Ask guys at the gym. Most of the time they are happy to help if you genuinely need it. Also check out these web sits for visuals and more...

If you go this route, scope out the scene and find someone who appears to have a good idea of what they are doing. I can't tell you how many guys (and ladies) I see who are lifting/lowering too fast, have improper form, not breathing, or do other very odd things. Oh the "people in the gym" stories I can tell...I'm sure everyone in here has a ton.

Ahhh, if it were not for my husband and his knowledge of weight training and form, I would look like an idiot. Sooooo true, find someone who really knows what they are doing. It's amazing that once you learn proper form and speed (for lack of better description), how many people in the gym just are not getting what they really should be getting out of their workouts.. using proper weight is important too. Good luck! Sometimes just asking around, friends, realtives, etc. you find someone. I agree with mbrooke5, seek out a coach, they would DEFINATELY know someone, if they can't themselves assit you personally. GOOD LUCK!
