Started going to the gym recently.

Why I started:
Goals of gaining more strength generally and better physical appearance. I'm not bad looking or fat or anything - just want to strive to be better.

Program:
Trying to keep up 6 days/week PPL program. If it gets too much I'll reduce it to 3 days a week and find where I can keep it comfortably. Love the program so far. All the classic compound exercises are there as well as some accessories to keep it interesting etc.

Favorite exercise:
Toss up between squats and seated cable rows.
Squats make you feel like a beast and there's an amazing feeling associated with lifting heavy stuff on your back.
Seated cable rows I just find enjoyable and feels good to do.

Diet:
Doing some recop at the moment. I'd estimate that I'm a tad below 20% BF so I'm eating at a small deficit at the moment to get that down a bit. After I get there I'll probably start into bulk/cut cycles but that's a while off so far. Tip for anyone looking to cut fat/eat less: try intermittent fasting. Might not be for everyone and it's really just preference but I'm really liking it.

Supps:
5g creatine/day
Protein powder
May start taking fish oil once I get further in.

Takeaways so far:
It's great. Everyone who doesn't currently do this should do it - I'm sad I took so long to start.
I was initially put off a bit by the barrier to entry in regards to how much there is to learn (exercise form, program to choose, diet, supplements, rest, injury, etc etc) but I did a bit of reading and just started going. Learned a lot by researching questions as I get them, watching videos on exercise form, getting gym rats to check form etc etc.

tl;dr shit's good.
