don't worry about that
it's not about where you start its about where you go
Jonathan Gonzalez
Whatever you can lift with good form.
Angel Reyes
who fucking cares you're a beginner
Zachary Turner
bare bar so you can work on your form first
Ayden Anderson
nope
if you have an athletic or manual labor background and are capable of squatting 285 your first day (real numbers from a friend of mine), working with an empty bar will not improve your form
follow the starting strength recommendation, start at a weight that causes bar speed to decrease a little

Look at the OP, user. The picture in it alone should tell you enough about the OP himself.
Jeremiah Harris
good point
he should start with a broomstick

just take your bodyweight and try to ohp that
double your bw and try to bench that
triple your bw and try to squat that
quadruple your bw and try to deadlift that
i'm not there yet cuz i've only been lifting for 10 weeks but i will get there eventually.

Dylan Torres

Mason Cooper
oh you sweet sweet child
you have to learn gym rules
Jackson Powell
not him but how do you not die if you're benching without a spotter?
Jayden Garcia
you fucking roll is you fail
also you do it on a bench press
Aaron Sanders
You just die, user. Death is a fair punishment for not being able to finish your reps.

Jordan Morales
lost a gymbro like that
Jayden Evans
bench: 135
squat: 175
deads: 250
of course these would only be possible for a beginner if they have a background in manual labor or sports
Kayden Garcia
I'd say, depending on what you're comfortable with, try these numbers for 10 reps, if you feel like you can do more, increase it by 5 lbs until the last couple reps are tough. If you can't do 10, decrease by 5 lbs until you can.
>Bench: 95lbs
>Squat: 115lbs
>Deadlift: 1pl8 ; 135 lbs
>Overhead press: 65lbs
>Pendlay Row: 95lbs
These will vary depending on your strength level, but if you're a beginner, focus on learning the compound movements. Watch your form in the mirror, ask for spots, warm up properly, listen to your body. Remember that lifting is you vs. you, not you vs. the rest of the gym. Don't ego-lift.

All these people giving this guy shit but, if the gym is empty and you can't find someone nearby to spot you and there's a few squat racks empty, of course do this. It's better than guillotining your head off.
Jayden Long
why are you putting the bar over your neck
it's supposed to be at nipple level
