Yo, a Brooklyn guy over here.

Glad to be representing New York with you dudes!

Over the last year I’ve been going to a super convenient YMCA a few blocks from me, and I just recently got back down to fight’n weight so to speak. That was phase 1 for me, and now I’m facing phase 2, where I wanted to get focused on lifting.

So far, I’ve just been using weight machines and my personal set of adjustable dumbbells at home. I have made some headway from that, but I know I won’t make real progress until I spend some serious time in my gym’s weight room. Since I’m a total newbie at weightlifting, I want to get some coaching to get my form down and avoid doing anything stupid. Unfortunately, I’m just not the type of guy who can mirror whatever he sees on a YouTube tutorial, and considering it’s 2018, it’s surprising how involved searching for a personal trainer is.

I’ve decided the best route for me may be signing up for coaching at a specialist gym that focuses on lifting. Have any of you guys done that, and if so do you have any recommendations? If there’s a different option or approach you think I should consider, I’m totally all ears here.

I’m currently considering a membership at the Brooklyn Barbell Club in Williamsburg, though I think I might be better off going somewhere in Manhattan south of the park, so I can more easily fit in coaching/classes before or after work.

Anyway, even if you don’t have any advice, I’m looking forward to getting better acquainted with you all soon!

Contest prepping for my 1st show in October. I live in Connecticut but work in NYC. My bodybuilding coach just moved to Texas so I'm looking for a lifting buddy if anyone's interested.

Brooklyn guy working on going from skinny to big. It would be cool to connect with fellow new yorkers (mid twenties) doing the same!
