| Topic | Should I try out a gym for the first time ever? |
| Xenozoa425 01/10/20 11:02:22 AM #16: | Romulox28 posted... just my two cents. personally i believe in starting small and working your way up. at the beginning i dont think its important to get into complicated barbell routines or have a particular diet, i believe it's more important to learn what it feels like to work out properly and develop consistency, so going to the gym multiple times a week becomes an automatic routine for youA lot of us forget that we are talking to a complete beginner, and you did a great job of making it more simple and easy to explain (I forgot to mention that resistance machines are perfect for beginners, that's what I did at first), but saying that it's not important to have a particular diet is nonsense. If you are going to the gym and planning on either losing weight or bulking up, then you need to evaluate your diet and eat the right foods. Good quality proteins, healthy fats, plenty of salads and fibrous veggies, some complex carbs, small amounts of fruit, and as close to zero as possible with sugars and refined grains. 80% of the work on weight loss is done in the kitchen, 20% is done in the gym. The body cannot breakdown and rebuild muscle efficiently if you don't give yourself good nutrition. I'll mention sleep again as something that many people overlook but is super important, your body needs plenty of sleep, as that is when the muscles will rebuild and become stronger. --- "Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel.
