bench press, squat, dead lift. google search "5x5 workout", and start there. look on youtube for videos of people doing the exercises. and then yeah, you can just go into the gym and start doing them. if you have any friends that lift, i am sure they would be more than happy to show you if you just ask. if you have real hangups about this, you can also pay for routine sessions with a personal trainer at most gyms. they can show you what to do. and honestly, you could go into any gym, and just ask anyone on the bench press if they'd mind helping you get started bench pressing because youve never done it before and you dont really know what youre supposed to be doing. 99.9% chance they will be happy to show you too. etc. everyone who goes to the gym is there for the same reason, and nobody there feels anything but respect for anyone else who is there. no need to overthink it. there are tons of ways to get started

5x5 is espoused by every faggot and their mom here. It's a shit routine for noobs with 11 inch arms who know nothing of fitness. 3 exercises 4 if your amped 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for every exercise 4 days a week. Focus on each muscle group once. Chest, back, arms, legs. In that order as some of those muscles are used in other compounds. Ask any of these fags who say 5x5 for imgur links gurantee they look like shit. Glo and any advanced lifter will tell you otherwise. Don't forget to stretch before and after workouts with a roller.
