| Beginner deadlift on own (no trainer) - how much weight? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 02:19 AM PDT I'm posting for my son who is interested in beginning lifting weights, and he's specifically interested in deadlifts. He wants me to purchase a barbell and some plates for him to start but I'm not sure what weight he should begin with to be safe and not injure anything. He's a large young man standing 6ft 5 tall and weighing 140kgs, obviously overweight but also quite strong as he is only 20 years old. He has autism and due to that can't really have a one on one trainer so wants to do this at home on his own. So I think he should start with a lowish weight and build up as he gets comfortable but have no idea what is a good weight for someone his size to start? and how much/often to increase the plates? He has watched youtube videos to study the correct form and has practiced with dumbbells, (one in each hand at same time) that weigh 10kg each but really wants to move on to barbell so I want to encourage him while he's interested! Also would like to know if there is a subreddit where he could post videos of him lifting to get some (autism sensitive/non-roasting) feedback on his form. [link] [comments] |
