I second this one, last year when I didnt know anything some guy from gnc told me all this stuff i thought was true, but it was bull. haha
Eaten more. Don’t do an upper/lower split every damn day for about a year. Do what I am doing now as far as training goes but back then I needed to lose weight.
I also would have started the compound lifts earlier…stopped worrying about my upper body only done more than lat pulldown, bench and curls in highschool and started heavy ass squats and deads
got my form down better on squats and deads before i started to do them, i probably shoul;d of hired a coach or a trainer
actually use the weight set i was given as a present three years ago so i would have three years training under my belt instead of six months

If you could go back to when you first started lifting what would you do differently?
Start isolation/hypertrophy training right away, skip the “strength/compound lifts” phase.
That is the type of retardedness I would expect to hear from a personal trainer… [/quote]
Just ignore that troll

What type of training are you doing now?
I’m still a yougin’ but I’d say train legs sooner (squats), train heavier sooner. (<8-10 reps)
BTW, great thread topic.

put all my money on the giants! Oh, and started my pirate ninja kung fu earlier.
Talk to the big guys in the gym instead of just looking at them. I eventually did, but it could have been a lot sooner.
