I only started about 6 months ago . Have always been doing exercises without weights. But my son started weight training with friends and dragged me into it. Him being nearly 6 foot 5 big guy can lift a lot. Myself i can only do 40 Kg Bench press and squats with same, and occasionally 70 Kg dead lift. Being cautious as many moons ago i had backbone injury during a training exercise and it still hurts.

Yes. One has to be very careful. I injured my back 20 years ago and still don't dare to do deadlift or sqart with heavy weights. I have been trying to reach 300lb for bench press, but so far struck at 285lb.

Since 1994, not very regular though. I was injured due to a stupid trainer who forced me to overtrain. It started with excess no of push ups and then became serious with weight training. I had to stop all kind of exercises for 6 months to fully recover.

I have been training from past 7-8 months, regularly, before that I was overweight and never saw gym. Lost extra 6-7kg now again trying to put on some muscles.

You can do that. Increase protein content in your diet and workout around 45 mins per day, 5 days a week. You should take at least 1.5 gms of protein for every kilo of your body weight and sleep at least 8 hrs per day. Cut down carb and fat intake and increase greens.
