Building Muscle

I just started some weight/strength training as well. When I asked the kind peeps on here, here's some pointers I got:

-Protein. MFP had my goal set to 60, which I thought was fine. Apparently I should be more around 100 at the minimum
-Strong Curves by Bret Contreras
-Stronglifts 5x5
-A couple links:

(There's a couple more I'll edit to add. I've got to go find them)


I think the point is to start low and the progressively add more weight. They're called "progressive overload" programs I believe

Feel free to add me. With our similar goals and inexperience, it's sure to be tons of fun and super motivating!

Of course! Here are the other links:
