So a little context, until 7 months ago I had absolutely no experience with lifting or body weight training in any way shape or form except for the one or two mandatory weight lifting sessions in highschool. Throughout my whole life i’ve been pretty skinny fat, I had no muscle on me at all and I had trouble holding myself accountable to stay consistent. Then one day I got sick of how I looked and decided to get ahold of myself and start working out no matter how I felt.
Originally I ran a full body program 3x a week for the first 4 months but I found that it was way too exhausting on my body. Instead I switched to an upper lower x2 split and I found that I had been making a lot more progress due to the nature of having more rest time and from then on I’ve been having great experiences with bodyweight training. Aside from physical changes, the mental benefits have been great too. Being able to take my shirt off without feeling self concious or just feeling more confident in my own skin for once was a great feeling and to this day it gives me my drive to keep going. I found that my mood has overall improved and I feel more inclined to spend time spreading positivity instead of being in my own head about my looks/body.
I’m really glad I found this subreddit and got into bodyweight training because I feel like even though its only been half a year it has really changed my life and I’m really excited for whats coming up next in my journey. If you read this all the way through, I appreciate you taking the time to listen to me throw my thoughts around!
