Hey everyone-
Summer is just starting- and I'm in the mood to get in shape. My job slows down in the summer so I have more personal time and I'd like to start lifting. I'm a "skinny" guy- 6 foot 155 pounds- and I want to get bigger- well bigger muscles anway. I have been talking to various people and was told that I "NEED more protein" so I bought some whey protein. thats about 20g per serving. I am also planning on lifting about an hour a day- in the mornings 5 days a week. My first question is - is 5 times a week to much? My routine would be about 1/2 hour of smaller muscle groups IE- my calves, forarms, gluts, and a 10 min ab workout. Then I am doing a focus muscle for each day for the next i/2 hour. IE- monday- bi, tuesday- chest, wednesday- tri, thurs- shoulders, friday- chest agian. I read on this post that I should rest a day inbetween- what if I just rested the muscle group a day? and not my whole body? is that good or bad? Thanks a lot for any help you could give
