  • Haha, thanks for the tip. I will definitely check them (him!) out.
  • Thank you for the article - I think I understand a bit more about progressive overload now. However, there was a lot of terminology that I did not understand. I do not know what squats, deadlifts, bench pressing, etc. is. Do you think I should get a personal trainer to teach me? I was just planning on watching some videos…
  • Thank you all for the responses. That makes a lot of sense that "heavy" is relative to your current strength. I was just confused by everything I read and thought I should be starting with like 20 lb weights or something!
  • Thank you! Yes, I realize that there will be some fat gain too, but I want to make that as minimal as possible. I eat a very high-protein diet already so there should be no problem maintaining that, and I plan to make the extra calories mostly protein. Thanks again.
