Keep in mind , if you are pressed for time a work-out buddy can severly slow you down. While it is a good idea to take rests in between sets, a workout buddy may end up stretching your rest-time in between sets to like 5 or 10 minutes. Eventually those minutes start to add up and it could take you 2 hours to do a workout then you may be able to complete in 50 minutes by yourself.

Of course, you will need a buddy to do things like benching and perhaps for fly's(I think thats what they're called?) and a few other things, but you could always ask someone else who's in the gym(if you're going to a public one) for some help..from my experience even the biggest guys in the gym are usually pretty nice and helpful.

Cowlick: If you don't eat a lot, then yeah you'll gain muscle for a bit, but eventually you'll come to a halt. How do you expect your body to gain mass, if you're not putting that mass into your body in the first place?

Also, while you may get big results in 6 months, you shouldn't play/and or hope for it. Everyone's body is different, and it could take you years to achieve what you dream of. Like you can see from a thread I posted the other day, I havn't been making the biggest gains over the past few months, but it hasn't discouraged me because I enjoy going the gym. Getting those big muscles has almost taken the back-burner to simply enjoying the time I spend in the gym. If it's not fun, then find another way for excersize because you're not going to get ANY results if you're not enjoying it.
