Just Starting Out Again

New to the Forums and looking for a little advice to get started… I’m 38, Not in terrible shape (5’7 160lbs with 18% body fat). I have not lifted in about a year now and don’t really know how to start back. Any suggestions?? My main focus would be getting stronger and bigger. I d like to be around 170ish but drop my BF to below 15%. I am not looking to compete or do a show or anything like that. I have a sport nutritionist thatI have started working with so that part is certainly in check, now I need to programing part to come into place. Thanks in advance for any advice!

My advice is, lift in whatever manner you enjoy the most, because you’re more likely to stick with it that way. If you enjoy lifting like a powerlifter–heavy weights, low reps, lots of rest between sets, focus on the main lifts, etc–then lift like a PLer. If you’re into more of a BBing style–lighter weights, more reps, less rest, more machine and isolation work–then do that.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your response.
