I’m sure you’ve all been asked this a million times, but here goes. I finally decided to try lifting weights to gain some weight since I’m 5’10" and weigh 120 lbs. I happened upon this site and I’ve been looking over the forums for a few days and decided to join.
I’m completely new to lifting weights and have very limited equipment. All I pretty much have is a bar and some weights (although one of my friends has a bench and I will be going there once a week). If someone could offer some simple advice I’d be very grateful. I’d like to know how often I should work out and what kind of lifts to do. I just started eating more and doing some basic stuff like squats, curls, military presses, but I’m not sure if I have the right form.
If someone has some links to some kind of animation showing how to do stuff that would be awesome. I just started sorting through some of the beginner links but at the moment I’m working 60+ hours a week and don’t have a lot of free time. If someone could suggest a few good guides on here to read that you think would suit me that would also help. I know this question depends on a lot of factors, but how much weight should I be gaining per week (or month?) so that I’m gaining more mass without gaining a lot of fat.
So here’s your chance to set a newbie on the right track. Sorry if this stuff has been answered a million times, and thanks in advance for any advice.
