And make sure you are using good form. A few pointers:
Move slow.
Think about the motion the machine had you do.
Add only one or two movements per week.
Watch the guys or gals that seems to know what they are doing and ask questions.
Work out at the same times so you run into these same people.
Ask them why they do something a certain way.
Read a few magazines and study what is going on.
Find a personal trainer and take a few lessons.
