Today was my first time gym experience.

I was scared actually. Ive done some research on LYN (sticky post) and decided to do squat, bench press and deadlift.

With all might, I went in to the gym. The machine was like an alien technology for me. I pay RM5 and ask the counter, is there any instructor to teach me how to do it properly. He said NO.

Fuh.. now what should I do. I look around the gym. Then I ask one guy did he know which one is the squat machine. He said no coz he also 1st time. Ok.

I look around again & I saw one guy by the window. Im an introvert so you can imagine how scary this experience for me. So I approach him and I ask him the same question. Luckily, he is a certified coach.

More fortunate, he teach me how to squat with proper technique. I ask him the phone no, and I ask for coach package. He said he just wanted to share. I was so happy.

Ive done a couple of set while he also doing his deadlift regime. After that, he said he need to go.

Im in Gombak by the way, weekend husband. After this I will go back to Alma Bukit Mertajam. I will go to the gym there. 1st time also. Wish me luck.

Hey, there are a lot of videos on youtube about the proper way to do resistance training etc. Definitely helpful

Get the Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe book. Read it 2x, make notes. Practice. You'll be real good in no time.

I am new to gym too... so far i only use treadmill and cross trainer... zero knowledge about all those strength machine... I am gal btw XD

If you gal, won't be any problem. Just yell "Who can teach me" and all the guys will come running

If i do that probably the whole gym think I am insane ==

If either one is a tick then can get free PT?

Good point, I shall consider about it LOL
