    First time at the gym.

    I went to the gym yesterday for my first time and I'm a Ectomorph as you can at my stats.

    Anyhow, I've been a computer nerd but surprisingly I lifted quite good for sitting at the computer all day long ?

    Bench Press: 110lbs

    Deadlift : 176lbs

    I'm curious if does weights are typical for a first day at gym ? Remember I have a very very thin body.

    are we talking 1RM or 20+ reps?

    also try not to worry about what other guys are lifting, you only have to beat 1 guy in the gym and that's you, you have your target to beat for next week bro gl

    It depends, how's your form?
    Anyone can lift heavy with **** form, it takes control to actually progress.

    youre telling him to come in and add weight to the bar next week when he's doing 3-5 reps on bench press?

    Drop the weight until you are doing 5-8 CLEAN, CONTROLLED reps for 3 sets

    and I'm assuming youre doing a strength based routine, with squats bench and deadlift being the foundation?

    Not bad at all, I recently helped a guy bench for the first time who weighed rougly 60kg at 5"10 and he did about 5-6 reps of 55kg. Size of your body doesn't matter as long as you can support the weight woth correct form and not hurt yourself. Just keep eating and lifting heavy and that won't be an issue for long. Just google form videos for the big 3 lifts and make sure your form is 110% correct when you next go, don't be afraid to take the weight down if it isn't.
