thank you very much for replies. have gained 1" on chest, 0.5" on arms and lost 1" on stomach (In 2 months). I know its slow but its in the right direction.

I only do 1 leg work out at the moment, but i use the full stack (80kg) and do the 5x5 system. its a leg curl? for thighs

I am also looking to eat more.

One more question: the mass attack i take im not sure if im using the correct amount, i use 1 scoop (That came with it) and 3/4 pint of semi milk. is that enough?

3 times a week.... so thats like 24 workouts you've had so far.

Keep at it for a year and you will see some brilliant results

time
patience
dedication
determination
consistancy

time - use it wisely, make every workout count and ensure you aim to increase the weights as and when your strength allows.

patience - Rome wasn't built in a day, results will come but not to those who try and take short cuts (there are none).

dedication - stick with it even when you feel you are making no progress, keep logging on here and you'll have an abundance of members willing to tear into your diet and training.
Sack off workouts for clubbing/pubbing or skip meals...prepare to not hit your goals in a timely fashion.

determination - how much do you want to achieve your goal? really?

consistancy - how can you see if anything is working if you change your diet/training every other day on a whim?

I would definiately include legs in your workout mate, you'd be surprised of the difference it makes to your body over time.

hello mate,

just a quick thing.

Personally i'm on 3 sets for 6 - 8 reps and generally on the last set i'm failing.

Have you considered changing gym as IMO freeweights are essential in building muscle?

Leg neglection is so easy talking from experience however, since i started doing legs i've gained so much muscle you wouldn't believe it and the rest of my body has started increasing in size due to the testosterone levels increasing from legs.

And i'm not the best person to critic on a diet however the break between 12 - 7 is a very big one try and include something in the middle as well?

And just to finish do you ensure a minimum of 8 hours sleep a night?

Hope this helps

Hi Guys,

I am a 31yo skinny bloke with a fat stomach. Im 5'10" and looking to get stronger, fitter and bulkier.

I have been going to a gym for 2 months no, Its only basic but it will do.

I go Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Spend about 35 - 45 mins per session.
I do 5 minute fast jog to get warmed up then weights.
There are no free weights so its all machines which are mainly upper body / arm.
I currently do 5 reps on each machine and 5 sets.

Weights are not very much as Im pretty weak.... usually between 40 - 60kg

My diet is:
7am: Cereal with milk
10am: Protein shake (Mass attack)
12pm: cooked meal (i.e. chicken & rice), yogurt.
19pm: cooked meal (what ever my wife cooks me)
21pm: Protein shake (Mass attack)

Gym at 19:45hrs (Tues, Thurs & AM on Sun)

I have just bought some mass attack to take with milk between meals/gym (10am & 9pm) as I know im not eating enough.

Any ideas / comments etc welcome to advise me.

In the 2 months I have not really changed in body appearance but feel slightly toned and my strength has increased slightly. I have got into a good routine (I know not probably a good one) but I feel comfortable.

I dont really have much spare money at the moment so cant buy much suppliments etc
