Alright Im sure eveyone has noticed Im a big time newbie, never really ever in the gym till about 10 days ago. Ok, I was in the worst shape of my life. 20yrs old 168lbs 6'3 skinny male and a hard gainer. I have been eating fast food and drinking nothing but pop the past 4 years of my life. Things were going down hill fast, and the college lifestlye doesn't help...baring any sleep, partying etc etc...
So I started at the gym biking 8 miles a day for the past 10 days. Just to see what my heart will do. Let me remind you Im in the worst shape of my life...Now that I have been doing that and reading ATON on this site I think Im ready to hit the weights...
I know DIET is huge. So I went on a high protein diet. Along with my favorite food too. I learned that I need to eat at least 1g for every pound of body weight in protein....168lbs = 168g of protein a day. And eat as much as I can. I need to gain more in Calories than I use ina day to start gaining weight. Since Im a ahrd gainer its going to be tough. I jsut have to start pounding harder in the gym than longer. Fewer reps of like 8 as as much weight as I can. Do cardo I everycouple days. Start my workout with a breif warm up of 5min jog/bike to get teh heart going and 15-20min on a bike a few tiems a week....And I have to drink alot of water...
Is all this a good start guys?!
Sorry to bugg all of you but I am truely a rookie.
THANKS EVERYONE
