    I would highly recommend P90X. I even have a 90 day program starting this Monday if you guys want in.

    Just friend me on facebook and I will get you in the group.

    Do Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer from bodybuilding.com....12 weeks and you won't bulk up : )

    While DVDs can work for experienced lifters, if you are new to lifting, I would suggest that you start with a class or a trainer so they can make sure you are doing it with the correct form--especially if you are lifting heavy. Good luck!

    Lots of good suggestions folks! P90 is a fine system but I wouldn't really consider it weight lifting, maybe general physical fitness?

    The method I've completely committed myself to is 5/3/1 (2nd edition) by Jim Wendler. New Rules, 5x5, and Jamie Eason are all fine methods too. Find something you like and kick some butt. :)

    Agree with Stronglifts 5x5 and NROL. Starting Strength is also an excellent program. startingstrength.com has a lot of good articles and videos too. Really, as a beginner, just focus on your compound lifts. There's really no need for isolations at this point.
