Thread: Newbie lookin for help

Check all the "stickies" and then see if you still have many questions...if so then do a search for "beginner workout ideas" and see what pops up. welcome to the board. If you dont find what your looking for I will be surprised.

They were my stats 2 months ago. I'm about 5' 11 1/2". I weighed 155 when I discovered this board. I now weigh 175lbs. Its all about the diet. The weight lifting for me is the fun part. Diet is 80% of it. In theory the diet part is easy once you write it all down. Now try doing it for 2 weeks and see how sick you are of it. I have to go to the grocery store twice a week. I eat everything. The lifting part I look forward too. Squats, DeadLifts, Standing Shoulder Presses, Bench Press. Heavy and Intense.

5-6 meals a day helps a bunch. weight training is very important, but HOW you weight train is less important. just try different weight training techniques for a given time and see waht you like.

i'd say eat lots of protein and dont be afraid to gain a little fat. you can always cut later on, and since youre naturally skinny it shouldnt be too difficult to lose a couple pounds.
