<h1 id="start-weightlifting-in-just-720-days">Start weightlifting in just 720 days</h1>
<p>Here’s how I got started with weightlifting in just 2 years ;) As I write this, it’s been a little over a year, and I still enjoy it a lot.</p>
<p>Please watch this 55 second video to get in the mood!</p>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/BIaBkv3c1vw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<h2 id="step-by-step">Step by Step</h2>
<ol>
<li>I watched tons of videos on the Starting Strength YouTube channel</li>
<li>Did my own non-weightlifting workouts at home, and felt a bit better, but still felt that my body and strength overall were on a slow decline</li>
<li>Went to the climbing gym regularly, but not enough</li>
<li>Started a new job where I felt I was ready to invest in my physical growth</li>
<li>Went to the gym with my friend Devin Finzer who showed me around and helped me feel more comfortable there, and signed up</li>
<li>Continued going every M W F in the morning, and made sure I slept early the night before</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="why-do-i-like-weight-lifting">Why do I like weight lifting?</h2>
<ul>
<li>You feel great when you leave the gym</li>
<li>It takes <30 minutes for a workout when you first start, if the gym isn’t busy</li>
<li>You start feeling the results and back strength and seeing new muscles within a month (at least for me)</li>
<li>Lifting is proven and sustainable long term—you can start no matter your age with just a modified program</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="what-do-i-do-where-can-i-find-form-videos">“What do I do? Where can I find form videos?”</h2>
