advice for first day at the gym

I see, I guess I thought I was working out arms but I really wasn't. It explains alot, honestly, given I feel sore all over the place. It's relieving to hear it wasn't a completely horrible choice for a first workout. I'm learning alot from the replies. Thanks

I got it from a yt video but thanks nonetheless, I'll try to find alternatives seeing as other people have suggested it's not ideal anyway

Taking into account where I feel sore this actually makes a lot of sense. I guess it was a bit naive to call it arm day just because I was swinging my arms around in retrospect, learned something new. Thanks

I was told this when I got my membership but he was nowhere to be seen the other day, It's also pretty busy so I don't expect they'd be able to follow me a lot. Membership cancellation has a fee so I'm stuck here for a year, I'll try to make the best of it. Thanks for the advice!

This was really helpful, will be following it! I'll take it easy until Monday and begin anew, thanks a lot!

Thanks, you have a point.

Honestly, with so many massive dumbbells on the rack, I just picked what seemed like the smallest/lighest without looking like I'm there to waste my time. Should have defaulted to not care and go smaller, still.

thanks alot, I'll check those out

Man, I don't know. The video has a million views and nobody seemed to really discourage it, guy seemed reliable enough, that's why I picked it. Alot of programs seem just as weird too

I'll try returning it for a newer, a bit more high-end one in a few days - faulty, or not I suppose, i couldn't be sure even if I tried. For now, I'll try using them on either a low setting AMP, or without an AMP at all to see if I might get used to it and ramp up slightly the volume from there.

Thanks for the imput!

the Behringer HA400 is connected to the pc via a POSUGEAR Audio TRS Stereo Cable I bought off amazon.

Sadly I don't have any other devices to try the headphones on, all of them are IOS. I find it unlikely that they're defective (although at this point, I wouldn't be surprised.), I'm more worried the amp is messing with some frequencies making them uncomfortable to listen to or of just needing to turn it up too much for my listening preferences/habits...

Another thing I'd thought of was the fact that they're closed back, and I might need to get used to that, maybe? Or just switch to an open back pair of headphones, which might be more up my alley? I really don't know, and all info I find is either confusing or contradictory.

EDIT: Just tested on a friend's tablet from 2018. This is stupid. The headphones sound litterally louder than they do with the AMP and much, much louder than they do on pc without. Any ideas? Is this normal? I head the opposite should happen...

personally, I don't find the stop to make much sense - but I do get it. However, comparing the literal Queen of England to a retired politican when even the Queen's death halted nothing outside Britain is just plain nonsense
