Record everything you eat for a week. Count the calories. Then add 500, making sure you're getting 1g protein per pound of bodyweight (so, 140g/day to start)

I got strong quickly with StrongLifts. Now on MadCow

80% nutrition, 20% workout

Hit compound movements and do supersets and dropsets

Don't skip legs (broscience says it's increases test levels naturally through squats and deadlifts)

Focus on back, chest, legs for now

Starting strength. Also make sure you eat a lot.

Gallon of Milk a Day (GOMAD) and 5x5. As a beginner this will pack on muscle faster than anything.

HIIT is for losing weight.

Listen to this guy, he speaks the truth. Compound excericises. Volume. Eat like a motherfucker. Sleep like a motherfucker. Train like a beast.

Strong lifts 5x5 or starting strength. Either works really.

Watch your diet closely, fatsecret and MyFitnessPal are both great tools.
