Post your workout pls, going to the gym for the first time tomorrow and I feel so lost

Be humble and keep it simple.
I wouldn't work out 2 days in a row as a beginner. Especially push pull will overlap with recovery if you are not adapted to basic exercises yet. PPL isn't for beginners imo.

Just start with the machines.
>>

This is taken from the Reddit PPL

PULL
Deadlifts 1x5+/Barbell rows 4x5, 1x5+ (alternate, so if you did deadlifts on Monday, you would do rows on Thursday, and so on)
3x8-12 Pulldowns OR Pullups OR chinups
3x8-12 seated cable rows OR chest supported rows
5x15-20 face pulls
4x8-12 hammer curls
4x8-12 dumbbell curls

PUSH
4x5, 1x5+ bench press/4x5, 1x5+ overhead press (alternate in the same fashion as the rows and deadlifts)
3x8-12 overhead press/3x8-12 bench press (do the opposite movement: if you bench pressed first, overhead press here)
3x8-12 incline dumbbell press
3x8-12 triceps pushdowns SS 3x15-20 lateral raises
3x8-12 overhead triceps extensions SS 3x15-20 lateral raises

LEGS
2x5, 1x5+ squat
3x8-12 Romanian Deadlift
3x8-12 leg press
3x8-12 leg curls
5x8-12 calf raises

For linear progression. Add 5lbs to upper body compounds and 10lbs to lower body compounds every week.
Also never hurts to add weighted dips and weighted pull-ups on push pull days.
>>
Do 3xweek full body, basic machines. No fancy shit.
Do some stretching and core at home.
>>

I saw this one before but everyone keeps saying it’s shit for beginners. Any modifications/alternatives you recommend?
>>
>>74782899
I plan on taking a day off between each day. Will probably do something like PushxPullxLegx or something until my muscles adapt, planning to start off with 3 days/week then work my way up from there
>>
>>74782782
>Pull
one arm machine/cable row
heavy machine row
reverse peck deck
cable row or lat pull

>Leg
Leg Press or BB Squat
Back Extension or Romanian
GHD
Leg Extension or BSS

>Push
BB Overhead Press (and sometimes cable lateral raise or upright row)
DB Fly Press or High Incline BB Press
Cable or DB Pullover
Cable Pushdown

Make sure you do warm up properly for the leg and push days.
For push you want to activate rear delts, scap depression, rotator cuff.
For legs you want to activate glutes and hip extension.
Pull days warm themselves up.
Core and calves are done every other day independently.
I never needed to isolate arms or do a lot of chest.
