>tfw 1st day in the gym today >scared shitless beacause

Just focus on your lifts and not what others are doing. The first day in the gym is always awkward. You will see dudes and even some women lifting heavier weight than you. It can be disheartening just don't let it discourage you from persevering and meeting your fitness goals!

never rest too little or too long. gymgoers are very specific about this, and each gym has it's own acceptable rest times. they'll get angry if you take too long, or will try to hold you back when you rest too little. I suggest you go there and observe the first couple of days, don't actually train yourself. just watch how long other people rest, maybe write it down in a little notebook. once you think you know exactly how long to rest you're good to go. good luck.

Avoid overthinking things, numbnuts.

Rerack your weights, wipe down after yourself, be polite, don't stare, wear clean clothes, bring a towel, and shower prior going in to gym. And shower after you filthy animal.

this is overdoing it, no one gives a fuck about what you're doing as long as it's not autisitic.

you're awful, don't do this to the poor guy.

If you take it seriously, and show up regularly you won't look like a fake.

Everyone is staring at you and silently judging you based on how much you can lift and what your form's like.

About to head out.
Im pretty nervous about my form. Especially on diddylifts.
All tips appreciated. I hope i dont snap my shit up. Rippedtits bless me.

no one there cares what you look like, just focus on your form and you'll be fine.
