Oh how often/long do you lift? I'm more of a hobbyist myself...

@hyeyoo @blainsmith me or blain?

When healthy I do 5 times/wk but I worked my way up to that over time.

Just start off at a steady sustainable pace and do everything gradually and sensibly and see where it goes.

Patience is really key to this stuff, in my case I'm in a huge cut so just sustaining strength at the moment until I get lean enough to bulk (maybe sep next year?)

@hyeyoo @ljs I'm a 4-5 days a week type. I outfitted my garage with everything. I've competed in the past.

It's the best therapy I've ever done for my mental health, especially working in tech.

@blainsmith @hyeyoo ^ this is so true.

Mental health benefits are huge and a big part of it all...

@ljs @blainsmith That's why you began lifting weights after you started writing the book? ...to take care your mental health

@hyeyoo @blainsmith I started because wife made me due to being hugely fat...

I hated it at first. But then I loved it. It's quite a weird thing.

Now can't imagine life without it

@ljs @lkundrak @hyeyoo We all start the journey somewhere under different conditions. What matters most is that it becomes your own personal choice to continue, stay consistent, grow physically and mentally, and reap the lifelong benefits of occupying a meatbag that you've pushed beyond your limits to become a fucking UNIT that can take life head on. πŸ˜‰
