Yoga vs. Lifting

[Tim]

Only weights are going to make you bigger, except if you're a dedicated swimmer, shotputter, or something similar. But unless you're seriously undersized, do what you enjoy. Choosing a sport/activity that you will actually stick to, that makes you happy, and keeps you healthy will do more for your results with women than forcing yourself to lift weights if you hate it.

The advantage of lifting weights, that I think no other sport has to quite the same extent, is that aside from just making your bigger, it also makes you enjoy pain. Not just tolerate it, but enjoy it. I fear the squat rack but I also love being its bitch. Same with calf raises, the bench, and chin-ups. And that enjoyment of pain can give you the ability to tolerate and enjoy a lot of hard work in the rest of your life. I would say I get more out of the gym mentally than physically.

But yeah, still do what you enjoy. If you hate weights then you're probably not going to be very good at adhering to your gym plan, and even if you are, you won't be enjoying it. Life's too short for that.
