[quote=Anonymous]Can you get someone to show you how to use them - is there a trainer? Yes, youtube videos are good, but it may be helpful to have someone show you how to adjust them for your size and suggest starting weights. (I suggest writing this down.) They'll suggest a program like, x times a week (2 is totally fine), probably 2 sets of 8-12 or 10-15 reps, go up to the next weight when you do the high end of those reps. But any program which has you lifting consistently, with progressively higher weights, in a rep range that makes sense (so, like, not 40 reps of something), which doesn't injure you, and which you do consistently is a good program, and you'll get stronger on it. I'm a powerlifter but I started with machine weights and the things that free weights have over machine weights are not particularly relevant to most peoples' interests or goals -- maybe they will be to yours at some point, but if so you can always change.
