'm better than the day before.
We just wanted to feel special so we tried our best for all this year, leading to very promising results: he gained 20 kilograms and I went from 25% bf to around 14%, becoming A LOT more comfortable in my own body, leading to an increased confidence.
Fast forward to today, and I'm doing a strenght program for 2 months which happened to be the best days of my bb experience. I gained so much power.
So stop being a bitch and play less videogames, get big and find friends.

Thanks for the help man!eeezzzeee wrote:
Interesting to see a thread like this on osu! I don't have any interesting story to share though. I've been athletic pretty much all my life, competitive swimming from age 8 all the way through highschool, then started lifting and its been a little more than 2 years now though I have taken breaks sometimes lol
But here's some very general tips for guys who are just starting/want to get into lifting, because I think there's a few of you here xD
1 - Don't feel shy, nervous, intimidated, whatever just because there's a lot of big guys there. This is actually a huge reason why a lot of people don't want to go, but it really makes no sense. Everyone was skinny (or fat) at one point. In fact, most people at the gym are happy to start conversation or help you if you ask!
2 - Start light! Just like how in osu you have to start on easy beatmaps, lifting you have to start with light weight that you can be confident with. Try to develop the proper motions for the exercise to feel natural before moving up weight, which brings me to the next point
3 - Practice the proper technique for your exercises. Getting a good workout is all about ripping up the right group of muscles, not about how much weight you can pretend to lift. So if you can't go all the way down on a bench, don't cheat yourself by going halfway! Drop the weight and try again
4 - You might feel like shit the day after, sore and everything. But I guarantee after 1 month or so lifting will feel great, you won't even notice the soreness and feeling swollen big after a workout is just great!
If you're not gaining strenght, you're probably not eating enough or not doing sets with heavy enough weight in the optimal rep range of 8-12 for building muscleSnowflakeStreet wrote:
Well I started lifting a couple of months ago and eating with the goal of getting strong and improving my physique but I don't think I would call myself a bodybuilder.
It's fun but my lifts are starting to stall which is kinda lame. >_>
I cannot emphasize this enough. Having worked in physical therapy for the last almost five years, people who injure themselves overworking are second only to the people who hurt from NEVER working.eeezzzeee wrote:

Week 26 No shirts below Back Abs
It wasn't easy getting to this level, to tell you the truth, i never even imagined I would become so strong. Just when I started out I was barely even able to lift anything in the gym and I felt like a waste of space to even be there. Everyone is always staring at what you can do and I felt like crap since I was so weak. But today, I'm glad I went through with it, I'm glad I spend so much time at the gym, because it was all worth it. If i can do it, you can do it too.
