Matrix Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 A lot will depend on your goals.For example: If you wish to add muscle/tone up, i'd start by: 1.Getting your measurements taken(bodyfat,girths, weight etc) and some before photos.2. Goal Setting/Planning(failing to plan is planning to fail)e.g how much muscle can I put on or fat can I lose in a set 12-16 week period.3.Having an experienced PT or BBuilder work out what you will need calorie wise to either add mass or cut up depending on your goal, and reviewing this regularly(very 4 weeks). Generally if your weights going up but your waist is not your moving in the right direction.4. Having an experienced PT or BBuilder set up a training split for you, if youre new to training this might just be a whole body split 3 x per week with one exercise per bodypart and as you progress you could add a 2 day split(upper/lower) then a 3 day split (Back dominant, Chest dominant and Leg Dominant) and finally a 4-5 day split. Alot of this will depend on your age,genetics, nutrition,stress levels, rest and how you recover from each session which is all individual. Personally ive always got good results from a 4 day split 2on, 1off, 2on,2off.5. Your budget: e.g How much do you want to put(financially) into your nutrition. Eating well isn't cheap, but there are ways to keep the cost down(trays of eggs, Canned Tuna, Milk Powder as a Meal Replacement, Mince, Brown Rice, Oats).Great gains can be made in your first 6-12 months of training if your dedicated with all these factors. Try finding a mentor whos done it before and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym rat Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 When it comes to the food in this sport thighs can get very expensive.Also I suggest trying to find supplements that are in your price range meaning not all the expensive try and find a very good mentor or a very good roll modle to look up.For example I look up to Moe,Mike Debenham and the Jo Stewart and any other past or prensent IFBB pro.

biggurl27 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Awww.. welcome eatme :grin:Where are you from?haha was just reading this post and thought poos thats not very polite! Then I relised, her ID name is eatme :grin: Welcome eatme heheSupplements well for starters I think a good multi vitamin, protein powder and possibly a fat burner. There are loads more things. As you a slim, may be flag a fat burner and just get a small tub of protein to help with muscle development and recovery. You don't have to spend a fortune.How many days can you get to the gym?

Gym rat Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Eatme I would suggest useing Balance 100% Whey proetin 750 g which is lot cheaper to buy compare to a 1kg of whey proetin.I would suggest having a proetin shake with breakfast and a proetin shake after training.Also a home made proetin shake hour before what you do is take one cup of skim milk put in blender with two table spoons of skim milk powder with 150 of fresh and fruity yougart blend for 20 seconds.Also eat every two or three hours and drink 5L of water which helps flush out all the toxins out of the system.

Luigi Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 if you wanna do it cheap then just do a few searches and a lot of reading on the net and make up your own diet make sure to include lots of healthy veges and clean carbs and 2grams of protein per kg of bodyweight a day. dont get caught up on shakes and supplements etc try to get most of your protein from food and a protein shake after workout with an equal amount of dextrose (buy from supermarket in the sugar isle)by sounds of it you dont need a fat burner so dont waste the money.

eatme Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hey! Thats awesome guys! So much advice in such a small amount of time. I am afriad I do not belong to a gym. I juggle a full time job and 2 kids and I am a single mum with very little support. However I have a goal I have wanted to reach and I'm going to reach it!I have got a great treadmill and a full set of weights. Although they don't go any heavier than 6 kg. I don't think I could lift anything higher at the mo anyway, :pfft: So I will get myself on that protein powder asap. I already eat really well, nuts, eggs, meat, tuna, brown rice, lentals etc and heaps of vege!So I think all I really need to do now is have the protein powder. I have heard it can upset the stomach quite abit. Anyone have any advice to keep the bloating and lethargy out of the amount of milk and skim powder in these products. Too much dairy can be a little strong and zap the energy :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 imo i would suggest rather than getting a pt who wuld jus pis n ure ear and tel u wat u wana hear a couple times per week, invest that $$ in a tub of powder [PM bj_powerL on this forum for good/cheap deals] and suss out a good routine you can stick to, and do that for 12weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
