how long will it take?

im a fat 95kg man at 6ft. havent been to the gym in years and lost all muscle i had. im skinny fat. want to get back into the gym. i have a goal of being able to benchpress 100kg, squat 100kg and have thick ass lats. how long will it take to do this?

i need to lose around 10kg of weight first, then build up (even though the plan is to lift as heavy as i can even whilst cutting)

Most people get a 2 plate bench in a year. Squat much less. Depends on your previous experience, your diet, genetics, drive, programme etc etc etc

2 plate bench would be perfect
squat isnt that bad, tbf i dont think i have the mobility for a squat. my ankles have poor mobility and my knees/hips are quite weak. would you advice me to do isolated stuff to strenght my leg & do isloated stuff to fix my ankles/hips/knees before i embark on squats?


and fair play

Start with goblet squats, once you can goblet squat to good depth and form a 25kg dumbbell for 3 x 12. Then start back squatting
