Working out

Unread postby njvaulter » Sat Sep 18, 2004 5:05 pm

I'm in college now and I have access to a gym for free. I have never really lifted and I'm looking for a workout program. I wanna try to gain some weight and muscle to. Right now I weigh about 135 and I am 6 ft.

just continue to eat healthy food. i mean, if u can not gain weight and ur trying so hard, theres no point cause prolly ur metabolism is so, so high. eventually, it'll slow a bit and u will gain some weight.

keep eating like a horse and pound iron hard. You'll gain weight just by gaining muscle mass...

Best way to start would be by talking to a fitness or weight trainer at the gym (make sure you tell him what your training for and what you want to do). They can set you on the right track alot better than we could
