Hello all
I have a question please - I am 148.4 lbs, 5ft 10 male who is trying to put on some weight. Eventually I would like to start training but I am thinking as I am quite skinny I should put some weight on before I start. What weight should I aim for before I start...what would be an ideal weight to start?
Many thanks in advance
James

:huh:
Start training now. Muscle is hard enough to put on - don't wait. You'll probably put on close to 50% of your weight as muscle, being (apparently) new to training.
