Newbie in Need of Help

[Jon55]

I weighed 120 pounds for pretty much all of my teen years, and about a year & a half ago I jumped up to 140 (I'm 21 now). Thing is, I hadn't been working out during that time. And just looking in the mirror at my face I can tell I've put on fat (I kinda have a belly too which is just weird as hell to me because I've had such a flat stomach for so long).

So I'm sick of it. I used to have an OK workout schedule but never had the right diet to go with it. I want to get rid of this body fat and start building.

What are the key things I should be eating? Weight supplements?

What type of workout would you recommend? On what days?


The reason I ask is, well, I honestly don't know what I'm doing. And I'm too broke to hire a personal trainer =(

But I am ready to learn and actually do the work and end this skinny nancy boy body that I've been living with all my life once and for all.

It's probably best for me to tell you this quick smart; read the stickies. They're there for a reason. Then you can probably ask more specialized questions with things you really don't get. Oh, also there is a lot of information out there and lots of it will sound conflicting, so don't get too anal about the info and just go out there and lift it.

yeah you've posted 163 times on this forum. I'm assuming you've posted on other forums as well. Seems like you'd know the first place to always look are the stickys. Theres 2 stickies on this forum. Make us proud and fine the one that answers your question

Do as it says. Make a journal. If you have any questions, we can answer them in your journal instead of you making numerous threads.

Good luck,

My bad guys, laziness took control (which is ironic because I think the lazy thing to do would of been to just check the stickies). Anyway, thanks for the pointing in the right direction.
