Veeky Forums I have a gym membership and want to lift but I don't know where to even begin and I don't want to look...

I did. I must be retarded because I missed the chapter about not looking like an idiot in front of the alpha male chad with a harem.

I'm looking at the sticky right now. Do I start with machines or actual weights? What kind? What exercise? Which muscles? How many reps? On what days? For how long?

Not saying I'm not considering it but I'm probably less likely to jump into the weight stations knowing that everyone is going to look at me like I'm the alpha loser in a 5 mile radius.

If anything I'm probably going to do what I've been doing and spend an hour on the elliptical in the corner for an hour until I get bored and stop going for a few months.

Dunno. Random Veeky Forums pic.

>Sounds like you have some deep-seated issues you need to fix, friend.

Embarrassment? Shame? Yes, I am ashamed of who I am and how I look.

Yeah anyone who judges newfags at the gym for trying and putting in effort has some serious issues

This is what I'm trying to avoid.

I'm not getting to the quit part because I haven't gotten to the starting part, because I don't even know where to begin.

This.

Gym goers are usually supportive and willing to help. I see fatties like you who come in at 8-9pm and care far too much about what others think.

Just lift light and progress slowly.

it's not really, but nearly all of her back pics are taken from that or similar angles.

weights, the ones that your program tells you to, all of them, as many as your program tells you to do, any three non-consecutive days, until you're done ya dum

>find courage to start lifting
It's all in your head, retard. Just find a beginner program and do it.

You might be looking, but are you actually reading it you dumb shit? Scroll down to
>Lifting weights: example programs
Pick one and just do it.

>Going to the gym to lose weight

Make a meal plan for yourself first and lose some weight if you're feeling self-conscious. Going to the gym will only make you bigger and leaner if you have the right nutrition.

It’s easier if you have a friend who lifts to go with to show you the basics. Off get a PT if you have money.

Whatever you do don’t take advice from anyone here. If you’re not sure why just go check out the Faces of Veeky Forums thread.
