Basic questions so expect basic answers.

Dont take bars. They are too overpriced for what they are worth. Just take a protein shake - this could be any such as Total protein or Whey protein. Also creatine also helps. Basically it retains water, and makes you look bigger while doing a bunch of other shit.

www.muscleandstrength.com

Lots of premade workouts on this site, such as http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dougs-4-day-split-workout.html Also showing you how to do the exercises.

And diet is key, make sure to get that in tact. Myfitnesspal and www.swole.me can easily help change your diet.

My legs dont need as much work, I go skiing for 1 month each year and run long distances. Priority has something else

[Steroids]

you need to spend hours researching bodybuilding articles on weightlifting / diet etc.

neglecting legs completely has negative effect on upper body progress btw.

wow skiiing aint gonna do shit bitch, if anything, training legs will have carry over to your skiiing. wont fall as much n all that because you'll have the strength to stabilize yourself even more so.

[Dizzy]

Train that left arm ;)

[DeltaPapa]

Do simple dumbell exercises to help get your left arm upto par with your right

Cut the shit out of your diet, get some whey, train hard.

[Jonny]

Cba to quote everything. Concerning my legs, I do sports where I run a lot and go jogging twice a week, that is how I train them.

Dizzy, I usually do that with my right arm and everyone else, thanks for the links and replies :)

[Jonny]

not calling myself professional or good or anything like that, but the way I ski, I feel in my legs. Doing that 1 month around christmas/new years and 2 weeks in febuary does help.

The rest of the year I go jogging and that should be enough? :-)

[Reevesy]

no its not enough at all... running and skiiing is nothing like weight resistance training..

And are loaded with sugar.

Please don't disregard legs, legs are awesome, personally I want disproportionately big legs, I think they're aesthetic as fuck:

1min30s in.

Start eating a calorie surplus, ~500 above maintenance, ease yourself onto it if you don't eat much atm, add 50-100 calories onto your diet a day.

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.html

Good website for calculating maintenace calorie needs^

Most important is to do it properly, do not half ass it, diet, exercise, the lot.. especially when starting out and your gains are highest. Research FREE WEIGHT exercises for each bodypart and do them, do not be one of those people who is scared to do free weights and does only machines for months, like I was.

Don't worry too much about your left arm being weaker, it should even out through compound movements, just always lead with your left arm when doing one arm dumbbell exercises, do a set with your left, then match it with your right even if you can get more reps out with your right.

As above have said, read through the guides on bb.com, find a routine that works for you and you enjoy/fits around your daily life.

A brilliant website to use IMO is www,myfitnesspal.com allows you to keep track of everything you eat and calculates the macros, has millions of brands of food on the database, it's been a godsend for my diet with cutting. Wouldn't pay attention to it's reccomendations though, it reccomended I eat 80g of protein, 355g of carbs when cutting, no thanks jeff LOL.

But yeah, get 1g of protein per 1lb of bodyfat a day, if you cannot meet this, supplement with whey, they're all the same aside from the cheaper ones may have a SLIGHTLY lower protein content and worse texture/flavour, if you eat a lot of tuna/chicken which are foods with low calorie to protein ratio you may not need to use protein powder but personally I do. Creatine might be an idea to use.. i've never bulked before so i'm not an expert but it seems to be what everyone uses for bulking.. some people swear by preworkout supplements, others say they're a waste, personally I use jack3d and find it gives me a small energy boost for my workout, not a HUGE difference, but enough for me to warrant spending £20 a month on it.

Good luck.

not sure why this poverty website keeps fucking up my posts ^ i've finally managed to have it at least laid out properly, but you'll have to put up with the apostrophes all being "'" ><

[Chris]

your a really good skier :P

[Jonny]

thanks all for your productive feedback

chris <3

[FearMy Def]

fap with both hands then ur right arm wont be too much stronger than ur left

you should eat more meat, meat has good protein/iron which u need when doing any excercise btw dont eat chicken skin that shit is bad. Eat more fruit and veges everyday always good for u. Fish like tuna is good for u too but not too much

[Kody]

bodybuilding without doing legs would be like skiing without ski's
