Never been to a gym(yet)

[Antarctica]

Hey guys, I'm 99% sure this has been covered before, but I wasn't sure where to look outside of the sticky posts, and I didn't wanna blow 2 hours looking for my answer there, so..


If I am going to start working out at a gym, what weight should I start at?(Or should I use an empty bar to get the correct form?) If need be I could submit pictures so you could critique my weakest points(which, living my last 19 years as a gamer, are pretty much everything lol).


Any comments, help, flames, judgements, etc would be appreciated! Thanks!

Getting the form down is a must. You dont want to injure yourself and then relearn it later on.

What are you trying to do? lose weight? gain weight?

I am currently 160lb, most of it is belly chub(but I still look pretty average).

I would like to bulk up and eventually settle around 180lb-190lb. Maybe 200 if I like how I fit in it. I have bookmarked Warboss Alex's starting up thread, and written down a 3-day split to follow.
