Hi my names Doug, I'm from Dunedin, I'm 22.

I have a goal of reaching 85kgs of lean muscle by the start of next year I'm currently 78kg but it sometimes drops to 77.8kgs.

Anyway that's enough posting for now. just introducing myself

Welcome Doug. I'm sure your bodyweight swings more than 200g during the course of the day

That's a good goal, keep us up to date with how your training goes :wink:

Also Shrug Life, just an update since my first post on this thread i have gained another 1kg decided to actually be a little more serious with my diet and increased my calories by 500, so i suppose that means a few things got increased, protein, carbs, fats. (Also changed my training routine)

By the way, i've always been quite light in weight, but always been lean i don't know if that has anything to do with my martial arts back ground or not.

That's great progress mate. I would recommend getting ~3200cals in you a day. There seems to be a lot of different opinions on what protein/carb/fat ratio to use but Marc Rainbow told me to be getting 50% protein, 30% carbs, 10% essential fatty acids - omega 3,6,9 and 10% saturated fats. So I might drop my carb intake and give it a go.

If you want some advice on your routine post it up but if your happy with things, go hard :wink:
