Started lifting back in November of last year. Really trying to get fit in my 30s. Anyone in a similar boat or was? Would like some tips. Been excess of 200lbs since high school and weight cycles through my 20s. Just wanting to getting strong toned and active for my family. 31 5'7" 220lbs. I know it's never too late to start but I keep reading about how it's an uphill battle after 28(sounds bullshit to me) I get I can be harder but how much difficult can it be?

I Started lifting at 28. Could only bench 165lbs, squat 225 and deadlift 315lbs... A few years later, squatting 425, benching 300 and deadlifting 555. It's never too late. But you gotta commit and put in the work. You should be lifting 3 to 4 times per week. If you're overweight, you should be doing some form of cardio
