Anyway, slight fitness question, I'll be hitting the gym within an hour of the LC finishing, first time hitting stuff properly. Anyway, just wondering what the conventional wisdom is about starting weights. I know I can squat 75kg easily from dicking around at parties and so on, so should I start with that straight off or just go from an empty bar and work up to it over a couple of weeks?

brianthebard wrote: » Ok fair enough, I just wondered cause I have a habit of lifting people while drunk but that's generally more of a quarter squat. Do you know anyone who lifts? Imo the best thing you can do is go lift with someone who's been at it a while if that's possible. You've been on here a while so I guess you know what the proper depth is and have an idea about form, but its good to have someone watch if you can. Regards what weight to start with, something simple like moving up 10kg every set then picking a heavy enough weight (say 60-65) for 3-5 sets should be enough. Open to corrections if anyone has anything to add to that.

Will be stickified if public demand calls for it!!!
