wear flat footed shoes. dont wear a tank top. bring music if they only play "pop shit" or "jammin oldies"
>>36508859
Read the fucking sticky you humongous faggot. Jesus, I hate you so fucking much
>>36508884
I've read it already you goddamn autist , I'm looking for things that werent mentioned in the sticky
remember to warm up, start with only the barbell
if you're confused about something, rather ask people around than make a fool out of yourself
If you ever find yourself think "I wonder if I can", don't try. When you can, you'll know
watch more form tutorials and focus on your form
>>36508859
Don't curl in the squat rack, do shit with proper form (nobody's gonna give a shit how little weight you're doing as long as the form is there), and don't be afraid to talk to people or ask for spots, just make sure you don't do it in the middle of their fucking set.

don't drop the soap..
that was my first and last mistake

did the dick kill you ?
Put the fucking clips on the fucking smith machine, if you plan on using it. All the newbies show up and then go "I don't need them it's stable enough haha" and end up destroying the equipment. I had to call the front desks guys on so many of them it's infuriating. Also bring a towel and bottle of water you disgusting sweaty piece of shit.

after it killed your mom

disregard
>>36508975
Why ?
>>36508993
cuz bullshit
>>36508859
pay as much attention to other people as they pay to you
if someone is flat out ignoring you, then don't bother them
if someone wants to talk to you, engage them
basically, don't be autistic
>>36508859
focus on progression, watch your form, go all out
>>36508941
After the first time, it wasn't a mistake ;)
Don't forget to tip the receptionist

>Don't forget to tip the receptionist
That's very american of you
also dry your balls with the hand blowers in the bathroom
there's no other way to be sure they're dry
Form first, weight second.
Don't be intimidated by the thought that random people are judging you, it really doesn't matter as long as you continue working hard at something worthwhile.
>>36508859
just lift the weights bruh
>>36508859
make sure to keep going after tomorrow
