Hello,
I've been lifting for about 3 - 4 months now after not lifting for about 2.5 years.
When I started, I was not getting enough excercise, although I was playing a few hours of basketball 3 times per week.
I'm 6'3, naturally skinny, and at that point, I had put on a few pounds of beer gut and weighed about 178. Previously, I weighed about 185 when I was lifting and taking creatine.
Since then, I have stopped drinking, started taking creating, greatly increased my protein consumption, and tried to reduce my carbs. For a while I was going extremely low on my carb intake in attempt to shed the gut I had put on.
As far as shedding the gut goes, I have pretty much reached my goal and can now see the sixer more or less (though definately not to the degree I would like.) Overall, I have REALLY toned up, and definately become a little stronger, however, I have not seen the size improvements I would like. In fact, I've lost weight and now weigh a mere 168!!!
My goal is to weigh 190 - 200+ , however, I think I need some nutrition help from you guys in order to achieve that goal. If you could give me some recommendations as far as pre/post workout intake requirements along with some guidlines as far as a good level of carb/fat intake so that I bring out the abs more while gaining size and muscle (if possible) I would REALLY appreciate it.
By the way, if you've read this far, thanks.
