Hi everyone, I'm just getting into (falling in love with) lifting and wondered if anyone has any recommendations of either people to follow on Instagram or good Facebook groups to join.

There are plenty of good accounts and pages out there, with different themes and angles.

Female lifters I enjoy following include: Jennifer Thompson, Gaelle Ketchanke, Steffi Cohen, Stephanie Sanzo, Clara Peyraud, Jenny Todd

I also follow Eric Helms, Mike Israetel, Dr Nadolsky for strength training science

On FB I like British Powerlifting and British Powerlifting Women because they're specific to my sport. There are generic lifting groups like Barbell Beauties which can be good for the community aspect but just be mindful that most members are not coaches so it's not necessarily the best place for informed advice

Thank you! I'll take a look at those....I literally didn't know where to start

Might be worth saying too that at the moment I'm hoping weights will help with weight loss, so any accounts on those themes would be great too!
