Hi, 

First of all, sorry if I am posting in the wrong section.

I am a beginner in weightlifting.


A little bit about me, My name is Daim. I am from Malaysia. I am 26 years old. 

I used to weight around 127kg, and then after two years of jogging (5km morning + 5km evening) and bad nutrition, I manage to get my weight to around 65kg. 

I have shortness of breath cause by my GERD and 3 trigger finger on my left hand.

As for my body, it doesn't looks bad when I stand, not good either, but when I lie down on my side or doing plank/push up, the area around my stomach kind of fall off, its real scary, I don't know if its my skin or fat. 


Currently, I am doing a 5 days split dumbbell workout, I am on my 17 weeks now.

I only have a pair of dumbbell that can go up to 20kg each.


During the time I want to lose weight, everyday after I finished my jog, I go to the scales to check my weight, doing this really gives me the motivation to keep on jogging everyday. But, now, I don't know if the thing that I am doing is having any effect or not on my body which most of the time gets me down and make me wonder if I should keep going. 


My target is to have a lean body and gain muscle.


Please give me some advice/tips. Is this routine good for me? Is there anything I should change? 

Thanks in advance and I am sorry if this shouldn't be posted here.
