>How do I talk to the gym employees without coming off as a complete fucking autist?

Say you want a gf and ask what workout they would recommend for that.

Starting strength.

read the sticky Learn to track your macros and calories. Most gym staff are typically idiots, however the maintenance workers are usually cool.

I'm more asking about gym etiquette than weightloss advice

Thanks lad

Try not to think too much about things. Stay fresh and don't get mired in dead end thinking or feeling. A series of stretches and walks outside will keep your head and heart clear.

Clarity and unification of purpose.

Other posters have said the rest.

Remember that nobody gives a shit about you. Have a routine in mind before you walk in, don't just fuck around aimlessly. Start your sets with empty bars to get a feel for the movement before adding weight to it. Don't try to impress anyone by lifting more than you can handle with shitty form or range of motion.

In weight training, the saying "slow and steady wins the race" is gospel. The rabbit tried coming to the gym but he made a wrong turn and ended up in Snap City, meanwhile, the turtle added weight slowly but consistently and ended up fucking the rabbit's girlfriend.

>says the faggot who takes an ipad to the gym

I'm inclined to agree with that guy, who the fuck brings a 10" tablet? Where do you even put it when you're actually working out? On the sweat and dirt covered floor?
