Hi mate, you got a good base to build from there. Already a pretty good muscle tone and quite lean.

With a smart training program and diet your soon start packing on the mass.

I wouldnt worry about feeling silly at the gym mate, every body has to start somewhere right, just ask for an induction maybe. So a member of staff will show you around and teach you how to use each piece of equipment.

This forum is full of good information, i would check out big's "how to grow" thread. IMO its a great read and gives newbies a good idea of where to start.

Good luck mate

i agree good base mate whats your diet like

megatron

I would say you have less BF than 15% from lookuing at you. Your calves seem naturally large, do you skateboard or something?

Have a look at this thread: http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/general-a...tml#post105134

It's great info for newbies, I was your size when I started out (maybe a bit smaller) - I can get to around 175lbs naturally, I am a similar build - so it should give you some idea. Basically train simple and eat lots of protien - it's all in that thread mate.

I megatron,

I do agree ive got rather large and fairly defined calfs, as in i can see 2 parts of muscle from them. i think this comes from my childhood days of ALWAYS being on my bike, i used to ride bout 3-4 miles pretty much every day, either to school and back or around the lakes and woods where i used to live.

I used to skate for bout 4-5 years, but have not done for over a year now due to no time and other intrests. board is still in the corner if i ever get the urge to go again though ;)

cheers for the link to the thread, im just off to read it now, ive got a pretty high protein diet i think, lots of tuna (cant get enough of it ), and meats, and rice, few veg but its mainly green beans and cabbage.

megatron

Just a little tip: get skipjack tuna, as they are younger fish, they contain less heavy metals (good if you eat lots of tuna - as you don't get rid of things like mercury from your system).

ARNIE

ive read that eating garlic is good for getting rid of toxins like heavy metals

I love how when everyone posts their leg pics they dont take their trousers OFF or put shorts on, they just drop their trousers round their ankles.

Dunno why, i just think it looks well funny n it makes me laugh...it's got that 'carry-on' element to it i reckon...like you've been caught

newkidonthebloc

probably because its to much hassle to then put them back on

i can redo the photo and wear some sexi red heals if you want mate ;) LOL

louis crawley

see! i knew i wasnt the only one who saw the comedy factor in the 'trousers round the ankles'-photos.

Just thought id add a little update,

Used one of those bodyfat measureing devices, and my result was 8.3%

i thought that was a bit to low LOL,

ah24

No, i cant see you being 8.3%. The problem with bf devices is there are so many variables; exercise done, rest, alcahol consumption, when you last ate or drunk etc

newkidonthebloc

so how do you get an accurate reading?
i did use it mid workout heh,
i rarly drink alcohol its normaly on a fri / sat night after work and then its only 1 or 2 drinks as its free ;)
