Suggestions on Where to Start?

Just turned 40 and haven’t really been lifting much the last 2.5 years. I am trying to drop some weight and gain some size and strength back. Wondering if anyone had any good routines they would like to share to get me back on track. I thought about 5X5 or 531 but thought I’d head in here and ask some guys with experience.

You would do fine starting with a 5x5

Yeah, what he said. Find a 5x5 scheme, be sure to follow it as prescribed. I think 5/3/1 is better suited for Intermediate level and above, but I am sure opinions will vary.

Well I am definitely not a noob to lifting. Just haven’t done much like I said. I was thinking 5x5. Thanks.

This good to get back in swing of things, then 531 as others said…
