Is this normal? What concerns me is that even after an hour of wonder-machines and a little lifting I felt tired, but barely sweating.
And should lifting be done prior to machine workout?
Why didn't you work out in 5 years?
Completely normal, your muscles/CNS are literally too weak to do any amount of work that taxes your cardiovascular system or produces much heat. The only way to fix this is too get stronger.
Stick to your program, you'll make progress.

I had a few rest days too many

some people sweat, some don't, less, more. depends on the individual. whether or not a person is sweating isn't an indicator of effective physical activity.
stop fucking around with machines. it's CURRENT YEAR and you're evidently capable of using the internet. read the sticky and pick an legitimate weight lifting program.
I'm on the other side of the spectrum. At first I was pretty certain it was because of all the lard, but even after losing the weight, I still sweat when doing hardly anything at all.

Depression and being a retard..
Back then I didn't know I also had to consume more food to grow. So after a year of working out and only having some abs to show for it, felt like a waste of time.

Alright, thank you very much for this info.

don't listen to this autist >>36446878
literally spewing buzzwords and telling you to stick to a program that's probably dogshit.
Do you have a routine op? Or do you go to the gym and fuck around? If it's the latter read the sticky.
>>36446909
how do you even know what his program is?
>>36446913
Oh and if you do have a routine but it's one that you made or that the '''''''''''''personal trainer''''''''''''' at the gym gave you it's most likely useless. Read the sticky.

Today I just checked out the new gym, tried out every machine with 25-30kg weights (with 30x count) and tried lifting for the very first time.
I'll be doing homework about programs this weekend.
Are there any decent bodybuilding forums out there? Don't want to flood /fit/ with stupid questions in the future.

all the information you need to deduce that it's a dog shit program you CNS autist.
>>36446957
Oh, didn't read the machines part.
Yeah his program is probably dogshit but it's still possible for a DYEL to tire out their muscles without sweating.

I didn't start breaking serious sweats for a few weeks after I started. I was also posting here wondering what I was doing wrong, like why I'm so weak but don't feel exhausted. It'll get harder, trust me.
