Default Advice..

I really want to start training again.

Im 33 this year but am i too old???

The only reason i ask this, is that when i was 19 i started training for about 18 months and saw no gain in bulk, but i had a fast metabolism and still do and i ended up losing weight. Despite all the weight gain products they kind off well go straight through me!!!! I used a few steroids (methatestosterone and dianobol bad i know) and i gained 2 stone but i was kinda getting aggressive which the missus didnt like and i stopped. I then lost all muscle as it were tbh.

Im 6ft and currently weigh 10 stone (140lbs) and really want to start again as im sick of being thin, my doctor tells me not to worry but im fed up. Im just wondering if its worth doing again as im older, and is it worth trying the supplements again?? there apperas to be so many on the market now and offering promises of gaining 20lb in 30 days and all that bullshit.

Any advice?

blimey 10 stone that is slim...Your never to old to start training best thing for you to do is make sure your food is in order.I think what you need to do is eat as much carbs as you can jacket potatos past rice eggs and get a good quality protein shake too and have them a couple of times a day between meals.Genly ease yourself back to the gym but remember muscle has memory and will soon come back just take it easy for the first few sessions and dont go to mad.You will soon put on weight try sticking to sets or 8 or 10 no more

Your never too old to start training.

I was a skinny runt when I was yound and I found that through my late 20's my metabolism slowed up and I started to be able to gain a little size. You may find that when you go back to the gym things come a little easier this time? Who knows until you give it a try. Eitherway, as already said, you have to up your carb intake. I would also say that instead of a protein shake you should try a "heavy weight gain" shake. These contain protein but lots of carbs too whereas most protein shakes try to limit the carbs.

i dont eat unhealthy if i am honest. Always have fresh veg and salad etc, curry sat nights. If im honest i dont have time for breakfast some days as my hours are 7am-3pm or 1pm-9pm so it chucks my eating schedule out.

But yes a diet would be brilliant if you dont mind mate.
