Hi All,
Im a 20 year old , 6" 3' and reasonably fit.
I want to join the cops in 3 - 4 months and want to build muscle mass and get huge muscles. The problem is... I have no idea how or where to start? I enjoy cardio and running (I ran my first full marathon 3 weeks ago) but I don't want to be the lanky dude who can run but not put cuffs on a guy!! I have a bit of belly fat (wouldn't say I'm skinny but wouldn't say I'm obese)
I'm about 95 Kg and 6"3'
My questions are.
1. Can you help me?
2. Where do I start
3. What do I eat? (specifics please)
4. Any supplements I need to take?
5. What are some good websites I can get info from
6. What do I need to buy
7. And what excerices should I start doing?
and 8. Is it possible to get to a good size in 3 - 4 months If I started now?!?!?!
My brother is (ironically) a bodybuilder but I don't really want to ask him. (People with older brothers will know why)
Today is the day I start excersing

Short answers -
Base your routine around bench, OHP, squat, deads and rows.
Eat. Eat some more. I like high protein, decent carbs.
If you are just starting, you don't need supplements.
Things to buy - don't worry about it yet, outside of a gym membership of course.
And time, it will take time.0 -
first joining any police force or state trooper academy and having big muscles is kind of not a great idea.
It's just going to slow you down.
not sure where you get this notion from but it's not really the best- you run- A LOT. You ever see a body builder running?1. Can you help me?2. Where do I start3. What do I eat? (specifics please)

No.
you vastly underestimate how long it takes to build muscle. Yes you'll see gains- but you aren't going to get huge- my friend took 10 months training for his BBing comp and he lifted 2x a day and had a professional coach.0 -

All the cops near me are the ones dealing gear ( not kidding)...don't go that route though.
Hypertrophy workout, lotsa food, and time.0 -

I'm not saying it's not possible to build muscles AND run- but you do a lot more running at any academy than lifting. That's all. My friend was huge when he went to state trooper academy- and he has probably lost 20 lbs of muscle since he went there.0 -

while i'm sure the OP appreciates your valuable contribution, his questions have already been addressed. and when a person has 20 questions in their OP, google, or a book, are going to be their best resource.0 -

Whereas, your answer was far more enlightening... :noway:
1. Eat more food than you burn
2. Do heavy progressive lifting focussing on squats, deads, ohp, bench (Stronglifts or starting strength if you are more of a beginner. There are other programs if you are a more experienced lifter.) Focus on form before weight. You don't want to injure yourself before joining up.
3. some high intensity cardio to improve cardiovascular health
4. Sleep well
5. Gets plenty of protein to build the muscles (aim for about 200g)
6. Eat lots of nutrient rich foods to help with your overall health and recovery from exercise.0 -
This day in age you would need to be living under a rock to not know Google is an option. I'm not a MFP expert but venture to say you come here to get a more direct answer and maybe actually find people with similar interest . Sorry if I offended the gods of this site .0

This right here. I'd also recommend getting a trainer at a gym to give you a tour and a couple lessons on form. Free weights are preferable over machines. Instead of focusing on bodybuilding, aim for strength. They are not synonymous.0 -
