Guides
Plain answers to the questions people actually have in their first year of lifting. No app required to read them, and none of them will tell you to buy anything until the last paragraph.
How much weight should you start with?
The honest answer: less than you think. How to pick a starting weight, how to tell it is right, and when to add more.
What a first gym workout actually looks like
A full-body session for someone who has never trained: what to do, in what order, how long it takes, and what to do when a machine is taken.
How many days a week should a beginner train?
Three is the usual answer, two is enough to make progress, and four is rarely better. What each week actually looks like, and what to do after a break.
How do you know you are doing an exercise right?
You mostly cannot tell from inside the movement, and that is normal. Three things you can actually check, and what soreness does and does not mean.
General information, not medical advice. If you are carrying an injury, are pregnant, or have a condition that training could affect, talk to a doctor or a qualified coach before you start.
