How many of you people go to the gym to work out?

Well, I've been hitting the gym recently because I realized it was time to improve my pathetic and thin build. So I've gained about 5kg after working out and I can do about 18 pull-ups, not to mention unlimited push-ups. And overall, going to the gym has been great. Except for the fact that apart from becoming stronger, my overall build has remained pretty much the same :( but I have become more "defined" nevertheless. It really does suck to be born small but I can't help it, so going to the gym seemed to be pretty much the only option to me, and I really want to avoid intense protein products because they can **** you up.

So how many of you hit the gym as well? I'd have to say it's the best form of exercise ever, because you get to do it in a controlled air-con environment with a trainer to help you occasionally. I usually do free weights and the machines. Not to mention, that it does boost your self-confidence a bit. I'm hell of a glad that the gym I go to has hardly any people going at all. Sometimes, you see those gym nut ******s everywhere and it can really scare the hell out of you when you are lifting a pathetic 10kg, and they are doing bench-presses. That's one of the reasons why a few of my friends avoid hitting the gym. You can injure yourself badly there if you do the wrong things.

I really hope to gain some more mass though, I'm only 60kg right now and I have been trying to eat shitloads of protein food like lots of meat and nuts, but I haven't seen any difference.

Your thoughts?
