  • Thanks guys. I've ordered starting strength.

    It's not that I can't lift/squat heavier things, it is 100% the psychological issue - I'm just worried about injuring something. Main point is to help with football and cycling.

    Maybe I don't need to lift heavier and maybe my form is fine - I think I just want reassurance

  • I really need a coach to keep my form right.

    As tgr says you need a good one! Mine is going to do online coaching soon, website is "the strength mechanic". He is a powerlifter himself so spot on for the big lifts but he can also work with people with 40 hour jobs, average or poor recovery, do diet plans etc. So maybe ping him an email.

    I got started with a program, they only got me so far though. 50 kg on my deadlift, 20 on my squat and 20 on my bench (tiny female) results don't lie and injury free :)
