Liftoff

I'm a long-time fan of Casey's extremely funny and incisive writing and cultural commentary (her “She's a Beast” newsletter is a genuine treasure that I highly recommend), and I used Liftoff as a starting point to resume weightlifting. I'm in somewhat unique circumstances: rural area with no gym closer than 45 minutes, and currently in a 31' travel trailer with no room for a barbell. But! Casey's encouraging focus on the well-established basics of how to get stronger and ability to hilariously lambaste diet culture/hustle culture/capitalism/patriarchy bullshit made me feel confident enough to adapt her program for my purposes with an adjustable kettlebell. Unsurprisingly, I'm stronger again! And happy about it! I actually need to get a second kettlebell, yeehaw. Liftoff would be great for someone totally new to lifting, someone who wants a refreshing refresher of the basics, and everyone in between.
