How do I start strenght training?

[precious999]

I'm off school for two weeks so I'm planning on starting to strength train with weights like 5-20 lbs. How do I start, how of ten should I do it. My goal is to build upper body muscle and gain strength around my body because I've been noticing small slivers of fat around thin parts of my body like my triceps and back. Also how should I eat, my mom isn't okay with me watching my weight because I almost got an eating disorder before

do you mean real-body building strength training or just getting in shape strength training?

anyways, here's a general cycle that worked for me

weekly:
monday- uppers and abs (high weight/low reps)
tuesday- lowers and back (high weight/low reps)
wednesday- rest
thursday- uppers and abs (low weights/high reps)
friday- lowers and back (low weights/high reps)

1/2 mile warmups (idk what you run, but for me, it was at 2:30 pace)
