First time hitting the gym as a 23yo male 128kg 6 foot 7, I want to get shredded and stop being fat, any advice? Should I use the machines? Do I need a trainer?

There's a ton, and I mean a FUCKTON of shit about nutrition and training you need to learn. My advice is to just start going and keeping at it, while also browsing fitness related online commuinities and doing your research to figure things out over time. It's normal to feel like you don't know wtf you're doing at first

You don't want a trainer, all they do is make you broke while pushing cardio on you till you puke every session. Start with machines. They should have instructions on the side. Move to dumbells and barbells when you are comfortable and/or have a spotter. Almost all exercise proper form can be found by just googling

As far as nutrition goes if you want to get shredded try to stay withing 1200-1500 while lifting heavy to failure as often as possible. Don't worry about overtraining, few people are evem capable of it

OP remember i solved a captcha to prevent you from listening to this retard
DO NOT EAT 1200 CALS at 6"7, you wanna eat around 500 below your maintaince which will be way way higher than 1700 calories even if you were just resting at that height/weight.
for me im 6'2 106kg expending around 3500 cals a day and eating around 3k, losing weight and feeling great but i move a lot so to find your actual calorie expenditure ask ai or use an online calculator, after a few weeks if you don't lose weight adjust your intake lower by maybe 200cals.
eating 1200 calories a day you WILL want to kill yourself, have 0 energy and not gain any muscle. try to walk a lot throughout the day shoot for as high as humanly possible of a step count and pace that doesnt hurt your body, so you can eat a lot and still be in a deficit. for training as a complete retard dumbells work great you dont need to learn a lot of form and technique, you can also use bodyweight and barbell movements to an even greater effect but these will require a lot more practice and risk injury if you push yourself to early. just make sure you are training each body part hard around 3 times a week, meaning doing around 3 sets per workout of movements you can't do more than 12 reps with the weight you are using, then once you can, increase the weight and start increasing reps over weeks until you can do 12, rinse and repeat. a balanced non processed diet(roughly equal calories from fats/protein/carbs) is the most mindless and effective approach. make sure you drink a ton at your size you need 4+ litres a day.
