Nice job BadMoon. The first week is always the toughest. I have been doing CrossFit for 3 months now and I remember that first week being a total killer! Now I am really into it and go 4-5 times a week and I am seeing great results. I am 5'10" and 173 lbs and have pretty much stayed at that weight but have lowered by % body fat and put on some additional muscle. I almost have abs again.

Good to see you sticking with your workout regiment.

Thanks! The first three days were tough. Once I got through that it's gotten a lot better. Now if I could shake this damn cold I would really be on point! Its not fun jumping all around like crazy and wiping snot all over your t shirt.

I am all abs... I want to get this chest huge!

I want to compete again!

^^ I wish I had your problem. No matter how clean I eat or how much cardio I do, fat on my torso just does not want to go away. Last year I could drop fat easily, but for whatever reason, now it's an extreme enigma.

I had my week weigh in this morning. I started at 192. I'm at 186.

I doubt I will see that much come off each week. From here 2 a week is probably a good goal. I have the day off tomorrow.

Nice job! You usually lose the most the first week or so (water weight), so setting your expectations to 2 lbs/week is very realistic.

CrossFit class this morning was a killer. 50 yrd plate push, 20 ring dips, 20 sit ups, and 50 yrd wheelbarrel (walking on your hands). Repeat 3 times. Shoulders were burning after this one.

I'm new to the gym scene, i feel i need a planner or schedule to keep things new each day and different and organized.

My goals are to build muslc mass. I DON'T WANT A WRESTLER TYPE BODY, more like a Bruce Lee type since i'm naturally skinny and to carve my abs and do cardio for fitness.

Any advice on how to make a plan?

 

[Skiman]

I'm just going to state this.

NO ONE, NATURALLY can get super MASSIVE!!!! You won't get HULK-ISH by lifting a few weights, it takes YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of goin 5-7 days a week 2-3 hours everyday of your life.

Just stating, nothing to worry about getting all ULTRA MASSIVE HUGE overnight.

I'm pretty sure Bruce Lee had like .05% of body fat so focus on a lean muscle mass by doing 12-15 reps with lighter weights opposed to 8-10 with heavier weights. Factor in tons of cardio, ab work, and a very strict and healthy diet.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Thanks for the advice guys, like i said i'm a newb

So should i be focussing on a muscle group per day opposed to a bit of everything each day?

I'm thinking of doing these on alternate days...

If you're skinny Nova, I'm sure it's ok to do all kinds of reps. Since you need/want to build mass you could even vary between 6 to 12 reps. Like Jamie said, start a very strict and healthy diet, BUT take in more calories than you're body needs. Focus on putting on lean musclemass first. Than when you're at your desired weight, start cutting back and losing that little bit of fat that you added. No doubt you will get to your goal and don't worry about the wrestler-type body. It's like grandmaster Ski says. You don't get big overnight so whenever you feel like you need to put a hold on your growth after many many years you do it. You're in control man!

I'm quite confused about the process i'll have to take to get my body the way i want, not just from the numerous (often contradicting) articles on muscle building, healthy eating and cardio but because my body chemistry is dramatically different than the average persons which puts all the above into question.

With some googling i found some cool testimonials...

I had my week weigh in this morning. I started at 192. I'm at 186.

This made me curious to see my weight in lbs since i calculate my weight in kg over here, but i converted it and i weigh roughly 120lbs so i could do with some bulk i reckon

120 lbs?? How tall are you?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

About five foot six inches.

At 57 kg that makes me about 125lbs

 

[Mister Ski]

You could probably stand to gain 20-30 lbs at that height. That would put you in the 150 lb range.

I agree with the two Skis. Your not going to get super massive or become the Hulk overnight. But I really do think you should add some weight to your frame Nova because of your height.
