Don't know were to start, Help Needed!!
39 years old
5’9
163 Lbs
Est. BFI 20-25%
I’m looking to get into shape for the first time at age 39 and I’m looking for advice on how to proceed. If I’m honest I think the last time I regularly went I went to the gym was when I would go with a buddy who was a fitness fanatic and that was more than four years ago. I found this forum when researching steroids to help get me into the shape I’ve always wanted to be in but the more research that I’ve done the more I’ve come to realize that would be a horrible idea considering I have no ligament/connective tissue base to support that kind of growth. With that said though I did get a couple of bottles of Forma-Stanzol to help jump start things being it’s a very mild anabolic, and has anti estrogen and fat burning properties but I’m sure it’s still a token gesture of my newb impatience.
Another thing that I’ve learned is that I’m not in a position to gain muscle and loose fat at the same time and should focus on one over the other. Being that I’ve never been below 15% body fat and I’m sure I have some left over from puberty chalked with estrogen and toxins, should I focus on loosing fat before focusing on gaining weight? I thought I read somewhere this is a better approach than putting on muscle then trying to lose the fat on top. But I also realize that by adding muscle I increase metabolism so any suggestions would be appreciated.
As far as diet is concerned I really cleaned it up over the last month (as in not binge eating a 12oz bag of M&Ms 1-2 times a week) by staying away from processed foods and focusing on whole foods. Other than that not much more critical thought has gone into my diet. But before I put any more though into diet, exercise routine, supplements, etc., I need to determine what my goals should be to start off with so any input into what they should be at this point is greatly appreciated!
