Curious, anyone else here into lifting/bodybuilding?

Post Reply New Topic

I get the sense that most people with ASD or AS tend to be kind of "unathletic." Naturally I was the same way but I did try a few team sports as a kid and for the past year I have been really into lifting weights. I am even considering doing it competitively someday. I love that it is individualistic, you just focus on improving yourself and applying knowledge to get better at this skill.

Also, when I first started I really wanted to get stronger but I was nervous to go be in a gym environment and I had trouble motivating myself. My trick was to think about it like a video game. The weights I can lift are like my levels/score/XP and that made it super satisfying to keep improving. So is anyone else here into this too?

I picked up some wights halfheartedly in past. But at end of day, no amount of steroids and hours in gym is gonna make up for the social deficits.

I might be. I may be just starting.
But for now I had to catch what's wrecking my newly self made routines.

I may want to because I'm a bit uneven. I have a lot of leg strength and stamina but rather weak upper body strength and stamina...
Even if I were deemed physically to be above average, I'd rather keep it -- or have it better.

Yeah love weightlifting and building up my body and I am fortunate enough to have free weights in my home garage.

Can a guy though who is 5'7-5'8 like myself develop what society considers a good body though?
