Anyone know if Melb Uni gym is noob friendly? At 6 foot 4 and 72kg (up 10kg from last year through home gymming) I pretty much have no self confidence. Also a few more questions about the uni gym;
Is it really busy at all times? or are there off-peak times where I can go in and just commandeer any machine or bench I want?
Is the gym big enough to have free benches and what-not available on an average day?
Should I get a gym friend or is it possible to solo gym without a spotter? 
It has pros and cons... it is a fairly noob friendly gym, but also has all the equipment so a full on pro would have everything they needed. It does however get very busy very quickly, even though the gym itself is quite big.
The great thing about melbourne is that it doesnt really have 'benches' per se. its got i think 6 double sided cages that are completely adjustable. that means there are 12 fully adjustable stations that you can use for:
squats, benches, incline/flat, overhead press, pull ups, deadlifts basically whatever you like. So theres usually enough equipment, but bear in mind it gets really busy really quickly.. also, because they all have safety guards, you can do it all safely (including bench press) without a spotter
