1) Think movement over exercise ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
Ask yourself,
Is it upper or lower body ?
Upper wise are you pushing or pulling the weight ?
Lower body is it knee or hip dominant?
The beauty of these new gyms is they have lots of machines. But ultimately a lot of them are just a variation of an exercise you were already doing.
Take the shoulder press, it's still a shoulder press whether it's with a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells, pin loaded machine and plate loaded machine.
Your ultimatly still pushing a weight overhead.
The same applys for chest press, seated rows, squat variations etc
Don't come away from that principle. Always think what's the movement here.
2) Stick to what you know at first ๐
The new machines are exciting and they have there place eventually, but if your going in with a plan of hitting 8 new machines you've never used before, obviously your gonna feel a bit unsure at first.
Instead add maybe one new machine to upper and one to a lower day, get good at it for 4-6 weeks then add in another and stagger them into the training plan.
Similar to point one above, alot of the exercises are the same, it's just different variations you will be doing.
3) Watch exercise tutorial videos in advance ๐ฑ
YouTube shorts can be great for this, or follow my page with 100+ exercise demos in under 60s
4) Train with someone ๐งโ๐คโ๐ง
Nothing better than having your mate with you and yous can be unsure together ๐ค๐ผ
Hope it helps โ๐ผ
