Any overweight and unfit people starting lifting that would like to join me?

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

So I'm fast approaching fifty and finally in the headspace to approach getting stronger and fitter. I'm very overweight but have decent stamina and don't struggle with stairs/ swimming etc.
I've just joined a gym, an old school weight lifting one and had my equipment induction last night. Tomorrow I get my twelve week programme.
Surprisingly looking forward to it but would love some company on here for support!

Crikey those are high starting weights! What % body weight is 95kg?

If you've never lifted before you really need to make sure your form is correct , especially on the deadlifts.

How many sets / reps are you doing?

I weigh about 95k too so full body weight 😮 Really surprised how much I can lift and I know it's a high starting weight. I'm doing 3 sets of 8-12, with plenty of supervision so form can be checked. The gym is super hot on form and safety (they host powerlifting events so are well versed in the requirements) so I'm in good hands!

I need to join you
