I started working out 5 days ago, but im sore af
Played 3-4 matches today after a break.
Now i can't fucking aim, and my elbow hurts
elbows should never be hurting
check out some youtube videos to understand form and the more you go, try to understand how many sets/reps you should be doing as well as the weight for it.
and since you're cutting, focus on your calorie maintenance and your protein intake.
my best advice to those getting into going to the gym is to stay consistent. getting off the couch everyday gets you 60% closer to having the body you want
also check with your friends or other people if your workouts are good. if you feel overworked, just take a break and see where you can improve your workouts.

Make sure you get 8 hours of sleep a day, eat plenty of foods rich in protein and carbohydrates, and don't forget to drink plenty of water so as not to overload your kidneys. Before you go to the gym, stretch the limb you are going to train on that day, and when you get to the gym, warm up for 10 minutes by running on a treadmill or 3 sets to failure without any weight on the first exercise you do to prepare the muscle you are going to train to avoid injuries. Your elbow shouldn't be hurting, you probably did some chest/biceps exercise wrong, put an ice pack on it and don't train chest or arm anymore that week to avoid further injury. When you do chest exercises, especially with a free bar, be careful with the position of your hand on the bar in relation to your shoulder, I can't explain well this part here, but ask the instructor at the academy to advise you about it.
For beginner, its recommended to working out for 3 days a week. You need to introduce working hard to your body, so you need rest more. Try fullbody workout first. Working out is hard at the beginning because of sore. if you can past the extremely sore part, its easy.
If have some spare money, fundamentals hyperthropy by jeff nippard is a great ebook to buy. You can learn a lot of things from his youtube too.
Keep up!
Happens. Just take days off from weights so you recover and you will eventually get used to it and have less problems. When I started doing basic weight training after not doing for long time I wasn't able to straighten my arm properly for 2 days and muscles felt sore. But as you do more it becomes easier the next day but still need to give muscles time to chill. But yeah if your elbow is hurting then you are likely doing something wrong.
