So, I decided I wanted to try working out to look better (main reason) in addition to getting the health benefits and bonuses of attracting women (another big reason).
After reading through this site and others, I just don't know where to begin. There's just so much information and conflicting opinions that I can't start a practical routine with confidence.
I see all this talk about the internal processes of the body, and crazy sounding supplements, and exercises that I've never heard of, let alone know how to do, cutting/bulking etc. I get overwhelmed. I just want to get started but I also want to make sure I'm not wasting my time! I get discouraged when I see pictures of people who've been working out for several years and don't look much better than they used to.
I have a few questions also:
1. How long do most people work before seeing results and the other associated positive benefits such as more looks from women?
2. What should I look for when considering a gym? There's a physical rehab facility where I live that seems decent. It has a pool and plenty of machines in addition to weights (though I don't know if its adequate or not, being a gym newbie). I'm a gym amateur though so I don't know what type of weights I should be looking for to make sure I can do all of the exercises I see listed on here.
3. Is there anywhere I can get a detailed list of how to do specific exercises that I see listed here? I haven't had much luck getting the info.
4. are all of these crazy supplements really necessary to get good, satisfying, life-changing results?
5. Can anyone recommend something for a beginner like me to get started? I'm getting tired of just reading information and not being able to put together a routine for myself so I can start effectively working out right now. also, I know of beneficial foods, but I'd like help putting together a complete grocery list. Same goes for exercising. I'm curious about how many reps/sets of what exercises I should be doing as a beginner.
In short, the gist of this post is basically I'm so overwhelmed with conflicting opinions, foreign terms, and information, that I just don't know how or where to start.
Thanks for reading.
