This video, Gym Hacks I Would Tell Every NOOB Lifter, came about after talking with a few semi-beginner lifters who were looking back at their first few months of training in the gym, and the struggles they had as a NOOB (beginner) lifter Most of the struggles these NOOB lifters faced in the gym were AVOIDABLE... it just took some more thought, planning, and preparation.
