I encourage all men regardless of the shape you are currently in to start lifting weights. A simple routine consisting of a few lifts that you will stick to and do religiously is a fine start.
Its a pretty simple commitment that will have a positive impact on all aspects of your life both physically and mentally.
If you would like help setting up a simple routine I'm happy to help, I have 20 year experience. 6 months from now with minimal commitment you can see some big changes in yourself.
I’m doing a high rep 5 day split and integrating RPT. It’s killer, I love it, but the CNS/Overtraining feels make me take a day off in-between. I hate it! Sore for 4-7 days after legs, especially but man it gets the results. For example:
Legs 4 sets leg press 20-30 reps 228x30,208x30, 188x30, 168x30 3 sets hack squat 15-20 reps 55x20, 45x20, 35x20 3 sets leg extensions 25-50 reps (that's right 25 to 50 reps, haha) 20x50, 15x50, 10x50 3 sets straight leg deadlifts 10-15 reps 105x15x3 3 sets leg curls 20-30 reps 75x30, 65x30,55x30 3 sets seated calf raises 20-30 reps 25x30, 0x30, 3 sets standing calf raised 15-25 reps 150x25, 135x22
