Starting off

[Con]

Hi,

Some of you know me, some of you don't. My names Connor, 19 and from Liverpool, UK.

I have just signed up to the local gym (gymBug) and it's pretty sweet in there. I've been looking around the internet for different routines and diets and hopefully I'll find one to suit me soon.

I'm not looking to become a monster bodybuilder or anything, just want to get a toned, gain muscle and have an overall better physique.

I'm new to all of this and if anybody would be kinda enough to give any advice, it would be much appreciated. I'm not asking for a long-winded list of what I should and shouldn't do. If anyone has any tips or knowledge which would benefit me, I would be grateful.

I am 5ft 11 and weight approximately 160lb. I will soon add my diet and other logs to this post to keep track of any progress.

Thanks,

Connor

I will message you tonight, I'm in work at the moment.

And the application will come whenever Palidino decides to revive BS haha, if not, when the pre-eoc servers are hopefully added.

also bs does not take too much time, so give it a shot ;)

I don't mind really, I think I'm probably best to cut rather than bulk because I'm getting a little chubby haha

If you read the topic properly, you would see that I have said that I already have. I'd rather take advice off people who I can speak to and help me than go off a bullet pointed list which I probably won't be able to stick to.

If you read stuff online, surely you would have seen exercises and routines?

We are not going to create your own personalized routine for you structured to your needs and wants.

Read the net brah.

Thanks Motif, I've had a look through and I'm gonna try some workouts to see what suits me best.

Unsure whether to bulk or cut though, bit confused on when I'm ready to cut and stuff

[Dog]

Again. Not sure how we can give u an opinion of whether or not to bulk or cut when u havnt posted any pics. If ur unhappy with how fat u are, cut.. if ur comfortable.. bulk, its as simple as that

[Con]

I would post pictures but I can't at the moment because I broke the camera on my phone. I don't really mind how fat I currently am because it will change in time. I think I'll bulk first rather than cut.

Any tips on bulking? I've read through different things on here and on bodybuilding.com:

When I am home tonight, I will work out what foods and drink I will have.

Calculate your maintenance calories with http://www.freedieti..._calculator.htm then eat above it.. the higher above you go the more potential fat gain.

Supplements, get some creatine, a multivit and maybe fish oil if u dont eat fish, that's about all i'd reccomend, anything else is a scam.

Don't worry about 'foods you'll eat' .. a calorie is a calorie as far as your body is concerned in terms of body composition.. it's scientifically proven, don't follow the bullshit bodybuilding stigma of HURRR CHICKEN AND BROCCOLLI, HURR EAT EVERY 2 HOURS, because it's retarded, and proven scientifically to be no better, get enough micronutrients, fibre, protein.. and eat above maintenance.

I recommend myfitnesspal.com, get it in ur phone and count ur kcals if ur new, good doing on 1st bulk but after that u should know how much u need to eat to be allowed to make gains. But u should always use it when cutting

hi i'll answer specific questions that are not included in thousands of articles all over the internet. quote and will respond.

Thanks, I've use the link you have given and my calories per day are: Maintenance - 2426 / Fat loss - 1941 / Extreme fat loss - 1456

I'll try and work on maintaining the daily intake. Gonna do some research on good diets as I'm kicking the junk food/drinks.

Thanks
