Hi,

I am about to start training and here is photos of me now.

I think I should try lose a bit of weight before any weight training but I would like to hear some of your opinions because I am very new to the game.

Thanks.

hello welcome to the board, how old are you? how much do you weigh? what is your current diet? what is your training regime like? these are all questions that we will ask and need to be answered before we give advice, it looks like you have solid legs to build on,a bit of a belly and everything else can't be judged really because they haven't been developed yet properly. post the replies to the questions i asked and we will help you as best we can, i hope i haven't been harsh on you or upset you..true.

No you haven't upset me! I personally think I need to lose quite a bit of weight. I have played rugby all my life pretty much so thats why my legs are quite solid.

Here are my current stats:
Weight: 154lb
Height: 5' 8

My diet is quite bad at the moment so I am trying to change that.

I have no training regime yet, I am looking to start one soon with a bit of help from you guys.

Thanks.

read that and ignore the steroids bit,or read it for knowledge alone,dont even consider using steroids at your stage as we will NOT condone it imo.how old are you?

No buddy it doesn't look like your carrying much excess weight if any tbh, i would say your in pretty good condition, all i would suggest, is to train hard :lift: & eat as cleanly as possible, just eat plenty.

I wouldn't advise you trying to lose any more fat at this stage, as it won't help you gain at all & will just weaken you.

Alright thanks, I am happy to hear that. I think I would struggle most eating less! I'll be joining a new gym tomorrow hopefully, looking forward to it!

and I am 16 years old, nearly 17.

no need for you to lose any weight... (as you gain muscle... u will lose fat naturally anyway to maintain the muscle mass) hit the weights consistently without cheating your diet more than once a week...get plenty of protein and carbs and some fats per meal.. every 3 hrs.. use heavy weights that you can lift to 12-15 reps... 3 sets... something like

day 1: Chest / Triceps / Shoulders

day 2: Legs / calves

day 3: Back / Biceps / Forarms

day off

START again.

Bobs u'r uncle.. all the best.. dont worry about too much technical stuff... just do it and be patient.. no need to take any other supps apart from Whey, Omega 3, Multi-vit.... and maybe in a few months Creatine.. but get it started and stick with it.

No need to cut any fat imo.. u look great as a starting point... shoulders look good and overall condition is a great base to build on.

you would be best listening to bulk, hes come along way and and his progress is very impressive to say the least

atm-12 · 18-11-2007, 07:30 PM

Well I have joined a gym again. I will be talking to the owner of the gym and we will hopefully write up a decent training programme with your advice in mind.

Thanks.

I will post more pics in a few months time to see progress!
