Realise the post title sounds pathetic but hear me out

I’ve been running for the last few months and lost a good amount of weight. We all know TRP preaches lifting so it’s time I started on it.

However whenever I’ve lifted before I’ve always felt like I have zero idea what I’m doing and embarrassed about how little I can lift

For example I tried to squat but I couldn’t hold my balance even with just the bar, I guess it might be because of my form but I’m not sure. Bench press I’d do a set or two of the smallest weight and then have to bench only the bar

Stuff like deadlifting I haven’t even tried because I feel like I’d do more harm than good

Is there a routine that’s more geared for idiots who can’t lift much at all? Would like to go with a friend but none of my friends lift

Not even really sure what I’m looking for with this thread, I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has felt like this and how did you overcome it?
