| Awesome choice dude! One of the biggest things to do is get your diet mastered. This is where you'll notice your gains, especially starting off. You want to be eating the right amount of calories that you'll have a surplus and able to build quality muscle. Just make sure, you're eating the right proteins, carbs, and fats. Also, start looking for workout programs that incorporate a lot of compound movements, you'll benefit the most from them. Deadlifts, bench press, squats, military presses, etc. Finally, start reading as much as you can on forums, websites, articles etc. Gain as much knowledge as you can. It'll help you out currently and in the future. Good luck bro! Cheers |

| Some questions for you: 1: what is your age? 2: what is your current height and weight? 3: do you do your own grocery shopping or do you live with parents? 4: what do your meals look like in any given day? 5: are you going to join a gym or work out at home? 6: if working out at home, what equipment do you have? |

| 6'0, 198lbs and never worked out before? You're carrying a good amount of fat, huh? Learn how to eat clean. I'm not sure how your mom cooks, but you have to take control for yourself and learn what's what. Start by reading up all the articles on this site under the Nutrition and Training sections. Here's one to start with: 10 Nutrition Rules For Beginners As Neverbackdown19 mentioned - focus on the deadlift, bench press, squat, military press, and pullups. Do a search on each exercise and you'll find examples of how to do them in good form. Start off very basic with your lifting. Here is an example routine: DAY 1: squats, calf raises DAY 2: bench press, overhead press DAY 3: deadlifts, pullups DAY 4: rest -- repeat -- Focus on those moves. Don't get fancy with isolation moves or machines. Those moves above will build your foundation for long term success. Make sure you get good sleep and don't be out partying all night long every night. >>> EAT, LIFT, SLEEP, REPEAT. <<< |

| It's not only 3 days a week - it repeats. For example: Monday - DAY 1: squats, calf raises Tuesday - DAY 2: bench press, overhead press Wednesday - DAY 3: deadlifts, pullups Thursday - DAY 4: rest Friday - DAY 1: squats, calf raises Saturday - DAY 2: bench press, overhead press Sunday - DAY 3: deadlifts, pullups Monday - DAY 4: rest . . . etc. If you've lifted before, what kind of workouts have you done? Have you mastered the above moves? If not, you should. They will give you the best overall whole-body improvement. |

| Sounds like you already have it covered. Don't know why you asked for "help on where to start". You questioned why I only listed 3 workout days, but you can only workout for 4 days of the week? Just do what Greg Plitt says. You'll be a body builder in no time. |

| dude forget about the fukken supps... thats every single beginners problem, they go straight to "what supps do i needa take to get big?" YOU DONT NEED ANY FUKKEN SUPPS are you getting enough protein?(1g per lb bodyweight) if not then only would you need to look at say taking a protein shake after workouts to ensure that make sure your diet is on par and everything and if you still cant manage getting enough protein, carbs, fats etc in THEN come back and ask what supps you need |

| Like Corkey said, stay away from Supps. Supplements wont make you big. Your diet makes your big. Your supplements supplement your diet, so w/o a fine tuned diet, you mise will just take your money and put it in the garbage disposal and turn it on. Figure out your body type and adjust accordingly. Nutrition timing Mesomorphs – eat every 2.5 – 3.5 hours. Ectomorphs – eat every 2 – 3 hours Endomorphs – eat every 3.5 – 5 hours Caloric base Mesomorphs – bodyweight x 15. Ectomorphs – bodyweight x 16-17 Endomorphs – bodyweight x 13-14. Protein per lb Mesomorphs – 1.2g/lb – 1.3g/lb Ectomorphs – 1.4g/lb – 1.6g/lb. Endomorphs – 1.4g/lb – 1.5g/lb |

| I have been working out for 4 years and intensely for the last 2 of those years. I am 5'10 195 and currently on a clean bulk. Although i feel the next 2 weeks will be more a a dirty bulk. Diet is most important. I usually aim for 250-300 protein,500-550 carbs, 80-100 fat a day. A great way I found to get in the numbers especially as a beginner because that is alot of food to eat is to make shakes. One of the shakes I will make is 1 cup of oatmeal 1, whey protein or a mass gainer, one or 2 bananas, peanut butter, 12 oz of milk which is approx 150 carbs 65 protein 20 fat. If you have done some working out you could add more days and workouts to your split. My current split is 4 days on 1 day off, Shoulders,Legs,Chest,Back. I dont feel an arm day would be necessary for you though because your somewhat new and your arms will get targeted enough. Just as they said compound movements are the the best and are what I recommend in addition to some isolation lifts. Dropsets and supersetting has showed to work great for me but arnt highly recommended for beginners. |

Quote:Originally Posted by determined34 Should be 60% of your max BPM. At 17 that's around 164, which gives you ~100BPM as your 'fat burning' zone. That is if you go for low intensity training - i.e. walking on a treadmill. If you go for high intensity interval training, heart rate is irrelevant. You have periods of high intensity alternating with low intensity. Still, the most effective way to lose weight is a reduced calorie diet. |

| If I was gonna cut tomorrow I would eat a clean diet and 3 meals a day with no snacks. Eggs & oatmeal in the AM Sandwich with some vegetables on it on wheat bread for lunch Chicken Rice and veggies for dinner Protein post workout, preferably regular (non-mass gainer) protein, or low cal/carbless protein. |

| You don;t need carb powder if you are trying to lose weight, or at all really carbs are easy to consume, and digest. | ||
