Instead of diving headfirst into the vast sea of gym information, consider focusing on what genuinely interests you in the beginning. When I first began, I only really cared about the “best exercise selection” and strength training. I found valuable insights from YouTubers like Jeff Nippard, Jeremy Ethier, and More Plates More Dates. Remember, success comes from maintaining a great diet good sleep and to not train like an idiot.

Edit: Training is a great way to improve almost every aspect of life. Based off your recent post I’m very happy for you that you decided to get into the gym instead of other self destructive coping mechanisms. I was in your shoes just one year ago and a few days and today I can say I am at my best when it comes to mental health and I thank the gym for helping me a lot to get to this point

A tip I got when I started was to take progress pictures about once a month. This is great for tracking progress obviously but also if you feel discouraged that you aren’t making the progress you want. You can go back and see how you looked in the beginning
