I'm also tall and skinny. I do lots of push ups, pull ups and sit ups and that works well. Tall skinny guys can look kind of freakish if they lift weights too much. Good luck at the gym! | ||

Don't waste your time working out like a fag. Deadlift 500 and you will be a big motherfucker. It will take years but you will get there if you don't pussy out. Here is something to start out your meathead career: Monday: Chest Flat/Incline Barbell Bench 2x4-8 (that is 2 sets, 4-8 reps, reaching failure on each set) Dumbbell Bench 2x6-10 Dips 3x6-10 Cable flyes until you get a pump or whatever Tuesday: Back Deadlift 2x4-6 (if you don't feel like you had back surgery the next day you ain't going heavy enough. If you even think about doing these with dumbells instead of a barbell you are a bitch) T-Bar Rows/Barbell Rows 3-4x8-12 (Watch your form) D-Handle Pulldowns 2-3x6-10 Pullover Machine 2-3x12-15 Wednesday: Off Thursday: Legs Back Squat 2x4-8 (Go as heavy as possible for two sets... Obviously wearing a heavy belt, as you would with deadlifts) Leg Press 2x6-10 Hack Squat 2x6-10 ***IF YOU TRAINED HARD YOU SHOULD BE ABOUT READY TO PUKE AT THIS TIME If you do puke, your workout is over at this point, go home and be miserable *** Stiff-Leg Deadlift or Glute-Ham Raise 2-3x10-15 Leg Curls 2-3x10-20 Calf Raise 2-4x10-20 Friday: Arms Biceps: I don't like barbell curls for biceps. They put too much stress on your wrists and will give you tendonitis. So use a combination of preacher machine curls, preacher DB curls, reverse curls, tricep bar curls, pinwheel curls, etc... Try to do 10 sets of any of these, usually about 10 reps. Triceps: Do a shitload of pushdowns/db extensions, like 6-8 sets, you can also do close grip bench press for a couple heavy sets of 6-10. If you end up with elbow pain or have trouble extending your elbow, reduce the amount of heavy extensions and do more close grip/tricep dip shit. Saturday: Shoulders/Traps Overhead Press (Seated or standing) 2-3x6-10 DB Overhead Press 2-3x6-10 Lateral Raise 2-4x10-15 Face Pulls 2-4x10-15 Barbell Shrugs 3-4x6-12 Machine Shrugs 3-4x10-15 ******** This is by no means set in stone. You need to change shit up after a while or you will beat yourself into the ground and not make progress. I personally change little things every workout. | ||

The closest thing to a text message was paging 07734 to a friend, which spelled "hELLO", unless your friend didn't turn his pager upside down, in which case it just spelled 07734. The domain name google.com had not been registered yet. Surfing the net was done with a dial up modem that made a funny noise when it connected. And download speeds were so slow you could surf the whole night and only see 8 women (16 if you were looking for lesbians). Even worse, the pictures loaded slowly from top to bottom, so you were never quite sure if you were looking at a shemale until you'd wasted 10 minutes. This paragraph is gold! | ||

Sounds awful, when i weighed that much i could bench my own weight and max at a little over, round 130. But gj on going back to the gym I don't believe you could bench 130 lbs when you were 110 lbs. That's like saying I could bench 130 lbs when I was 13 years old. | ||

I'm quite a bit of a gym rat I'm not going to lie, I just even came back from the gym and had a protein shake and I'm waiting on it to digest before my real meal so I'm killing time here. Just 2 years ago I was a scrawny fuck, but that didn't stop me. I have gained some 35lbs of muscle since and I have skinny kids in the gym asking me for advice all the time. I'm friendly though and so is most other bigger guy you see in a gym. A few pieces of advice I would give to you is to never be afraid to walk up to anybody in a gym and talk to them. You will learn alot, but at the same time don't take everything people say as the real truth. Research yourself and form you own opinions. Second, don't be stupid and put on weights that will kill you or injure you because you are NOT superman. Patience pays off in the gym, and you will need alot more than 8 sessions to change your body. Third, training hard is important but so is not overtraining. Lastly, food is your best friend and if you want your body to grow you will need alot of it, so eat harder than you lift and dont eat too much junk. Food controls everything so read online and learn how to eat right. And of course, if you have any questions feel free to friend me and send me a PM at any time. I don't know everything, but I have a pretty good idea when it comes to most things gym. | ||

What really irritates me is how easy it has been these past 6 - 7 weeks. By the 3rd week I was heavier than I had ever been in my life. I can't fit most of my shirts anymore because my chest, back and shoulders are broader. My shorts are tight because my butt and thighs are bigger. And I don't even own a barbell. This is something I really could have done at any time after I hit 17, when I first had access to a gym. I pretty much spent my adult life undernourished and unfit. I really wish I'd learnt in school what I know now. | ||

No matter it was a good story...storyteller even thou I think you spiced things up quite a bit and Im not totally convinced this is 100% true and accurate...human memories and all that. GL in the gym tomorrow, don't get intimidated by those big burly girls with boobs bigger than your biceps! My ego is a very fragile thing... sob... I guess what kept me out, apart from the thought of being the weakling aurrounded by beautiful people, is that I thought it was a waste of my time. I seriously thought I was genetically unable to build muscle because everytime I worked out, nothing happened. It was only much later that I learned about the importance of things like diet and sleep. Even now I'm a bit intimidated by the thought of working out with someone watching, but at least I know it is doing good things for me, so I'm more likely to stick with it. | ||
