Omg thanks for the advice because I'm a serious filthy casual. I am just sticking to the machines for now because the correct for fucked up form, but I do want to transition to free weights, just coz you you can work multiple areas at once...& it will carry me over if i can't afford a gym membership. So I've been watching YouTubes on proper form and body weight fitness, but it is a bit intimidating because I don't want to injure myself.
The gym I'm at now has a fuckton of weight machines, so I can pretty much get everything. My big focus is rebuilding upper body strength (I used to have an active job with tons of heavy lifting, but have fallen out of shape strength wize). So I'm trying to focus on upper body & core...so I do low weight, 3-5 reps of 12. The only thing i struggle with is full military press, the eagle, chest & assisted pull up.
I do max out on legs because i have alot of leg strength. I mean, I'm kinda learning as I go, but I do want to switch to free weights.
What’s your New Years resolution?

Ya I mean switching to free weights will get you better results, it will just take time to learn good form and get used to the lifts.
If your legs are a lot stronger than your upper body (that makes two of us) than yeah you should do more volume for upper body.
