Something like this might work as I sometimes post it for other people.

Squats, 2 sets 10 reps

Lunges, 2 sets 10 reps

Deadlifts, 2 sets 10 reps

Vertical Flyes, 2 sets 10 reps

Bent over Rows, 2 sets 10 reps

Shrugs, 2 sets 10 reps

Planks 30-45 seconds, though you could swap this for the 3 sets of 10 in your case, but perhaps limit that if you do to 2 sets of 10, because that way you're then doing the same amount of work on the lower back area, (rear core), as you are the front of the core.

I wouldn't use the lightest weight in the gym on small muscles, but use the next ones up to start and then go a bit heavier on larger muscle groups.

Give yourself around 4 weeks to adjust to the biomechanics of weightlifting and slightly increase the weight on all exercises after 2 weeks.

After 4 weeks you could then experiment with different intensities and systems.

Thanks for the post

What would you suggest for a diet plan? I usually wake up at 4:30 and eat fruits and nuts as breakfast and eat sandwiches during the day. Dinner time is always at 6:30

Would there maybe be a forum with a bit more activity than I can get some more suggestions from?
