What is the proper procedure for showering in a gym locker room?
This is going to sound like a stupid question. I apologize. But I've had it on my mind for a while and it needed to be asked.

Lack of confidence starting new routines at gym

Is it good to use a steam room after working out?
I have a habit of using a steam room (moist heat) after I work out at the gym. I do this weekly.
Is this helpful for recovery? Should I use the steam room immediately after my workouts, or should I wait?

How do I beat gym anxiety?
Whenever I go to a gym to train I get really nervous because I feel as though people are looking at me or that they think I look stupid. It just really makes me not want to go to the gym at all and I lose motivation, any pointers?

Can you do 5X5 program if your gym only has a smith machine and weights?
My gym has a smith machine and weights besides lot of machines. I am wondering if one can do the 5x5 program effectively with just the smith machine. I get the bench press and incline for your chest, but what about squats and deadlifts and rows?
