This is my first post, I've joined today, had a look at other posts
and seems that you are all a helpful bunch, hopefully you can help me
too with some advice.
I am 29yo. 168cm and weight 60kg. I used to be very skinny when i was
18 i weighted 50kg and under and worked out for a couple of months to
gain 8-10kg. Since then I worked out on/off (MORE OFF THAN ON). But
now with all the info available I would like to do it right and get
fit as well as bulk up.
ATM I can train 3 times a week (Mon, Wed, Sat) maybe for 1hr - 1 1/2
hr, I am going to start taking a protein shake. Can you please advise
on the type of diet i should stick to, and the type of exercises for a
slim beginner, I would like to get a bigger chest, arms and broad
shoulders, and also not gain a gut from eating the wrong things.
I just started working on my chest and arms last nite, so any advice
that can get me there quicker and help me cut corners will be
appreciated.
Thank you. |

Hey Bro. Congrats on deciding to get in better shape. IMO there is no
real way to cut corners.
Just a matter of eating right and putting the time in at the gym.
Focus on eating 3000 calories a day while bulking.
Good rule of thumb is 30% fat, 30% protein, 40% carbs. Bench is a
great exercise for chest/arms. Arnold's are good for
the shoulders. Stick with the basics, but do them well and you'll
grow. |

thank you for the advice  re: the 3000 calories, is this something
to stick to everyday even if that is my day off training?
I forgot to mention that I am also playing soccer for about 1hr twice
a week (Mon and Thu).
I live in Australia, I am a bit of a lactose intolerant, however i can
eat some dairy food like cheese and yogurt but not milk, does anyone
know of any products in the Aussie market that are any good? (we do
get imported products as well)
Thanks again, I didn't expect to receive some advice so soon >> Stay informed about: slim beginner advice needed pls |

IMO...
food - 30:60:10 pro:cho:fat poss. 30:50:20..
plenty of carbs give you energy for your workouts, and fill the muscle with
glycogen and water giving fuller muscles.
meats (lean: chicken, beef, pork etc)
fish (lean:white, tuna, oily - not fried)
w/g rice
w/g pasta
potatoes/sweet potatoes
you get the idea.... eat loads too
exercise: 3xper week ios good place to start mate,
concentrate on big exercises.
Deadlifts
Squats
Bench press
Militarypress
closegrip bench
barcurls etc.......
2 - 3 compound exercises per bodypart will work wonders fella... should do
anyway, did for me...

Avoid sweets and very fatty foods. Eat veggies, with every meal
preferably, and preferably raw veggies too. Most of your protein
intake should come from meat, fish and diary products. Drink your
shake post workout, but do not rely on your shakes. You need mostly
food.

Mostly compound movements. A little bit of isolation won't hurt, but
you need to know where it's needed first.

Bench press, dumbbell row, overhead press, chinups. For arms do

You can gain a gut just as easily by eating too much of the right
things.

Do not try to "get there" too quick and do not cut corners. In the
long run (and you should plan long term) you'll be much better off
without cutting corners.

That's right atm I am into it, I had my second workout last nite, so
far so good, I am going to the stock up on the right food this
weekend. However I find that after 3 months of working out I start to
lack the motivation to keep doing it. How do you keep motivated. I
work out at home I have my own gym equipment that I bought and
collected over the years.
Has anyone heard of GNC 100% Whey Protein? I am taking this once a day
in the morning or twice a day right after a workout. Just wondering if
anyone has some feedback on the product.
Cheers everyone  >> Stay informed about: slim beginner advice needed pls |

Results. After three months, you're measurably stronger, and
just-about-noticeably bigger, and then you want MORE, so you keep at it.
Plus, i'm slightly OCD, so once i'm in a routine, i can stick to it. I had
a week layoff recently, and i'm having a really hard time getting back
into the groove :-/.

It's whey protein, right? It'll work exactly like any other whey protein.

I don't know. I've been working out [properly ] for about 8 years now and
since hitting some new PBs last week I've never been more motivated.

You don't "take" whey like you would take a medicine!

The bottom line is 1/ does it taste nice 2/ do you think you are getting
value for money?
