True. You can't make things happen, by thinking like ohh I can't go to the Gym, I have self esteem issues.
You think about it, guys like Cutler, Coleman, Kickinger, Materazzo, heck even Ferrigno and Arnie back in the old days, probably felt a bit like that the first few times. They didn't probably get good teenage natural development, and capitalised on it, they could have been very slim, and not too confident in themselves.
Unless you get into a gym, suck it up and put in the man hours, you will never get over the self esteem issues. You'll wander in one time, make something physical happen inside, then lose it, when you can't get get in there enough to build on it.
You don't want a sliver of extra muscle growth, then come back in 4 or 5 more days, and you've lost it, and wonder why you can't get past the first 4-6 wek period, and be close to some kind of max for reps.
You have to get in there, knuckle down, and forget about other people. Some of them may want to know you, some might not be bothered, but either way, you can't build muscle thinking or dreaming about it.
Well at leats I'm pretty sure you camn't but there's probably someone out there in California, ready to prove me wrong
