    Thank you for an incredibly well-thought-out response. I'll make sure to avoid using the word "shit" so I don't offend you when I'm writing shit to help people. Sorry for my lack of class. I'll purchase a suit and tie and pose in front of large columns for my profile picture tomorrow. -whiz

    And p.s. how long did you do starting strength? If you were having "pain" or intense soreness, you either had bad form, did not eat/hydrate properly, did not take enough time between workout days, or did not sleep enough Or you have some disease or something (hopefully not) Or you're...

    As @Andy Black said, one. 1,000,000 people can say that they'll buy something, and then you put the credit card form in front of them and they close the tab. But if one person hands you $, then you know you can probably get a 2nd person. Unless you got the 1 person in the world out of...

    Honestly the main thing to look for is that you enjoy it A lot of people get into this mindset that you aren't working out unless you're killing yourself so bad that it hurts etc - that's all bullshit Just find an activity that increases your heart rate and forces you to focus - and make sure...
