Persuaded by multiple articles about the benefits of lifting heavy weights for the middle aged, I have rejoined the gym. Planning to do the odd class, but mainly to explore lifting heavy(ish) and hopefully losing some weight while getting strong.
However, I can't find a programme online that I can follow. Google just comes up with 'oh yes it's a very good idea' or vague pointers about doing functional strength, like sitting squats or tying your shoelaces.
Is there something that will tell me 'lift this weight, this many times, for this long, then do this'?
If left to my own devices I'll fanny about on the machines and get bored and frustrated, like I've done many times before...
