>>36940999

Very important!!!

I didn't tip mine and got kicked out but was able to call the manager and apologised and they let me back in

Starting Strength for a few months then branch out from there.

Sure, but it's easy to keep track of. People first going to the gym are scared to shit, and can't keep 62 exercises in their heads at once. Optimize later. Learn now

I'm skeletal too.

Eat. Eat a lot of food. Don't skimp on that.

You don't need to do GOMAD, but whole milk is a good, easy way to get the calories up. You can take your normal food intake and include a couple glasses of whole milk.

It's more about mindset actually. The gym I'm going to is free, but it's full of athletes and I look like pic related.

I'm lactose intolerant, is there no other alternative? I mean I can try to chug down the glass, but I'd rather not die from headaches.

I was gonna do the Reg Park's one because it sounded fun, but I'll stick to basics I guess.

>>36941642
If something sounds legitimately fun then do that. SS is good for beginners but having fun will help you stick with it. If Reg Park's plan sounds cool to you then maybe give it a go.

If you're trying to bulk skip out on the milk. That shit is not good for you.
Eat lots of nuts. Maybe peanut or almond butter. Very dense with calories from healthy fats and a good amount of protein.
Remember to lift like no body is looking Good luck

Yeah I tend to like and do stuff just because the name sounds stupid.

>>36941737
I'll see how it goes.

>>36941737
Should I swap out milk with whey protein and use almond milk instead?

no drink milk, its fine. If youre skeltal, youll need the easy calories for slow bulking. Im 6'4", and I cut down to 185lb and was literally walking skeleton. so i slow bulked up to 215lb, retained my leanness more or less, and pretty much iifym'ed it via the way.

Whats important is 3 things: consistency, progression, and diet. Consistency means going 4-5 times a week every week for the next 6 months at least. Progression means youre increasing the weight and/or the number of reps you can do. and diet is pretty controversial, but it means eating for your goals - if you're skeltal mode, youll probably want to bulk up. Id suggest slow bulking with +250 TDEE, and doing a volume routine (like a PPL twice a week like coolcicada's ppl, or an arnold split). Youll grow, and in 6 months time youll be a completely different person.
