Hi. My age is 21, height 5ft 6in and weighing 128lb,
I've joined a gym last week and have been trying to do all freestyle exercises without lifting any weight but I'm unable to do it properly like I can't do a proper military push ups instead I do a knee push up and not a single pull ups. I really want to build a lean body but I'm lacking in strength. What should I do so as to increase my strength and do all exercises properly. Your help will be really appreciated.
Thank You

First keep going and keep working hard and smart. Second give your body time to recover and adapt to the demands. And third, feed yourself nutritious, muscle building foods (good fats and proteins... and tons of fluids.) Many people cannot do proper body weight exercises, that is why many of the machines and weights were made. Rather than doing a 128lb pull up for 0 reps, do a 60lb pull down for 4 sets of 8 reps on the pull down machine.
Leave your ego and emotions at the door when you enter the gym and just do good work to make your body better and stronger each and every time you go in. Get a trainer or a knowledgable buddy to help you with machines and weights. And when you are strong enough to properly do you body weight on the pull down machine... then go do pull ups.
