Ok thanks that was very informative, I really appreciate it. There is a lot of times when I ask questions on here the guys are d*cks about it and won't help with even a push to where to start researching. Now as for dosing, meal plan, lift schedule, and sleeping any ideas on where to start? I am currently reading and basically studying "The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" and there are many different meal plans described in it. They range from beginning to end (I'm sure you've read through it or just glanced at it before) so I am going to build something from there which I should be finished with by Monday. I pretty much and done with the exercises I plan to do, I am using completely new exercises because I feel that my muscles are too used to the exercises I've done for the past few years. I really hope to build a good amount of muscle without gaining fat. My previous cycle, I gained a lot of thickness in my face and I really don't want that to happen again. I know so much of your gains have to deal with your diet. Any help would be really appreciated, as for things that I will absolutely not eat: tuna, fish and thats pretty much it for meats. I am planning to sculpt my body this time in a major way, and I know it may not all happen in one shot but I would like to see some big changes. I was wondering for my schedule of workouts if I should plan it as 2 workouts/day with one muscle group/session? Then at the least one day of Cardio, which I was going to swim... because I had knee surgery a few years ago and it can be painful on my joint. I also completely hate running and I feel swimming will be much more beneficial. So if you could get back to me when you have some time to spit some knowledge, I will definitely be checking back soon.
