I rst started liing weights when

I was a scrawny little 17 year old
and I havent looked back since.
(<<< This is actually a photo of me

just before I started liing)
(Its not, but its still funny)
Aer seeing all the incredible

benets Ive had from liing, this
article is my attempt to convince
you that it was something you
need to add into your daily
routine.
So, without further ado, I present:
20 Ways That Lifting

Weights Will
Transform Your Life

Contrary to popular belief, there
are more benets to liing weights
than bulging biceps and a rock
hard 6 pack. FAR more.
And if youre sitting at home on

your arse when you could be in a
gym, here are 20 things that youre
missing out on.
1. Increases self
belief
The core essence of building inner
condence and self belief is setting
goals that appear beyond your
capabilities and working towards
them in a consistent and
committed manner until you
achieve them.
This is liing weights in a nutshell.
When you start out youll be weak

like a little kitten. Dont worry,
everyone is. Then you set yourself
a goal that seems FAR beyond
whats possible as you start
working towards it. Step by step.
Taking little steps every day,
gradually improving until, all of a
sudden, youre doing things that a
few months ago seemed
impossible.
That gives you a massive boost in

condence. You prove to yourself,
not just logically know, but have
actual, rst hand experience, that if
you set yourself goals and work
towards them, you can achieve
anything.
What would change about your life
if you had this belief? What would
change about the way you live your
life if you knew that you just
needed to apply yourself to a goal
and eventually youd reach it?
Well, this is what youll get by

liing weights.
Not convinced to start hitting the

gym just yet? Thats ok. What
about this:
2. You learn goal

setting, planning,
prioritisation,
and discipline.
Goal setting, planning, and
prioritisation are CRUCIAL skills
in building the life you want. If you
cant set a goal, then youll never
achieve that goal. If you cant plan
for that goal, youll never achieve it
because you wont have a
structured and systematic way of
getting there. If you cant prioritise
your activities, then youll forever
be doing little things that arent
actually getting you where you
want to be. And if you dont have
the discipline to stick with those
priorities and keep pushing
forward, then the best laid plans
will go to waste.
How do you get better at this?

There are a few tricks and
techniques you can learn but the
more important element is
practicing it in an area of your life
that you actually care about. This is
because you can see the benets of
using it and the benets that come
from being good at it.
Liing weights is the perfect space

to practice goal setting, planning,
and prioritisation because its the
fastest and easiest way to improve.
If you dont know the goals you

want to achieve (lose fat, gain
muscle, improve strength, increase
endurance, increase muscle
denition, etc), youll never get
there because each goal requires a
dierent workout routine.
If you dont plan properly, youll

end up wasting workouts. If you
workout before your muscles have
had a chance to recover, you wont
be able to get the maximum
benet out of your workout. If you
wait too long aer theyve
recovered, you will lose the gains
you made on the previous
workout.
If you dont learn to prioritise your

time properly, you wont be able to
keep to the plan that youve made
and youll suer the same
problems that you face if you just
dont plan at all.
And if you dont have the

discipline to follow through on
your plan and work through to
your goals, you will waste all the
goals youve achieved in the
previous weeks.
What would be dierent about
your life if you could set goals,
plan eectively for them, were able
to prioritise your time to meet that
plan and had the discipline to carry
out those plans? How much easier,
simpler, and more rewarding
would life be?

liing weights.
Still not convinced to start liing

weights just yet? Well, maybe this
will convince you:
3. Its an
automatic
wardrobe
upgrade
When you work out, your clothes
automatically look better on you.
Instead of looking like rags draped
over an emaciated wire coat
hanger or a drop sheet hung over a
sack of potatoes, theres solid, rm
muscle lling out all the right
places and empty space where
space should be.
Your T-shirts will ll out around

the sleeves, across the shoulders,
through the chest, and give you
that nice v-shaped back.
Youll have thighs to ll out your

shorts and an arse to actually ll
out your jeans.

if you felt like you looked good in
the clothes you wore? What would
change if you felt condent and
well presented walking into clubs?

liing weights.
Still not convinced to start working

out? Well, maybe this will convince
you:
4. Youll become
better at other
activities
When youre stronger, tter, have
more endurance, and are more
explosive, youre automatically
better at other activities.
When you play sports with the

other guys in the oce, you
become an asset rather than a
liability. When you kick the ball
around with your mates, you can
keep going longer than you used to
be able to. When youre throwing
the ball around with your kids, you
dont have to sit down whilst
theyre still full of energy.
On top of this, because a lot of lis

(especially big, combination lis
like squats and power cleans)
require high levels of muscular
coordination, you will become
more coordinated. The basic
movements needed to be good at
most activities will become more
natural and, if theyre not, youll be
able to learn them much faster.
if all the other activities in your life
suddenly became easier and more
natural?
Well, this is what youll get from

liing weights.
Still not convinced yet? Maybe this

will convince you:
5. Youll be
better in bed
Of all the activities you get better
at, this is probably the one that will
make the most dierence to your
relationships with women.
When you work out and are in

shape, your endurance goes up and
up and up. Instead of running out
of breath in 10 minutes and
needing a cigarette, you can keep
going and going and going and
going. Then you can take a break
and get going again.
Instead of having her leave the

next morning wondering why she
wasted her entire night for that 10
minutes of inadequate panting,
shell be wondering whether or not
she REALLY has to go to work
today
Which sounds better to you?
Well, this is what youll get from

liing weights.
Still not convinced to start liing

weights? Well, maybe this will
convince you:

6. Makes your
life easier
When youre strong, t, and in-
shape, every physical activity in life
becomes easier. Climbing stairs is
simple, carrying heavy objects is a
breeze, and you start to look
forward to have to rearrange the
oce because you feel like its a
challenge you can take on.
Oh, because everything is easier,

by the time you get home at night,
you dont feel so exhausted that
you have to waste the rest of the
night away in front of the TV
because youre too tired to move.
You get home feeling fresh,

energetic, and excited to get out
and take on more challenges and
do more exciting things.

if you get home every day feeling
strong, fresh, and ready to take on
the world?

liing weights.

will convince you:
7. Reduces the
risk of every
major lifestyle
disease
When youre in shape, you reduce
the risk of EVERY major lifestyle
disease. Depending on how
dedicated you are, your risk of
diabetes, heart disease, stroke, a
few kinds of cancer, and even black
plague are all reduced.
That means that not only will you

live longer and have that longer life
be more rewarding, exciting, and
fullling, but you can live that life
worrying less about what could
happen to you in that time.
This is what you can get liing

weights.

will convince you:
8. Meet athletic
and condent
women
What kind of women do you think
go to gyms?
The kind of woman who not only

values her health and takes care of
how she looks and feels, but also
women who have the
determination and self belief to
take responsibility into their own
hands and do something about it.
You meet condent, strong,

determined women who take
responsibility for their life.

if you were surrounded by these
kinds of women and also had
something you could talk to them
about (eg. Working out)?
Well, this is what youll get liing

weights.

will convince you:
9. Forces you to
look after your
diet
One of the things youll learn very
quickly is that you can amplify
your results in the gym 10 fold by
looking aer your diet.
You can get leaner, stronger, more

ripped, and workout harder, just by
eating the right things.
And because youll be able to see

and feel a real and tangible
dierence in your workouts from
eating well, youll be more likely to
stick to it.

if you could see and feel a direct
correlation between eating well
and moving forward with your life?
Would you be more likely to do it?
Well, thats what youll get when

you start working out.
Still not convinced? Maybe this will

convince you:
10. Teaches you

a new skill
Theres more to working out than
just pushing heavy things around a
mirrored room. Theres a proven
science behind maximising gains
in the gym. If you get into it,
theres a lot you can learn and have
a great time learning.
This keeps your brain active rather

than wasting it away in front of a
computer monitor.

if you had something interesting to
keep learning about rather than
just wanting to waste your time
away in front of the TV?
Well, this is what youll get liing

weights.
Still not convinced? Maybe this will

convince you:
11. Develop the

habit of pushing
through fear
When youre standing underneath
a barbell with it racked across your
shoulders and more than your
body-weight stacked along its
sides, thighs burning from the last
3 sets youve already completed
and sweat dripping down into your
eyes, theres a certain amount of
fear that comes with thinking
about your next rep.
It takes courage, commitment, and

dedication to drop your arse down
and push through. And then even
more to do the next. And the next.
And the next.
But by doing so, youre teaching

yourself a VERY valuable lesson:
fear is not in control.
Youre proving to yourself that you

can experience fear and take action
anyway.
Can you think of any area of your

life where this might come in
handy?
How about when youre walking

down the street and you see that
stunning Spanish beauty gliding
towards you? How about when you
start thinking about approaching
and feel that fear rise inside you?
Imagine all the times in your life

where youve known that taking
action was the right thing to do but
you let fear dictate how you lived
your life. Imagine how much
dierent your life would have been
today if youd proven to yourself
multiple times every day, that you
had the ability to act despite fear.
Imagine how dierent your life
would have been right now
Thats the dierence you can get

from liing weights.
Convinced yet? Well, maybe this

will convince you:
12. More
(positive)
attention from
women
When you look good and feel
condent and strong, more women
will notice you.
Youll stand out in a crowd rather

than fading into the generic
background of overweight,
miserable, needy people, and
women will want to talk to you.
How much easier do you think it

would be to meet more women if
women were already interested in
you before you approached them?
Well, thats what you can get from

liing weights.
Still not convinced? Well, maybe

this will convince you:
13. Puts you

outside your
comfort zone
Nestling yourself rmly inside
your comfort zone is a wonderful
and pleasant thing to do. Its also
the fastest and surest way to
mediocrity.
Why? Because if you keep doing

what youve been doing, youll
keep getting what youve always
been getting.
To really live a rewarding, fullling,

and exciting life, you need to
continually push beyond your
comfort zone and try new things.
Liing weights will help you do

that.
For starters, if youve never been
inside a gym, they can be scary
places lled with weird people
doing stranger movements on even
stranger machines.
But even if you have, liing

weights is ALL about putting
yourself outside your comfort
zone and challenging yourself.
The body is an adaptive organism

that responds to new stresses. Once
it encounters new challenges (ie.
Heavier weights), it developes the
abilities to be able to deal with
those new challenges (ie. Muscles).
If you dont keep pushing your

comfort zone (ie. Adding more
weights and doing dierent
exercises), your body does not
develop new responses (ie.
Building more muscle).
So, to continue to see gains

through liing weights, you have
to constantly push yourself beyond
your comfort zone.

if you constantly pushed yourself
beyond your comfort zone?
Well, thats what you can get by

liing weights.
Still not convinced? Well, maybe

14. Gets you out

of your head and
into your body
Im sure you know the incredible
benets of being in your body and
being present with women, rather
than being stuck in your head and
over-analytical.
What you might not know is that

being in your body and not
analysing the situation is a skill that
you develop.
The more time you spend logically

analysing a situation, the more
natural it becomes to analyse
situations.
The more time you spend feeling

and being in your body, the more
natural it becomes to be in your
body and just experience the
moment.
One of the great things about

liing weights is that its an activity
that focuses on feeling rather than
thinking.
Yes, there are times when you have

to think about what youre doing
and how youre doing it but the
majority of the time is spend
feeling where your limits are,
how much you have le, whether
your form is right, etc
The more time you spend feeling

your way through activities rather
than thinking your way through,
the easier and more natural it
becomes to feel your way through
other activities, like meeting
women.
if you were more present and less
analytical when interacting with
women?
Well, thats what you can get from

liing weights.
STILL not convinced? Well, maybe

15. Meet guys

whore also
committed to
building a quality
life
If youre anything like most guys,
the further down this path of
becoming the Man of your dreams
you get, the less and less you nd
you have in common with your old
friends.
Dont stress, thats totally normal.

When you decide to stop
complaining and take full
responsibility for your life
situation, hanging out with people
who still want to bitch and moan
and settle for mediocrity just
seems less and less productive.
That leaves a hole in your life and

one that youll undoubtedly want
to ll.
But where can you meet other guys

whore committed to taking
control of their lives, whore
willing to push through challenges
and barriers to become the Man
they want to be, have the
condence to branch out and try
new things?
At the gym of course!
Liing weights is a great way to

meet more mates whore also
willing to take life by the horns and
push towards their goals.
Now, Im not saying that all the

guys you meet will be like that, but
youve got a far higher chance than
sitting around on your arse playing
xbox.
STILL not convinced to start

liing? Well, maybe this will
convince you:
16. Increase
Testosterone
Testosterone is the raw chemical
building block thats responsible
for your manliness. Its whats
responsible for your level of
aggression, determination, and
willingness to ght for what you
believe in.
Scientic studies have shown that

guys with higher testosterone
levels are not only more attractive
to women but also, generally more
successful in life (still looking for
those references).
The good thing for you is that your

levels of testosterone arent set.
Theyre completely exible and
you can increase your levels of
testosterone through various
activities.
Some activities involve changing

your diet, whilst others involve
liing weights.
Yes, thats right. Liing weights is a

great and simple way to increase
your testosterone ESPECIALLY
big, full body movements like
squats and Olympic lis (clean and
jerk, hang clean, etc).

if you had more aggression,
determination, and drive to
achieve your goals?
Well, thats what you can get

through liing weights.

17. Learn the

value of working
hard for
something
Modern technology is great at
serving solutions up on a plate. 8
Minute Abs, click button
purchasing, and fast food have all
instilled the idea that everything
should be instant.
This causes a lot of problems,

especially when it comes to
changing your life, because the
patterns youre attempting to
change take time to change.
Youve been reinforcing these old
habits of running away from fear
and blaming other people for your
life situation for many years and
they dont go away overnight.
When a lot of guys realise this,

they give up and run back to their
safe, comfortable cave. Theyre just
not used to working hard for
anything in their life and so when
theyre faced with a challenge, they
give up.
Liing weights is a great place to

learn the value of hard work.
Nothing comes easy when youre

lying on your back under a barbell
with 100kg stacked on the sides
and your mate yelling down at you
for one more rep.
Everything you get in a gym, you

have to earn.
Even with all the latest

advancements in chemicals and
hormones, you still have to put the
hard work in on your end to get
any real improvements from them.
No quick xes are going to get you

results. Your fat isnt going to melt
away by sitting in the sauna and
your biceps arent going to pu up
by standing under the hot showers.
Everything you get, you have to

earn.
But in saying that, if you put the

hard yards in, you will get returns.
Your body will change and you will
see results.

if you stopped waiting for a quick
x and you started putting in the
hard yards?
This is what youll get from liing

weights.

18. You just feel

better
Do you ever just feel down? Like
things are too much?
Do you struggle feeling at and

depressed?
Well, I have a solution. Theres a

simple and incredibly benecial
activity you can participate in that
increases the levels of endorphins
(feel good chemicals) that your
body produces.
Its called: liing weights.
If youve never pushed yourself to

absolute exhaustion in the pursuit
of physical perfection then you
might not know what Im talking
about, but the feeling you get when
youve collapsed on the benches in
the change room aer a massive
workout is unparalleled.
There are feel good chemicals

running through your body and
you feel on top of the world. Its as
close to really good sex as you can
get by yourself.

if you had a simple and quick way
to feel happy and fullled,
regardless of whats going on in the
world around you?
Well, thats what you can

experience by liing weights.
STILL not convinced? Here are 2

more reasons why liing weights
will transform your life:
19. Reduces the

possibility of
physical
confrontation
Its a sad fact of life that there are
guys out there whore just looking
for a ght.
And whilst its best just to avoid

them, sometimes they just go out
of their way to try and create
reasons to get in a ght.
Whilst liing weights and getting

stronger wont help you defend
yourself against a trained ghter, it
will make average Joes think twice
before starting trouble with you.
Being bigger, stronger, and tter
doesnt automatically make you a
better ghter, but it does put doubt
in the back of most guys heads.

if the fear of physical
confrontation was reduced to
almost non-existent?
Well, thats what you can get

through liing weights.
STILL not convinced? Well, heres

my last ditch eort:
20. You look

good naked
Purely and simply.
The Too long, didnt

read Summary
In case you couldnt be bothered
reading the whole thing and just
skipped to the end, here are the 20
ways that liing weights will
transform your life:
Feel incredibly powerful and

happy
Become physically stronger
Less afraid of confrontation
Increase condence
Reduce your risk of every
major lifestyle disease
Develop discipline, time
management, and
prioritisation
Automatic upgrade for your
wardrobe
Get better at other activities
Get better in bed
Make your day-to-day life
easier
Consistently and condently
push through fear
Meet lots of condent
women you have things in
common with
Keep your brain active
Get more attention from
women
Push outside your comfort
zone
Get out of your head and into
your body
Meet other guys whore also
committed to building a
quality life
Increase your testosterone
Teach you the value of hard
work
You look good naked
And SO much more
If just one of these sounds like a

change youd like to see in your
life, then I HIGHLY recommend
you get your pale, white, pimply
arse into a gym.
If two or more of these are changes

that you could really see benet in,
then there should be no questions
about it.
Why liing weights and not just

sport in general?
Yes, you can get a lot of these

benets from doing other forms of
exercise, but there are two main
reasons why Ive specically
focussed on liing weights and
why I believe its more benecial
than other forms of exercise:
1. Its the only activity that

gives you everything
Obviously, liing is not the only
way to achieve all these dierent
benets individually, but liing
weights is the ONLY place to get
ALL of them in one go.
You can get certain elements from

a Sunday morning boot camp, you
can get others from playing
football, you can get even more
from martial arts, but liing
weights is the ONLY place you get
ALL of them in one go.
2. Incremental measurements
One of the elements that sets

liing weights apart from other
physical activities is your ability to
measure your gains in the tiniest of
increments.
You can measure:
1 extra rep
An extra kilogram of weight
on the bar
The loss of 1cm from your
waist line
The addition of 1cm to your
arm girth
The ability to see progress in the

smallest of increments lets you
know that youre taking steps
forward and when you can see that
what youre doing is making a
dierence, theres FAR more
incentive to keep going.
In Conclusion
The balls in your court. You know
what you can get from liing
weights, and if youre lacking in
ANY one of those areas, you cant
blame anyone but yourself.
So, get up o your arse, get into a

gym, and start experiencing all the
incredible benets that come from
liing weights.
NOTE 1: Always get a qualied

trainer to show you how to li. If
you dont get your technique right,
you can end up just hurting
yourself. Cant aord one, check
out some videos on YouTube
DISCLAIMER: Im not a personal

trainer and so take no
responsibility for the reliability of
these videos. They just look rad.

NOTE 2: Dont have enough cash

to get into a gym? No excuse
because neither does this guy:

NOTE 3: If you know just one guy

who you think should read this,
Like it, tweet it, or +1 it and get the
word out there >>>>>>>
NOTE 4: If you can think of any

other benets not listed above, post
them in the comments below and
Ill add them in.

This is dead-on, Leigh. However

most of this applies to pretty
much every exercise out there,
and all of it ESPECIALLY applies
to martial arts.
So you might wanna mention

somewhere that if you dont like
liing weights for whatever
legitimate reason (other than
being a lazy arse), you might as
well just get the hell up and
simply EXERCISE. And also eat
healthy.

Yeah, good point mate.

Though, in my expereince,
whilst other activities can give
you some of these, liing
weights is the only place
where you get ALL of these
together.

Work out with a team or buddy.

Just like a mens group or AI you
see the REAL results and feel the
REAL eects when you have
coaches,team members,or close
friends behind you riding your
ass and screaming at
you,pushing you further than
you think you can.
Its sure as hell scarier. But its a

lot more gratifying and intense.

I highly recommend checking

out a guy called Sean
Nalewanyj.
Whilst looking for a (Non-

existant) miracle body building
method, I stumbled across his
name, and not only was he the
only Natural Bodybuilding
Coach I could nd who stressed
there is no magical method to
big gains, but explains all the
truths about muscle building
and how to build your dream
body in minimal time, how to
eat, live, and work healthily, and
be able to push towards your
goal no matter how how hard it
gets.
This page has some info and

links to his books and latest
works (Check out The Truth
about muscle building in the
top right corner, I found it really
useful.)
Oh, and great post Leigh.
Denitely my favourite.

This is great and all, but I can

things by doing other stu. The
only thing I cant get is a
muscled body, but when I WAS
working out there was no
dierence in the results I got
with women.
Id much rather do something I

enjoy, than wasting it in the gym
doing something I hate.
Feeling powerful, happy,

energetic, pushing through fears,
get outside my comfort zone,
etc, are all things I already get
from approaching and talking to
women.

Yeah, you can achieve most of
them by doing other things,
but liing weights is the only
place Ive found that you can
achieve ALL of these in one
go.
If the gym isnt for you (hate

is a very strong word. Might
be a good starting place to
look deeper), then thats ne.
Theres more than one way to
skin a cat. But in my
experience, the gym is the
most eective place.

Liing weights always bored me.

Didnt hate it, but it just never
caught on. Cycling in contrast, is
just my thing.
But even more important than

whether you li weights, ride a
bicycle or whatever is in my
opinion THAT YOU DO HAVE
AN EXERCISE REGIMEN.
Without physical exercise you
will not likely have the energy to
sustain an interesting lifestyle.
Nothing drains your energy
more than being physically
inactive.

probably nothing.

I think this is probably my

favourite article on AI, mainly
because I can relate to all of this.
When I wanted to start changing

my life, liing weights was a
pathway that showed me that
you can achieve what you set
you mind to with eort and
consistency.
Its also great because you can

measure how much weight you
have lost/gained over a certain
amount of time and compare
what you used to li to what you
can li now and know that
youre getting stronger.
For me it is by far the easiest

way to feel powerful and in
control of my life and it is a
great starting block for anyone
wanting to build condence. But
the real benets come when you
commit to it.
Awesome post Leigh.

great post
its interesting to see how

powerful the guy doing
bodyweight exercises is
a good sourse for bofyweight

training is convict conditioning,
great book, and perfect if you
dont have the money to go to
the gym
also the dvd from

http://www.calisthenicskingz.net/
(http://www.calisthenicskingz.net/)
its cheap and very good, i would
just add to it more leg work, full
bridges and hang leg raises and
you are good to go to become
superman

August 9, 2012
and i forgot, the in my opinion

the best product out there for
bodyweight training is convict
conditioning, on top of any
other
anyway a fast thing you could

try and is free, is look for the
best exercises for all part of you
body, and look for the dierent
variations to increase diculty
shoulders- handstand pushups
pushing muscles- push ups(you

can reach very advanced
versions, not just the traditional)
and dips
pulling muscles- pull ups, again,

you can reach very advanced
versions, instruntions free in
many places
spine- son, you need a strong

one, most important part of
your body, by far, yes, more
important than your glutes. do
full bridges and wrestler
bridges(for the neck to)
core(and abs)- hang leg raises, no

competition there, ones you can
li your legs to a v shape, with
your feet close to your hands,
you are as strong as fuck.
lower body- this one is simple,

squats, and eventualy pistol
squats
anyway, sorry for taking so

much space, hope it helps

Leigh,
I think what you are trying to

say about working out is great.
Recently, I have stumbled upon
a book, called Convict
Conditioning
(http://www.dragondoor.com/b41/
(http://www.dragondoor.com/b41/)
In here, the author,Paul Coach
Wade, advocates calisthenics
over weightliing for a good
reason. And not just any
calisthenics-old school
calisthenics. Weightliing as it is
only came about the mid/late
20th century. Before that,
athletes have always used
calisthenics to build strength
AND endurance. Weightliing-
especially barbells-damage the
muscles surrounding the
shoulder,compress the spinal
discs- just to name a few things
weightliing does to the body.
Good old pullups, pushups, and
what not use the muscles of the
human body as they were
intended. He talks about
progressions in technique, like
going from wall pushups to one
arm pushups. This gives the
joints in the body time to
strengthen,unlike weightliing.
Like Endgame in which you
talked about how we had to
unlearn the PUA junk to be
natural with women, Wade is
saying the same thing about
working out. You dont need
gym membership, weights, or
anything else besides your body.
Plus, you save money too.
Oh, I just scrolled back up to see

someone else posted something
similar, argh. My apologies. So I
guess the only thing I have to
add is weightliing is potentially
harmful to your overall health.
Regardless, I think youre doing
great here at AI-keep it up!

Maybe the tness thing deserves

a forum spot, since it is always a
beautiful subject of discussion.
And my 2 cents: Body By
Science. I mentioned it at the
forums already but in short it is
a research based high intensity
tness programme. 12 minutes a
week (or for some people even
12 minutes every two weeks) and
thats it, with results that easily
blow away 5 day a week routines.
And the thing I love about it is
that it is backed up by solid
science.
And whats best about the Body

By Science Big Five workout is
that it facilitates ass kicking
barrier pushing every week like
no other training scheme does.
Plus you get the inevitable ass
kicking results for free, just as a
bonus.

I have to admit, I wasnt really

sold on the goal-setting and
being better in bed. But when I
saw that it protected from the
black plague, that sold me
straight away!!!
But on a more serious note, this

is one of my favorite articles on
here. I second the idea of having
a section of the forum
specically for working out,
where people can post what they
know and we can get some
guides going for the basics of
how to reduce fat, build muscle,
increase endurance, and
whatever other goals people
want.

ok, I followed your advice and

Im in the gym now. Didnt plan
to make this into a complicated
research project, though. So, one
more question:
Which style of training do you
recommend?
It seems there are several, and I
feel rather lost

Good on you mate. Its great

to see youre taking action.
The style of training you take
on really depends on what
youre trying to acheive. What
do you want to get out of it?
Lose fat
Build muscle
Increase your cardio-
vascular endurance
Whats your goal?

Most importantly, I want to

support the personality
change, that is building a
habit of taking up
challenges, and decreasing
time of lazily sitting around
doing nothing.
Also (less important) Id like

to lose some weight(fat), but
only about 10kg.
Those 2 are the main

things. Apart from that:
Building muscle may be a

nice thing just to
experience how it feels, but
otherwise it isnt a priority.
Health gain is important for
me too, but I guess there
isnt much of a dierence to
this concerning various
styles of training.
Cardio-vascular endurance
is something I guess I dont
have to worry about. I can
do cycling for several hours
a day without problems.
Leigh (LoGun)

First of all, Im not a

personal trainer and I
havent assessed you
physically so everything Im
saying is just guess work.
You should always speak to
a qualied professional
before making decisions on
these kinds of things.
Heres what Id
recommend: Get a book
called The Testosterone
Advantage Plan. Its a great
book about liing and
health and strength, and
most importantly for you,
building testosterone thats
going to push you harder
and get you challenging
your world more.
You can check it out here:

Testosterone Advantage
Plan

ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0743237919&lin
20)
Its also got workout

routines and diet plans in
the back of it that will give
you a good place to start.
Also, I would HIGHLY

recommend you get a
personal trainer, even for
just a few sessions, just to
show you how to do the lis
properly. Bad form and
technique can cause you a
lot of problems down the
road (as Im nding out).
Hope that helps.

Thanks!
Right now, I have noticed
something else: Its quite
interesting to see what
happens, when the liing
gets tough, i.e. to observe
the dierent voices in my
head either telling me to
push through or to give it
up, because it is too
dicult. Lately I noticed
that one voice will keep
telling me something like
this:
OK, we had this already,

weve been at this point.
You can either use brute
force to do this other
repetition, or dont. Guess
what? Its not worth the
eort. Guess why? This has
nothing to do with your
goals at all. Practicing liing
weights to get better at life
is like practicing playing
football to get better at
cooking. Youre basically
wasting your time here. Go
out and do something you
really value.
I have to admit that there

seems to be truth in this
reasoning. Liing weights is
really hard, and if it is not
directly connected to
something I really value, I
cant see where to take the
discipline from. Any
suggestions? Do you agree
with this analysis? Where
exactly do YOU take your
motivation from?
Leigh (LoGun)

For me, it is helping me

move closer to my goals.
My goals of being healthy,

of being physically strong
enough to take on any
physical challenges, of
being able to walk around
with my shirt o and not
feel embarrassed of what
Ive let myself become, of
being able to run around
with my kids when Im 45,
etc
Whats your dream? Does

any of it involve being
strong and healthy?

Hey man great article

but why the assumption that get
your pale, white, pimply arse
into a gym.?
Not all white people are out of

viewers from other ethnicitys
will immediately be turned o
by this, there are people of all
races that need to get to the gym
and more people will view this
site if you write it as such.

Hey mate,
It wasnt intended to be any

kind of racial stereo typing. It
was more of a throw away
line.
Most peoples arses are

relatively white as they dont
tan them much and if theyre
not, well, they probably dont
need to read this article as
theyre either a stripper or a
professional body builder.
Thats all. Nothing sinister

Liing weights is one of about
four main methods to prevent
dementia and is an activity I

While researching a denition of

muscle retention exercises in

The journey of becoming great
with women, doesn't start with
learning tricks, lines, and tactics.
It starts with something much

deeper. Think about this:
If you don't enjoy spending time

with yourself, how will she enjoy
your time together?
If you don't nd your life

interesting and exciting, why
would she want to be part of it?
If you don't think you're the most

attractive person in the room
you're standing in, why would any
woman choose you over someone
else?
Becoming the kind of Man that

knees starts with becoming the
kind of Man that you've alway
wanted to be.
And we're here to help you do that.
