    Check out the strong lifts 5x5 program. I've found it's a really good intro to weightlifting for health. The guy that devised the program has a bunch of advice on correct form, and more importantly, mountains of advice on spotting bad form. And it's nice to see his own photos on form because it's just like Some Dude, not a beef pillar, and he's out here squatting 300lbs easy.

    If you can, try to find a place with a squat or power rack - removes the need for a spotter entirely for bench and squats.

    If you want to crank up protein, add nutritional yeast to a meal. It's about 50% protein by weight, which is more than any meat. Or check out protein shakes, they make vegan powders.
