Lifting weights as a newbie who has experience doing endurance work

[weightpath]

I've always been more of an endurance athlete. I'm now 30 years old and I would like to switch to weight training. My question is: how can I get into weight training the smart way as someone who used to do a lot of endurance training? I certainly have a lot of energy but I need to improve my strength. What would be your advice for me?

Go with some compound lifting but use proper form. That's a big mistake that newbies make with weights: they don't do proper form and they get hurt.

Bros, I'm a big fan of lifting weights. You can mix in weight training and endurance. You can do both. Just do it the smart way.

I would start with total body workouts and then go from there. Eventually you want to switch things up.

A split body routine would work well for you. I would start with a simple 3-day split: push, pull, and legs.
