Ok, Im new to the forum and have been reading quite a bit.
I'm 37, currently 226 lbs and 5,10"
Been working out 3-5 days per week since Nov 31st.
I do about an hour or more per week of intense cardio, post workout, usually a 30 min spin class once per week.
I'm starting to see some gains and some leaning up in specific places. But overall I think my bodyfat is still kinda high. My overall weight is increased from 210 in november.
Diet: Ive gone from 3 meals a day to about 5 or 6 including two protein shakes. Took creatine, and have been off it for two weeks. Trying to eat a lot of meat,veggies and carbs like rice or pasta or wheat bread. Staying away from fast food but get stuck eating it occasionally. Drinkin as much h20 as I can. Some days I do better than others.
The only time Ive ever been in a gym was back in 2000 where i went twice a week for 9 months.
I lift with a guy that is 5,5 175lbs and can deadlift well over 400lbs. he's competed locally.
My ?s
Should I be running a very different regimen than him?
I've been curious about "circuit training" that is supposedly good for newbies trying to cut fat and get in shape, but he doesnt need to cut much.
Do strength and size always go tit for tat?
In other words, if I see a guy about my height who has about the mass that I'd like to have and hes benching 300 and deadlifting 400, will I only see that much mass when I can move that weight? Im more interested in looking good than lifting impressive numbers.
Any additional advice would rock!!!
Thanks!!!!!
Jeremy
