There is a lot of online peer pressure out there for lifting heavy weights - even the people who advise to start with light weights give numbers that can be daunting, or even discouraging.

When I started my Kettlebell and Functional Strength Training journey, the weights recommended for "an average man" were way too heavy for me to lift with any kind of volume. Couple that with my goal of wanting to move better and feel pain-free each day, and the soreness of lifting heavy was a double whammy.

My success with feeling younger and getting rid of chronic pain was won by swinging lighter weights (sometimes for longer). I encourage you not to get too caught up in what others online recommend as a weight you *should* lift, and instead focus on the weight that makes your body feel great while, and after, exercising.
