Girls how do you learn proper form at the gym?? I’m too awkward to ask for help but I always feel like I’m being watched and judged (ik it’s mental). Signed, a girl just trying to get jacked lol

Honestly my form for everything SUCKED back when I first started. Looking back it was probably a sight for some people to see, but nobody really cares. What helped me was watching a lotttt of YouTube videos on proper form, and then putting that into practice for my next lifting session

YouTube and then work out near a mirror so you can see if you’re doing it right

Just mass around with your positioning until you feel it in the muscle you want, “correct form” is silly, just move until you feel it where you want

YOUTUBE. for form videos i recommend alan thrall. write it down so you can reference it at the gym. if you feel a rep go smoother than normal you know you got it

That’s if you don’t have someone to teach you. You can always ask someone if they would mind teaching you

OP 9w

Yeah It is definitely not easy and it takes a LOT of time and work. So while it would be nice to have friends who have been in the gym a while help you out, sometimes the only option is to learn on your own. I literally spent hours every week researching and practicing. Yeah it sucked but it was so worth the time bc now I am confident in what good form is yk?
