For beginners i'd rather have them lift 3 times a week while doing a full body routine to create the habit because if they go to the gym too much they might get bored and stop.

only reason to stop is if your not seeing progress imo. if you get bored it wont matter on the amount of times during a week

I started around your size. a lil under 150lbs at 6'1"

I'd reccomend starting strength, it teaches you all the basic compound movements, and has you doing them often with continuous increases in strength, once you hit some decent numbers on those (3 months or so) you can choose to swap to a more size-based program or continue with starting strength until you max out all those gains.

form is very important, make sure you're reading into the form for all exercises youtube videos help etc. and just eat everything in sight.



how much do you think I should start at with deadlift?

I only ask him how much because he was almost exactly the same size as me

I have no clue even a ballpark range what I should try, even as a comfortable weight
