    I started lifting a really long time ago, so I didn't know a whole lot and there wasn't many places to go for info.
    Beginners shouldn't do bro splits
    Do more weighted carries
    Do more conditioning
    More posterior chain work(deadlifts)

    I would have built my circle of friends to include more fitness oriented peeps, serious barely any of my close friends lift

    Simple, I wish I believed the consequences of NOT lifting while losing weight, mainly the amount of lean body mass lost, and how slow it is to get back.

    Actually, I wish I understood the importance of a perfect posterior tilt while hip thrusting. I'm paying for it now. I also wish I had switched up my deadlift grip earlier from mixed to hook, or had been doing all of my warm up sets double over hand.
