Ok firstly now i got my weights pack and my basic diet sorted i think its good to start off with some pictures of how my body looks from month to month.
So lets see what my bod looks like without exercise for 4 years from 2005-2008.

Ha only 1 came out not dark!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Age - 29
Height - 6ft 1
Current Weight - 15 Stone (210 pounds)
------------------------------------------------------------------
So according to maximuscle my stats thus far are:
Lean Mass 168
Fat Mass 42
Body fat 20%
------------------------------------------------------------------
So now the dilemma of going at this hard or gently easing into it. I know with the excess weight i have that i should bulk but being total novice i still have to take care with what i do. So gently it is, for now...
------------------------------------------------------------------
NOOB starting diet:
Morning (with supliments):
Cereal and milk
Garlic
Multi-Vit with Minerals
Fish Oil
Gingko & Bilboa
Scrambled Eggs
Post Workout (2pm):
1 pre-bought mixed protein shake (can't afford the bigger whey protein as yet) mixed with Creatine (as recomended) and Glutamine (as recomended)
Sleep from 2/3pm - 4/6pm
------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to work out using soley dumbbells for now as i will be training from home and dont have a bench. Besides that, upper body is what i want to see improvement in most of all, for now anyway.
------------------------------------------------------------------
So i decided my routine will be like this:
Warm up = 10 mins
Barbell Step Ups x 10 @ 5KG (11 pounds) Each Bar
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows x 10 @ 5KG (20 total)
Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press x 10 @ 5KG
Bicep Curls x 10 @ 5KG
Scaption x 10 @ 5KG
Shoulder rolls x 20 forward
Shoulder rolls x 20 backwards
Warm down = 10 mins
(Thanks to Maki Riddington for showing me and naming the exercises, except the shoulder rolls which i was shown by some dood a few years ago)
------------------------------------------------------------------
I apreciate that this routine looks weak but i have to start somewhere and if my arms dont ache or my heart doesnt race then i will surely up the amount of reps before upping the weight. Depending on my own comfort level as i do this each day will depend on how i change things.
