So, I finally got over my gym anxiety by signing up for a beginning weightlifting class and finally feel like I can step into a gym without feeling overwhelmed - woot.
But, the class is over now, and I need some help creating a routine so that I can keep this going.
Now, I'm about to say something that very few people here are going to like, but, I need to avoid deadlifts for now. See, my class trainer was big into deadlifts, but for the life of me I cannot perform one with good form. My lower back is fairly weak, my shoulders are underdeveloped, and my hip hinge has no idea how to function. So what I need are accessory exercises so I can at least do a deadlift correctly first.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
Incline DB Press: 4x8
Lat Pull-Downs: 4x8 (part of the DL training)
Back Squats: 4x8 (will alternate with goblet squats until I feel ready for front squats)
DB Flys: 4x8
So I'm thinking at least another lower body movement and/or a movement to improve my deadlift form.
Thanks
