Starting back after 6 years - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Bobdiamond · 08-05-2006, 11:19 AM

Hi there,

First time on the forum.

I used to be in fairly good shape and trained solid for 5 years. Got into decent nick and was taking all the supplements of the time peroid and taking gear 2.

I sustained and Injury and stopped training 6 years ago and never went back save a week here and there.

Anyway I,ve just re-joined the gym and wanted some General advice on getting back into shape after such a long lay off.

Any advice with regards training diet etc would be appreicated.

I was 15 stone at 5ft 9 in shape 6 years ago but am now 14 stone out of shape.

Best Wishes

Bob

Start slow.
Dont overtrain.
Keep your form good.
Don't try and push yourself too much.

Eat smaller meals more often.
Drink lots of water.
Get at least 8 hours of sleep.
Dont skip meals.
Dont overfeed.
