I've just started gym like one week ago, in total been to the gym for 3 times. Never been to gym before that

Here are the equipments I can do. I know I'm quite weak

Pec Fly 35kg
Diverging row 22.5kg
Chest press 20kg
Leg press 82.5kg
Leg extention machine 35kg
Dumbells 8kg on right hand, 6kg on left. My left hand is much weaker than my right

Hope in about 3-4 weeks time, I can do much heavier weights, around 20-30% more

Any other nice equipment for me to try?

Squats with barbells? Haven't done any barbells yet.

Thinking of doing chin ups but quite embarassed if I do it in the gym

Thinking of getting a chin up bar to fix at your home door

Thanks bro for the encouragement

Clear goal is to lose the body fat (currently around 25%) and build muscles. FYI, I'm currently 72.5kg and 175cm.

Been losing weight steadily since 1 month ago on a keto diet, 20th April I weigh at 76kg

HIIT is basically doing intensive exercise in intervals right? Does this apply to sit ups, push ups, squats, plank ? Because I do these exercise regularly in my room

If I can only do 2-3 chin ups? Haha anyway just my insecurity

Armesh is 180cm and 54kg la. I wanna go around 68kg or so only. I really want to shed the body fat first until around 20% first then I'll start bulking mode, that is, eat more calories

Looking at my belly fat, gosh ! Ya know, it's the most annoying thing for me now and for a long time now, never really took initiative to address it until I found ketosis.

My aim is just 20% body fat, not 10-12% like Armesh lol. 20% is still plenty decent and my frame is not small. I will give myself around 2-3 months to get to 20% BF

Then I'll start bulking with more fats and protein in my diet

175cm and 72.5kg. Around 25% BF.

I'm aiming to shred 5% body fat until around 20% which is considered extremely good for me as I've always been around 25% for my entire life LOL.

I estimate when my weight drops to around 68kg or so, my BF should be around 20%.

From then on, I'll start bulking (eating more calories) and let ketosis eat up the remaining body fat

You mean to say a Ketogenic diet is not clean enough? How so?

Yeah, I'm new to gym workouts. Was never really interested in getting ripped and all these stuff and until one day I just decided to lose weight and look good

I'm taking it easy as I've only been to the gym 2 weeks now, still learning about the equipments and all. I do sit ups, push ups, planking, squats in my room almost everyday

Ketogenic diet is very clean In fact, it is much more healthy than a high carb diet. It doesn't have all the diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, obesity that are often associated with high carb diet. In fact, ketogenic diets are widely used to treat severe illness such as cancer, epilepsy in children, brain disorders and of course heart diseases

I wasn't the one using the term" clean " first.

Have I actually tried high Carb diet? Lol I've been doing high carb diet 99% of my life same with every other person I know.

Lol I'm pointing to you the facts about high Carb diet but if you refuse to listen and remain ignorant, I won't be bothered explaining further. Evidence is all out there and studies done time after time points to high Carb diet being bad.

What's your definition of eating crap ? Eating lots of saturated fats like butter and bacon?

My reply did address your question that's why I don't really see the point you're trying to make?

You first said to clean up my diet.

I told you that my diet is clean.

You feigned ignorance about keto and never bothered to learn about it.

I explained to you why keto is good and why high Carb diet is bad for you and I asked you what is "eating like crap?"

You conveniently dodged the question and asked me to read back my own post when you can't even debate further. Lol.

Looks like it's end of discussion.

Seriously? We're both talking about diet and now you say you don't care if I'm doing whatever diet? You said I shouldn't eat like crap. Yes correct. But I defended myself by telling you I don't eat like crap. I further explained why high Carb is bad as it's often associated with metabolic diseases and heart problems.

To be real honest I'm not here looking for an argument but you made it happen by saying. It's only natural that I defended myself



Anyway bro just clarifying myself properly. Want to make more friends and not enemies!

Probably off topic but do gyms such as Celebrity Fitness/Fitness First give out trial periods like 1 month to try the gym facilities for potential new members?
