Ok, so now I have your attention...

I'm looking for some built friends to help me achieve the same really. I have lost about 5 (70lbs) stone since last autumn and now weigh in at about 15 1/2 stone (214lbs). I still have about 3 stone I would like to lose.

I would like to start putting on some muscle and toning up a bit, and while I have seen the PT at the gym to start me off with a training routine, I would like a few friends on here that have done the same to help me with the nutritional side as I'm totally new to all this.

So if you're a bit of a beefcake with a bit of time on your hand and won't get upset with the stupid questions I'm likely to ask, then I would very much like to hear from you :) Consider me your pet project!! I'm determined to do this and will put the time in as required. I don't want to waste any ones time here.

I look forward to hearing form you peeps

    Eat 3g protein per kilo of bw every day, high carb on lifting days, low carb on rest days, and eat 3-500 calories more on days that you lift than on days that you don't.

    Cool website. So far I understand nothing, but it's very colorful and therefore, fun to me.

    Andy, I'm a little concerned you might attract some riff-raff with this post and I'm anxious to see you achieve your goal with the help of only the primest of beefcake. To this end, I'm nobly offering to vet any friend requests you might get off the back of this - just send the pics my way and I'll let you know if they're up to scratch. :wink:

    first off i am not that big but i have put on some muscle over the year.

    training: i advise you to use rep rangest 8-12 and only compound movements (free weights) and i would reccomend a 3 day split, day 1 back and bicep, day 2 legs and day 3 back,bicep and shoulders. as a beginner you don´t really need that many to start with so you could start with 5 sets per bodypart and work your way up to 12 sets like i do

    nutrition: well you can build muscle and burn fat at the same time if you haven´t worked out that much in your life but i reccomend 1,5g per pound and to build muscle in the long run you need to eat some more carbs so that might mean a little increase in bodyweight. but you should aim for only 300-500cal over your maintence level

    cardio: since you still wanna lose fat i reccomend slow and steady cardio in the morning on empty stomach to keep as much of your muscle gains. 30-45 mins

    If I want advice on bulking and adding tons of muscle, sorry, I'm going to rather friend guys than girls.
    Just the way it is. just like girls ask to follow girls who lift heavy.

    However: I just noticed this is in the food/nutrition group lol. fail

    I'm curious if you're looking for advice on training, also, or are just trusting what your PT says.

    If the latter, I encourage you to use caution with that. PT's are...well, let's just say it's not that hard to become one. There are some great ones, and a ton of others.

    You've got some dupes and some missing bodyparts in there.

    I don't know where you live but some of us worked extremely hard to get their qualifications. You have to look hard but the elite few of us to exist lol.

    Well I was thinking, seeming as I'm paying him £28 per hour!!! Yes, I'm only interested in nutrition help at the moment as I have the PT :)

    Eat good fats and protein. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of water. Find a workout or activity you can stick with for the long haul and be patient. Keep researching and experimenting to find what works for you.

    Macros for losing:
    Protein 0.7-1g/lb bodyweight
    Fat 0.25-0.5g/lb bodyweight
    Calculate your deficit you want to make taking into acount exercise and the above fat and protein calories, and then fill in the rest with carbohydrates calories to figure grams carbohydrate

    These are pretty standard values used by natural bodybuilders
