Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I fell ya bro. When I started I was 5'11" and 140. I remember somebody have to pull 135 off my chest. Now I warm up with sets of 20 of it. Point is it takes time. Yeah, there are some assholes in the gym I know for a fact I have been guilty of it at times when I'm in a bad mood. But for the most part we are all pretty decent folks. Like it was stated earlier most of us are quiet and reserved around people we don't know. Just show up everyday and train hard. After awhile somebody will offer advice on training and diet. good luck

It sounds like you've got a pretty good gym - at least there are
hardcore people in there - and you don't get sneered at when
you make noise or throw around some weight. Like previously said, they are probably descent guys, just get to know them - with work (and the right medicine) you'll become them. Good luck bro

I can only agree with what's already been said - once you visit the gym long enough and regularly enough and show your dedication by training to the best of YOUR ability not anyone else's you will earn the respect of the other gym members!
Most bro's are only too happy to share training and dietary advice when they are sure that they are not wasting their time on someone who has no discipline!
Like has been mentioned in previous posts everybody started with what nature gave them and they had to serve an apprenticeship to prove that they were not one of the 95% who join the gym for 6 months or a year and then never come back so don't try and force the issue because if people think you're impatient then they will not help you because they will sense that you lack what is necesscary to succeed in transforming your physique!
One more thing don't worry about your perceived lack of natural endowment because a lot of people on this board including myself do not want to be absolutely huge. The most important aspect of an attractive physique is symmetry with a low BF% so if you have a low BF% naturally then you have an advantage that I don't because I'm constantly fighting to keep my BF ratio down. I have no doubt that if you work hard and be the best that you can be you will be well pleased with the results and the associated benefits which are too numerous to mention!
Good luck and good gaining Bro!

I agree pretty much with all the above posts. I was were you are three years ago. Like the bros said, stick with it. Don't worry so much about making friends and gaining approval. Stay focused and work out hard. That means SQUATS, DEADLIFTS, BENCH PRESS, etc. Go to the gym regularly. Watch and adjust your diet and excersises. READ THIS BOARD! There's so much great info here and it the best muscle head community I know of. As for your gym, just train and ask for a spot whenever you need it. That's the best way to get to know the other bros . And pick their brains about training and diet. Do all this and they'll accept you as one of their own in the making. Welcome to the brotherhood!!

Hey man, I was just like you when i started, except on the opposite end of the spectrum, I was the fat kid in the gym. I was scared of all the muscle guys. Eventually they see things starting to work out for you and you show your dedication and strut your shit ( not cocky, but confidently) and people will start to see you are dedicated, just realize you are in there to do a job and that is self improvement, Soon you wilkl see just about everyone in there is in the same boat as you, just as unhappy with what they see. Don't worry about ti bro you'll see your gains and fast... just eat eat and eat, while you LIFT LIFT and LIFT and you'll be fine.
