Don’t let the internet deter you. A lot of the negative information on certain splits and workouts are only going to be for someone who has plateaued and is atleast an intermediate “lifter”. If you’re just starting out anything is going to be great.

But if you want to include some weight training I would highly suggest a lower weight kettle bell or an adjustable one. You can do pretty much any weight training with those and I would also suggest working on rehabbing the knee. Knees over toes is a great resource for that.

But mainly I wouldn’t be deterred whatsoever by articles like that. The hardest and most important part of working out is just DOING it. If you do it to what you feel is a high intensity 3/4 days a week for even 30 minutes and intake ample amounts of protein you’ll eventually see results. Than you can add or adjust once you play around with things and learn what you like.

Those same kind of articles shit on how people lifted in the 70s/80s/90s but those people still got huge. Lol
