Yes, give up, I'm sure that will help
Don’t give up lad. You were able to turn a potentially embarrassing moment into a laugh between fellow gym goers, don’t look too much into it. Also, at your level, just lift SOMETHING. It literally does not matter what exercise or machine you do, any lifting is good. So get in there, stay focused on yourself and get those gains brah.
Thanks anon, I will give it another try or few and see how things go
ignore them, research proper form.
Will make sure to do so sirs, it might have been a mistake to go unprepared, and I will avoid a trainer since it seems like Bullshit
Just tell them unless they're gonna help you they can just frick off. Trainers are a grift, don't get one. Do whatever you want but focus on doing big movements as heavy and as intensive as possible. Causing stress to your body is the most important thing you can do, listen to your body and how you feel with each day. Try to eat clean and good foods, sleep properly and the rest will come to you naturally. Master the heaviest weights you can handle before going up and always have good novelty while working out to prevent plateaus and boredom.

No! If you're a beginner there is so much to gain!
If people are making you nervous you can go at a less populated time.
Look at some free weight exercises online that you want to do, and practice at home with some stand in items, so you can improve your form and confidence.
Ultimately, everyone is at the gym to improve themselves, you belong there as much as anyone else.
Thats a great Idea, I will try to go at 1-3PM when its way less populated
Thanks
>>"Bro you have been trying to remove the weights for 15 minues, wtf is wrong?"
How did you end up doing that for 15min
Even a caveman could figure it out
I remember looking like an idiot starting with just the bar on the bench and other lifts, but I just kept adding weight and look back at those days fondly, just keep going pussy
Thanks for the inspiration anon
Those people don't care, we all start somewhere. Just ask for help and do what they tell you to do, don't try to play smart and do things your own way. Keep it simple, ask for help and work hard
There have been 2 people who were helpful to me I will make sure to keep asking them when needed
Just deal with it until you know what to do moron that's how you learn literally anything?
Congratulations on the youth and getting started. What fun it was. Be virtuous and have fun.
>people born in 2005 may post here now
Read about the spot light effect, this helped me a lot with my confidence back then too.
I have graves disease during senior year highschool. Lost ton of weight (due to hyper thyroidism) and eyes bulging out (thyroid eye diseas), plus acne. So i basically looked like an alien. Got depressed through out colleges until I eventually ignore how ppl might assume about me.
Now I enjoy wroking out and learning about menswear (1940-1970 era). Care about hgins you can control.
Dude it's all pointless, lifting, working, everything. You will never make it and you will never live the life you thought you would live.
The younger generations are realizing early how fricked they are compared to the older gens.
Things weren't like this ten years ago, but they are now and they will only get worse.
>zoomer slop
AHAHAH BASED
the zoomer complaining and doomer posting has to stop and if that means zoomers killing themselves at record rates then by god they have my fricking blessing
what a couple of pussy homosexuals
I also have autism. The social problem of a gym is to much for me so I have a home gym.
At starting strength you don't need much weight so its fairly cheap to start and you can slowly build out your weights as you grow. Get some (olympic) dumbbells and a bench and you can start at home. Just make sure you don't over do it and do correct form because there is no one spotting you.
>Should I just stop it bros?
No, do it over and over again. Eventually you know how it works
get a used bench and 2 adjustable dumbbells. used usually gets u good deal. lift at home. watch youtube vids and read menno henselmans. you are gonna make it
with "Sorry I'm moronic"
day, I ask for a trainer
Read SS and you'll know more than 99%(+-1%) of trainers.
