1st day at gym

Legs sore on the day after. 1st time in gym. The instructor said to go with 40 lbs for squat since it's my first time in gym making me instead of doing my 1RM for squat I settled for much less.

I don't know how much weight to put on the calf raise machine and the leg curls- ended up following whatever weight(ie just the 2 square plates) the instructor prepared for me.
i think the instructer told you to go for less so you can get the form right as if you started with heavy weights you could mess ur back up pretty bad, and dont forget to do warm up sets working the weight up, hope you get the results you want
