when i was new I was 15ish and i went to the library and checked out the maximum amount of books on training i could find and i learned.. combine that with a great weightlifting coach in high school and it was easy to pick it up.

most of these morons just show up at the gym and don't even attempt to learn proper weightlifting they just go there to play around. as long as they stay out of my way i really don't care. luckily my gym is big and it has a low population so it isn't a problem, if it was a high traffic gym then it would be a major issue

A skinny FB friend threw out a status requesting workout routines as he's about to join a gym. He wants to gains size and strength. I was amused at how many responses recommended bicep/tricep/flys/cable exercises. NO ONE but me recommended ANY of what I call the six essentials, especially for newcomers. Not to mention the dietary recommendations were shit.

Vertical press
Horizontal press
Vertical row
Horizontal row
Squats
Dead lifts

If you're a newb, this is all you have to do for a while. Ancillaries are a waste of time, for the most part.

Even if you are a seasoned weightlifter, these are essential in my opinion. These are staples of every workout plan I follow.

Isn't this where you're supposed to do curls ?(just the bar)

 

[Mad Jasper]

Yep, I always use the curl rack for squats.

The gym noobs are definitely increasing. Its been harder to get to the squat rack, people are tying up multiple machines, and nobody is re racking their weights.

Makes me want to frisbee some 45lb plates at their kneecaps
