Starting Strength is an excellent program. Be aware that not all trainers are equal. https://startingstrength.com/
Mark Rippetoe’s book started it all and is an invaluable resource for understanding proper form and how to approach weightlifting - and what to look for if you decide you want a trainer. That said, when I was starting out, I didn’t follow the aggressive weight buildup that many plans suggest. Your muscles will respond much more quickly than your joints, and you have to give them time to adjust. Buy a proper belt (discussed in the book) and consider taking some collagen to help your joints adjust. Slow and steady wins the race. https://aasgaardco.com/store/books-posters-dvd/books/startin... He also has videos on youtube demonstrating proper form. |

Funnily enough, when I tried couch-to-5k it I had to pause to recover from shin-splints aka tendonitis.
Now I've started bouldering more than usual, I'm getting climbers elbow (tendonitis) as well as other pains in the wrist and forearm that are not muscle-related.
