I personally learn from youtube. Just trial and error. Start with lighter weights so you dont hurt yourself easily.

I only went through the useless 3 session PT full of crap. Nothing much learnt from those sessions.

Takes time to learn

how do you differentiate injury and ache? some say having ache is good as body building muscle and some say is bad...  rclxub.gif

I am no expert but to me, lets say if you are working out your chest muscles, but at the end of the day you are feeling the soreness from your biceps and triceps...means you are doing it wrongly....

Injuries normally last longer than soreness... like unable to extend your forearm...unable to lift the shoulders up....joint issues... or spine injury....etc....

Keep in mind that I am also new to the lifting game.

Few months ago a friend of mine bring me train at CF since his friend is a PT..... Then later when i do squat he suddenly corrects me lol bla bla bla and the moment i facepalm later he do chest exercises.....

The truth is that he doesn't even lift and he doesn't even work his calves lol.....
Bro u should already know that PT they just guide u lol they didn't know what may works for him might be different for u lol....

For example the way you do squat might be different. I know those PT would always correct one since they got more experience....

yeah...just saying that the 3 PT sessions are quite waste of time. Most of the time the PT was just staring at chicks at the gym while giving me advises. lolmax

Hey, sorry im a newbie here.. i always here the term squat.. but what ir really is? Is it hard to do alone ?

try body weight squat first. Less risky and dangerous... then maybe you can do goblet squats...you can google them if you are not farmiliar with them.

Then slowly move to barbell squats.

Maybe you find it weirds but.. Yes, I do admit that I have 0 knowledge in working out or bulking up, but because I would like to start gaining some mass (I'm skinny type), I know I am not good at it.. that is why when i purchase the protein shake, I would get some recommendation from asking the store staff.

Just to share...mass gainer is better for people who are skinny and trying to put on mass if you cannot eat alot of whole foods? since shakes are easier to drink than foods to swallow.

I myself are the fat type so I dont go for the mass gainer...I just need the extra protein in my diet,thus, the whey protein shake...

Try to eat more calories if you wanna bulk up (calorie surplus) calculate your required calories for your bodyweight and maybe add 200 to 300 calories for now to your diet.
