Veggie girl needs to lose 40lbs; keen on heavy lifting

TheAmsicles

Hey gang -

I've been on and off this app for ages, and since new year I've been committing to doing it all the time, and am already getting great results. So thought I'd also make my first post in the forum!

I'm a mostly-vegetarian girl, I'm getting to the gym for a good session 3 times a week, and I'm trying to get more out of the time I'm spending there.

So I'm after some tips from friendly strength trainers. The FIs in my gym were useless during my induction, so I don't really want to go back to them, and I'm still a touch too shy to ask all the sweaty dudes in the free weights! I've been doing squats and curls and things, but any tips on other good drills/workouts would be ace. I know, I should cough up for a PT, right? GAH I know! Madly it's embarrassment at being rubbish at everything that stops me.

I spend like 60-90mins in the gym each time I go, and i can't help but feel if I knew what I was doing, I could get better results with a shorter workout.

Also! I have no friends on here! Anyone else looking for support/motivation? Hit me up!
