Hello! I'm a 31-year old male. I'm from Sweden so forgive me if my English isn't good. I'd my best. I didn't really know where to put this thread... but seeing as I'm right now looking to lose weight I guess this is the best spot?
Anyhow, I'm 174 cm (5' 8½) and weighting about 92 kg (202 lbs). It's really getting to me. I was training for a bit last-last year (2019) and lost about 25 kg (55lbs), but I couldn't see much of a difference, as in muscular definition. It made me feel like I was getting nowhere and my drive dropped. Then the pandemic struck so I couldn't train at all. I was also forced to change my diet from a low carb, high fat diet (LCHF) because my cholesterol went up during that time. These things together has lead to me gaining back all the weight I lost and then some. Now that things are going back to normal i figured could give it another go. Having followed Scott Herman for awhile I figured this could be a good place to start.
But I must admit that I'm quite confused and also worried... see, I'm terribly worried about injuring myself. I also don't have energy to train 6 times a week. Just getting to the gym once a week has been a struggle. I just don't enjoy it and I'm not seeing any positive results. But I digress.
I have looked into the Guaranteed Gains program but the barbell and dead-lifts kinda scare me. I don't have any friends. Nobody whom could spot for me. I'm really worried that I might injure myself due to bad form if I try it. The beginner program also worried me with those chin-ups. I have tried pull-ups but it hasn't really worked. I just can't muster the strenght to pull the exercise off, no pun intended.
So yeah I need some help... about where to start and how to avoid injury. I have access to a commercial gym btw. Is there any program that would fit an over-weight, over 30, beginner such as myself?
Oh and also I did check out the "find program" thingy... but it didn't seem to lead me anywhere. It was just stuck at the last page.
