Going to the gym for the first time ever When is the quietest

Nobody cares what you wear
Nobody cares what you do
Nobody cares about you at the gym, don't be so fucking dumb as to think everyone will be staring at you

And have fun anon, good luck

Morning has the keeners, the health enthusiasts, the buisness men etc

Evening has the gym rats, the powerlifters "not fat just bulking I like being big" turbo giga autists

This. Just don't forget to bot try and OHP using the Squat bar, and to make sure your weights are rotated properly and you'll be fine

It was a lot more fun and easier than I expected it to be but I just wish I had someone to go with so I don't make a fool out of myself

>Guy corrects me and tells me to lift the bar with my palms facing outwards

Huh?

He told me to hold it as if I was curling it and pull it up like that towards me.

I don't know if that's an alternative grip for rows or if I was being made fun of but it doesn't matter.

I'm not gonna let that stop me from going back again tomorrow after my soreness goes down a bit

Everyone fucks up and doesn't have a good form when they start going to the gym. Don't be embarrassed about it, don't feel intimidated by it either cause in a couple months you are just as normal as anyone else. Not giving up and improving your form over time is the key, if you knew everything you wouldn't be going to a gym in the first place.

Just got back from my first time at the gym. Almost fucked myself up by putting too much weight for my first bench press set but I turned my head and eyed someone and he ran over and helped me lift it back up.

Also I'm pretty sure my deadlift form is terrible cause my lower back is sore but otherwise I'm glad I went.

I normally go anywhere from 1am-7am and it is usually deserted during those hours.
