How to Begin Your Lifting Journey

Lift Clique Issue 002: January 16, 2025

Welcome back folks and a happy Thursday to you. I’m so excited for today because after last week’s introduction post, I’m officially launching the Lift Clique: my weekly column where I share the lifting program I’m following for you to watch my progress, or join in on the fun by doing it yourself. If you got started with the 4-week program I posted last week, awesome. I started it this week myself, taking my first rest day today. I’m honestly pooped. This program is a little less packed than what I normally do in the gym, so I’m wondering if having fewer exercises than I’m used to has me pushing that much harder for a less amount of time? Let’s go with that.

If you haven’t gotten started yet, check it out below to get familiar with the program and jump right in. I want to hear how you like it—whether you follow it yourself or just use it as inspiration for your own lifting program—and see your favorite pump pics! Here’s mine.
