I have a lot of anxiety over going to the gym. I know logically it doesnt make any sense and it’s something I need to get over but that’s a huge barrier for preventing me from getting more active. I always feel like I’m doing something wrong and then consequentially looking really stupid somehow, or some asshole will make a gym tiktok and i’ll be in it or something. again, i know this is illogical, but it’s just how i always end up feeling when i work out at a gym. not to mention, even when i do work out there, i have no idea what the hell i’m doing. I know i should have a notebook and a specific routine, but how do I make a routine? should i focus on individual muscles daily, or do several in a day? what do i do if i don’t feel like i need a rest period in between excersises, but if i add more weight or reps, i can’t complete it? how do i find a middle ground with that? any advice would help me so much, so if you’d like to add your two cents i would be thankful. happy new year, comrades. tia
Bench, squat, pulling exercises. The most basic routine I know of is to do bench, squat, and two different pulling workouts for each gym trip. The pulling can be back and or leg. Alternate your pulling workouts throughout the week.
Figure out your max for bench and squat, then base your workouts on those numbers.
There are much more advanced workout plans but this one will get you a lot of quick gains with pretty even muscle growth. It’s the program every high school weight training coach uses.
