Gym questions

The real answer is, figure out and do what works best for yourself. You are going to get dozens of pieces of contradicting information when it comes to what is "best" for gains when working out. Just do whatever keeps you motivated the most and not boring to the point of making going to the gym a chore.

I'd recommend listening to the experts like Jeremy Ethier and athleanx on YouTube. They give lots of free advice from workouts, technique and diets.

There are no fast gains. If new you can see 2-3 lbs of muscle a month but that will drop off drmatically after a year
To grow you must eat in surplus, but only 200-300 cal over if you dont want to gain a ton of fat. Eat real, unprocessed food. Think chicken, steak, fish, sweet potatoes, broccoli, spinach, asparagas, full fat yogurt, berries and nuts in limited quntities
For lifting, check out the book Starting Strength and also google Madcow 5x5. Think the big olympic lifts every other day
Sleep, get 7-9 a night
Limit alcohol - a glass of wine or a beer with lunch or dinner 1 or 2 time a week is ok. Or a nice bourbon 1x a week on friday is ok...but dont drink more than 3 drinks a week.

Do the work. Lift regularly, don't skip leg days. Leg days are VERY important.

I don't do gym, but a buffout guy I know,... well, he just did the top, neglected the legs, worked out outside only until recently, now he's in the gym, doing legs specifically with a trainer, because wants to grow bigger and needs the test from thighs.

This sort of depends on how old you are and what you’re trying to accomplish.

If you’re a beginner you could do a 5x5 program. Focus on compound lifts and hit the gym minimum 3 x a week

Eat food like fish, eggs, chicken, beef, pork, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, beetroot, rice, nuts, protein shakes

Add cardio to the end of your work outs if you want to trim up.

Avoid alcohol, smoking, staying up late. Recovery is just as important as hitting the gym itself, if not more important.

Consistency is the key.

I would start by looking at Upper/Lower body split to make the best gains in general. Look up PHAT and implement as much as you can. It goes over the heavy /light but strenuous ways to lift. PHAT is my go to and it explains everything if you search for it. As far as eating and supplements, I would definitely eat no processed foods and stick to the staples of protein & vegetables. If you want to test supplements...always go for whey protein and casein protein at night. Take mono hydrate creatine, along with glutamine for recovery. If you want to venture into more potent but not illegal ones, try SARMS. So far, serious side effects have not been reported and gains are better. Although nothing is as strong as steroids but recommend you don’t start them.

Summary: PHAT training: google weightlifting diet plan: Glutamine powder, creatine, whey protein, casein protein, SARMS and HGH supplements(not much research on if this works though)

The key staples without supplement are training, eating and sleep though. Start there and then incorporate supplements..

Peace

To make fast gains, you gotta start from the beginning as you said you just started training again. So, start from the least weight to the top weight you can lift depending on the muscle group so you can begin to stress your muscles and bones to avoid any injury and strengthen your body. And the best way you can start is with the basics.

The thumb rule to gain mass muscle is high protein, low carbs. No sugar, no alcohol. Some people always start with 3 meals, some with 5 meals, others with 6 meals. It all depends on how much protein you want to intake to your body to gain mass. Always start with a strict diet with a lot of chicken, fish, lean meat. A lot of vegetables and fruits. But you must acknowledge that we can't get all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals and protein that the body needs with just the food alone. That's why we have supplements like protein shakes and vitamin pills which is going to help boost your muscle growth and strength to make yourself more healthy and stronger. Take whey protein isolate or just whey protein.

The best system depends on how much do you train on a muscle group per day in a week. If you're going to lift heavy weights, you should do less reps. Or light weights with more reps. Oh and never skip legs day, no matter what.
