I need to start work out. Really for just health/strength, but I wouldn't mind getting a bit bigger, too. First, some background. To me, I'm pretty skinny. 5'10-11, 160lbs on a good day. Was hitting the gym for a while (not knowing exactly what I was doing), but got some decent results. Got up to 170 and was looking good, feeling good. Then I got sick, started school, blah blah blah and I haven't been back in months. Now i want to go again, but want to start fresh with actual good advice and an actual plan instead of picking exercises at random. Any books to download or check out from a library or wherever would be awesome.
http://scoobysworkshop.com/ Best info I've found online so far. Others tell you to buy shit (get ripped in 2 weeks!/Secret formula for XXXL muscles!, etc) and are not as easy to understand as I have found this to be. I have not fully read or tried this out yet. On first instance it looks alright and quite comprehensive. The guy just likes to talk topless in his videos thats all.
>>2632 They're XXXL because half of what the dude eats is protein powder, have you seen his cooking vids?
>>2633 He also doesn't squat.
Here are some easy meals he makes....
>>2636 Protein powder...protein powder...protein powder...enjoy your kidney problems.
>>2637 If your body uses the protein it shouldn't be hurting your kidneys.
>>2638 http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=50900 >>Eating extra protein actually doesn't do much toward boosting your muscle mass and strength. Sure if your going to be working out all day, then you'd probably need lots. But that guy was dumping protein powder into everything.
>>2637 >>2639 Eh, I'd doubt it'd give you kidney problems. However, there does come a point where extra protein doesn't matter and past that point it's just expensive carbs.
The keys to fitness are never socialize or eat food that tastes good. Swell...
