Gym newbie - help setting goals
30M here, 6’6” / 198cm and ~210lbs / 95kg with probably around 25% body fat.
I’m not super athletic so I’ve always been quite twinky/lean but I want to put on some muscle and lose some fat. I used to be 22lbs / 10kg lighter but life has been a bit crappy in the last 12-18 months and I’ve been comfort eating as a result.
Thing is, I’m struggling with setting a particular goal at the gym beyond aesthetic goals.
So, gay bros over 30, when you were a newbie at the gym, what did you set as your initial goal and what was the timeframe for that goal?
My bench press is around 25kg, deadlift around 65kg, squat around 25kg currently.
