@tamtamrod When I first got back into the gym I started with strong lifts It's 3 days a week 3 exercises 5x5. I literally started with the bar and worked my way up. If you follow it as written you'll build a solid strength base which will get you back into the gym and prepare you for more...
@bpplee without knowing your height I would say option 3. Maintain deficit, up the protein, start a beginner weight lifting program like stronglifts or starting strength.
@dgrace I've done both for a few years, I prefer bjj. Crossfit was okay just too intense for me and I found I had a hard time recovering and the DOMS were very uncomfortable and distracting, plus the WOD would wipe me out for the rest of the day. Now I lift 3x a week and bjj 3x a week, for me...
@lucy97 I don't think so. my bad I didn't realize it needed to be with dumbbells. Maybe check out the boostcamp app, they have a lot of good programs on there, maybe there are a couple dumbbell focused ones
@lucy97 I recommend starting with stronglifts. It's what I used to get back into it, it's a great beginner program, 3 days a week. If you decide to go with it I recommend downloading the app, makes it really easy
