New to it

Hey all, I am 28 yrs old, three years ago I used to weigh 62kg and was skinny as heck, so I started gyming first year was real trial and error, the following two years, I made great strides and with good routines and supplements, typical protein shakes and creatine, I now am 86kg and really enjoying the scene, I just want to improve and get really big, I am thinking of taking the next step, but first wish to educate myself correctly, and also meet genuine guys in the same boat or with more experience, anyways have a good one

well routine wise , I am doing a minimun of 4 days workout with a split, first day doing chest and triceps -barbel bench (4 sets 8 to 10 reps) Incline bench (3 sets 8,8,6) dumbell flyes (2 sets of 10), dumbell pullovers (2 sets of I will then do 3 sets 8 8 6 peck deck
I will then move on to triceps will normally do about 4 exercises, my last one I am going to failure,

next session I am doing back and biceps
then following session shoulders and forearms
and last session of the week doing my legs

was going to write it all in detail buts its quite abit of typing will write a session each time I log on lol, I originally got this routine of a website, but I tweeked it abit to be abit more challenging, and to get a great pump (luv the feeling)

I will do it for about two months and then switch my routine for another two months being day one chest and shoulders, back and abs , triceps and biceps, and then legs

more importantly your diet mate?

and some stats? height? BF%?

I am also only gyming at about 7pm, I take a protein shake mixed with mon creatine, straight after my workout, when I get home I will have dinner and lye down and fall asleep to a movie in bed, like the fact that I sleep soon after gym, Morning I get up have two eggs on brown bread toast, or tuna depends what I feel like with tea or milo, then half an hour after that I have my first protein shake with creatine, about 10 tot eleven I wil have chicken with sweet potatoe, My work is cool with me cooking and eating alot lol they use to it, then then miday I try always have a fruit juice, and early afternoon I have anothe protein shake and hour after that I try grab a light snack ranging from tuna to chicken to what I can get my hands on just depends on myself or whats available, and then when work is finished I grab alot of water with half teaspoon of creatine and head for the gym, I do now and then on weekends will grab a steak, I enjoy sushi aswell, but yeah

I am exactly 1.8m on the dot last time I check my body fat percent must have been like 4 months ago I was 15% I feel I probaly have added a percent there, funny enough I used to 7% body fat and and 62kg which was not cool because I had no muscles to show

your diet isnt that great bud. its probably whats holding you back. how many calories are you eating a day?

I would realy have to sit down and calculate that, feel could improve it, rather lay it out there than make it sound like it is something that it aint, appreciate the honesty

Wish I did the same thing 2 years ago.. followed stupid advice by idiots and got myself into some trouble.. so rest assured you are in safe hands here
