I've only started working out again. I used to workout 5 times a week 7 years ago. At the time, my shoulders & chest was starting to develop. The results could have been good, If only I kept it up. Should't have stopped
This time I want to be consistent with the excersing. Eating does play a big role as well.
S.
Shane eating is important but eat CLEAN! Plus plenty of rest, if weight training.
Enjoy.

Yeah, have a shower before you eat.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

The last time I was in a gym was when I was at school, and I had no option then. The idea of paying good money to be in a big hall with a lot of sweaty men tiring myself out by lifting stuff or pretending to row a boat or pedal a bike is not my idea of fun, but each to his own, I guess.

It doesn't have to be all men. I judo trained with plenty of women. Got quite interesting at times.
Some of the best female members were quite small. It was quite funny seeing big beefy blokes who'd just joined and had rather derisory attitudes to the girls, being whipped through the air and slammed on their backs. We had some highly skilled ladies. Truly tricky customers.
