No, the trainer thing is tonite. I told him what you wanted and he said no problem. I have to tinker with the diet. I think I am eating to much now and putting on weight I don't need.

Big, what do you recommend for diet. I'm 5'10 and currently 165lbs. I should be at 150lbs for my body form. I had a whole year where I couldn't get to the gym because I was working 7 days a week and had no energy to get there, so I am trying to make up for lost time.

I read somewhere else about the water and I know I have been dehydrated for the better part of the last year so I've been trying to keep it up as high as possible. I have all the supps you recommend other than the creatine and protein powder. Recommendations on both?

I so far am responding pretty well to Hacks training recommendations, I can see a difference that wasn't there before. It is leaning out that is kind of top priority right now, then bulking up to where I would like to be.

Hack says you guys are the best and I trust his judgment so let me have it.

Thanks guys!

PS I am pretty athletically endowed so I hope this new lifting thing fits into that. But, my dad worked on a farm for years and he had no bulk (muscle) to show after 10 years. I am genetically predisposed to be thin, but with a desk job, the over 35 beer belly has grown. Yes, I am 38 as well. I play basketball with kids half my age and they don't believe me when I tell them I am twice their age. I am pretty fast, mobile and agile. At one point, I could almost dunk the ball, and then I wrecked my knees skiing. So much for life long dream of dunking on somebody. Sorry if I ask too many questions but like I said, I am like a sponge and absorb new information which eventually leads to more questions.
