I don't know how strong you are for your size or anything, but if you're not very, don't get discouraged because we all had to start somewhere. The thing you have got to focus on more than anything while training is your form. I can't stress this enough. If you have bad form, it can lead to injuries and lifelong problems, so make absolutely sure you know the right form for an exercise before attempting it. All that said, have fun!

like SB said, id have to agree on the form thing. its probably best if you start off with lower weights than you would like to at first, just to get your form right, and to basically get used to the whole weights thing.

thats what i did for a few months in fact, im only really starting to get to work.

though if youre a member of this forum you cant go too wrong, theres a wealth of knowledge literally at youre fingertips.
