• "Damn, where had I put my barbell?"

my trick is that if i think about exercising and i haven't done it yet today, i have to do it as soon as possible. has worked, except for when i dont think about it but i end up thinking about it the next day.

That's how I started exercising! I bought a smol dumbbell and did some light stuff with it, stopped for a while, picked it back up, and eventually, it turned into a habit. I'm by no means a strongman or a powerlifter, but I'm in decent shape, have a (very small) home gym, and started going to an actual gym with way more equipment this year (why did I waste time and money on a home gym?). It's fun, keeps me busy, and is good for me. It's also a great feeling when you see your lifts get heavier and heavier over time!

Hey, everyone has to start somewhere. Even if it is very light exercise it is so much better than nothing.

I see you got a bunch of chips there, that's great! You'll need that extra caloric intake to gain some muscle.

Maybe trying 5 kilograms instead of 5 pounds 😁
