first day at the gym today, and I'm pumped!
any new gym go-ers here?
Joined 8 months ago, started getting serious 3 months ago. Do I qualify?

yes.
how's your progress going?
First day too! Hence why I'm on /fit/ and not /pol/ although im not racist...
I moved back with my mom who lives in Florida and her apartment has a gym, it was filled with old people and i was embarrassed cause im fat ;(
thinking about going to a ymca or something down the road for weights, maybe someone will know what i should work on if i want to be able to do more than two pull ups.
ive never spent time in a gym and i dont know anyone who does. ive lost a lot of weight this year and i need to do something about all this skin though ....

Inside the gym? Find a better gym.
Otherwise just man the fuck up.

could you be any more pathetic?
i've been at the gym for about 3 weeks.
today I conquered my fear of bench pressing.. hella pumped for the future.
I started last month and I was so fucking bummed out by my pathetic maxes I stopped going for a while.
I went today and did great at cardio, but still have small maxes. I can't curl to save my life.

Have somebody teach you or read a lot about form. Or RIP your shoulders.

>mfw i cant imagine going to the gym on the first day only to realize nothing will happen to my body for another 6 months

>not setting off the fire alarm sprinklers so everyone runs out and you can finally use the machine you need
pleb
ive been at it nearly 6 years straight nonstop
its just become apart of my life, you better hope it becomes that way or you'll probably quit, ive gone through like 10 gym partners in the last 6 years who all eventually give up

This. This this this x100.
>>37949451
ive had some friends teach me.
i just have a bit of a tough time keeping the bar straight
>>37949470
Those six months are going to go by either way. Might as well get shit done.
>>37949492
fuck man, i dont take anyone else under my wing, you put time and effort and they piss it all away. i dont even answer any questions anymore

Yeah, I've basically stopped helping people in regards to lifting as well.
There's only so many times you can repeat the same shit to people and to see them just give up relatively quickly. It just gets old after awhile.
Now I just pretend like I don't know anything and I just tell them to go lift, and if they ask to come with me I just make up excuses as to why I can't lift with them.
