One tip you would give gym newbies
-
-
Learn the basic compound lifts - squat, deadlift, bench, rows/pullups and (overhead) press.
They are the staple of any program, no matter the goal, and most other exercises are variations of them.
I would also advise to learn how to eat right as early as possible.
I think you covered everything lol.
This. You forgot to add that as a newbie, it should be at max 3 workouts per week for a few months until one's body can cope with the change of pace

Don't feel discouraged. Even something as simple as cardio will make you feel better afterwards. Results won't be immediate, but you will be rewarded eventually.
-
Seek serious, scientific advice, not anecdontal cases.

I agree with ALL of those posts. Don't compare and get going with all those lifts.
