Basic strength training plan

[PeppyMTB]

Looking for help. I’m a 48 year old male. Been on tirz for a few months and I’m down 30 lbs. Feeling a lot better, but now I want to get back into the gym.

I used to do a lot of cardio, but for the past 3 years I’ve honestly been really lazy. As an adult I have never really done much resistance training. I have a chance to kind of start from scratch now and I want to build my exercise foundation around weight training instead of cardio.

How do I start? Can someone give me the basic lifts, rep counts, set counts, and how to combine it all? I feel really lost right now. Thanks for any input.

Most gyms offer a few sessions with a trainer- you might start there. Congrats on your weight loss!

Or you can read online how to to all that, what I do that works for me is I started low and went heavy, now that I archived that I do 3 reps of 150LB x5 then I do 6 reps of 100LB x6, legs I do more weight. Remember start low like 30LB and go up every week like 10LB.
I am 59 If I can do it so can you.
