How many times a week should beginners strength train for weight loss

[Garv_Singhal]

Hey everyone!

Many beginners jump into weight loss journeys excited to start strength training. But a common question pops up: how often should we actually be strength training to see results?

Is there a magic number for beginners aiming to lose weight? Any advice from experienced lifters out there?

Thanks!

Is your goal to lose weight or build strength?

For beginners aiming for weight loss through strength training, a balanced approach is key. Aim for at least 2-3 strength training sessions per week, focusing on full-body workouts with compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges. These exercises engage multiple muscle groups, maximizing calorie burn and promoting overall strength development. Remember to allow for rest days in between sessions to allow your muscles to recover and grow. Additionally, complement your strength training with cardiovascular exercise and a healthy diet to optimize weight loss results and overall well-being

In the other thread you said beginners should concentrate on machines to learn form among other nonsensical things now you’re saying they should focus on compound free weight movements of which 2 you’ve listed really depend on really good form especially the DL.

So Which one is it?
