Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2003 I used to be rail thin. Then I started working out five or six days a week, targeting different muscle groups each day. I suggest you pick up a book called Getting Stronger by Bill Pearl. It has a variety of exercises for all the key muscle groups. It's worked very well for me. Also eat foods that are high in protein and use proper nutritional supplements. (Duh!). If you ever feel like eating a late night snack, make sure that snack is a protein bar. Are you mostly 120 lbs of fat? If so then you'll also need to do a fair amount of cardio. Playing a sport would be a good place to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KanadianKrusty Report post Posted January 19, 2003 Are you mostly 120 lbs of fat? I'd say yes, but i'm not all fat, I do have some muscle, but I'm pretty sure my strength/muscle mass is sub-par. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Old Me Report post Posted January 19, 2003 You want lots of food high in protein. When I was lifting, I was using creatine and drinking Myoplex, which was a brand of protein shake. I drank it twice a day (I really didn't even think it was bad) and it helped along with increasing my protein and carbohydrates in my meals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2003 Creatine is great. But be prepared to take at the very least, 7 shits a day when you first start using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
