I want to start deadlifting and doing weighted squats to help in my future career and to save my body.
However, I'm a mere 5'3" and I have no clue as to what weight to start with when it comes to deadlifting. I have a gym membership and I usually work on the machines but I feel like actually deadlifting will help re-enforce proper body mechanics at work as well. I suck in the upper body strength department, but I'm doing good with lower body strength. I understand this varies depending on individual fitness, but can anyone give me some pointers so I don't under-do or over-do it?
