Hi /f/,

I'm your average 19 year old skinny guy who wants to get into shape. Don't laugh please, I genuinely have the determination necessary. I was just wondering what my routine should be around the start up stage? Like I was just after some advice from some seasoned gym goers, maybe even what you started out doing?

eg. how many days a week, what were you working on each day and what exercises did you do? How much weight and how many sets?

Any insights would be much appreciated.

Everything you ask has been awnsered at least a million times. Lurk a bit. Compare routine. Also read the fucking sticky.

Instead of making a new thread about this, I'll just post in here because similar situation. Read the sticky, I just have a few questions due to the specific circumstances surrounding my body.

I happen to be pretty skeleton tier out of ten (like barely over 110 lbs) at 5'6" due to anorexia which I've yet to get complete control over, but I've been getting better. [spoiler:lit]I'm a dude before anyone asks[/spoiler:lit]

Anyways, I've been eating at about my maintenance for a few months now with no real change in weight, and I feel a lot better since I've been eating more, but I'm still worried that a dietary change that allowed a surplus of calories wouldn't go much towards muscle, rather, that my body would try to pack on as much fat as possible due to being in starvation mode previously.

After the few months of eating normally, should I be worried about nogains if I start lifting? I don't feel like death like I have before, but I'm still not sure if my body is still in starvation mode (it was about 2 years of barely eating which is why I ask)

Also, because of the routine I've built, I'd rather not give up my cardio unless absolutely necessary. I do at least 10km of running every day at about a 6 minute mile pace. Assuming I eat enough to still be at a caloric surplus, will the extra cardio hurt muh gains?

Thanks in advance guys. I hope I can get out of skellymode.

Also, does anyone know if it's still possible for me to grow any taller? Genetically, I shouldn't be short, but my lack of eating seems to have stunted my growth. I'm 18 to be 19 next spring, and assuming I begin eating again, is it possible to escape manlet mode, or has my anorexia likely cut me down to size for good?

Just eat until you are at a healthy BMI, don't worry about looking fat when you look like skeletor. As you work out you will gain more muscle.

just eat dude. as far as routines go you shouldn't bother "building" one yourself at this point. you have no where near the knowledge that was put into most beginner routines. just do something like SS (but actually read the book) and run on some off days. when you star getting heavier your not gonna be able to run every day without fucking up your knees. you should still do cardio as much as your body allows you, but don't do it so much that it comes in the way of lifting

as far as your height goes, you're pretty much screwed. i'm pretty much coming from the same background as you, though not nearly as extremely spooky skelleton and i am the same hight now at 22 as i was at 18(when i started getting healthy)

just lift, eat like a motherfucker and keep up with your cardio but try to make it lower impact. you'll make it brah.

This board is usually pretty shitty but it seems shittier today and there has been a large influx in tomatoes. Are we being attacked by some tricksters?

Thanks man. Is there a place I can pirate a digital version of SS, or do I need to shell out the cash for the book?

i pirated it but that was 4 years ago so not sure where I got it. it shouldn't be too hard to find though.

also its by far the best book for beginners for training, but don't take everything in it as gospel. Rips nutrition advice is particularly bad if i remember correctly. The thing is everyone in the gym whose been working out for awhile has a ton of knowledge. Working out isn't a very well studied science though so alot of the knowledge people have is just plain wrong. The good thing about SS is you'll be starting your training with ~90 percent of what you know about lifting being right, which is way better than most people.

If you just stick to the program for awhile you'll be pretty strong 12 months from now. And if you keep your cardio up, decently athletic too
