beginner questions
Hi everyone, I've been lurking on here for a little while and I'm finally ready to start working on heavy lifting (again... I tried NROL about a year ago but it got too complicated for me to do easily-- SL seems much more manageable). I have two questions before I get started: 1) my (university campus) gym does not allow…

How do you get yourself to start?

I'm anxious just thinking about being the fat woman in what's usually the man cave (weight room). Plus I'm a total beginner so I'm worried about poor…

in need of a confidence boost
Ok folks, I'm trying to work up the nerve to start lifting at the gym tomorrow. I'm anxious just thinking about being the fat woman in what's usually the man cave (weight room). Plus I'm a total beginner so I'm worried about poor form and hurting myself (and looking the fool) and it'd just be so much *easier* to stay at…
