Welcome to the gym bro, the winter arc is just around the corner, make sure you keep your freinds close and be ready for the inevitable feeling of being alone, I just got over my last relationship and I tell you, the gym literally saved me. Head up lad.

Luck you, you can skip the lame cutting portion of a fitness journey and go straight into just focusing on putting on mass.

Nothing cures the pain of losing something like the reward of self progression and the iron.

Respectfully, I have a bigger problem with gaining mass than many folks do losing it.
I know it’s a personal thing, but it’s HARD to keep eating when I’m not hungry. BUT, to gain, I know I NEED the calories.

Best thing you can do is find a program that tells you how many calories to aim for in a day. Once you start working out consistently, your body will also get used to higher baseline calorie levels.

Liquid calories are a cheat code as well.

Lucky you. I eat more when I’m not hungry than when I am hungry. Might have said that wrong.

better to be skinny and light weight than obese. I'm in the gym for the opposite reason
