First day to gym in Months! Routine? Help? Before and After pics.

[praise the x i]

Quick question. I told myself I would start today (Monday) I just got off work. I am going to the gym at 10pm. It is my first day back in MONTHS. What should Ido when I get there. I am going to get back on Black Powder. But I do not want to look like a lost puppy when I get there. Any suggestions?

prepare to go thru hell....that first day is always the worse.

depending on how hard you go at it, the soreness will be a big factor to prepare for.

go for dips, pullups and other body weight exercises. If you're feeling big bench your bodyweight (unless you're 250+)

I ended up not going today, I do not have a good enough idea of what to do right now. I used to be 170, I went up to 191. I am confused. =/

After

I feel the same way. only thing i did workout wise is pull ups...i feel like your 2nd pic

edit: after bein out the gym myself about 3-4 weeks. i plan on hittin chest/tri and doing some cardio. Ima use DB's and some of the machines so i dont letthe difference (of being weight wise) deter me as much as say barbell benching would. good luck.

i'm about to hit the gym for the first time in a while also.... it hasn't been as long as the OP for me, but it's the first time in a couple weeks.

i'm planning on doing cardio for about 10 minutes, but after that i'm not sure what lifts i should be working on.

i was gonna make today my upper body day. i'm thinking... bench, dumbbell press, chest flys, shoulder flys, bicep curls... i'm not sure what else. cansomeone give me a solid "upper body" routine for one day?

 

[mr cool grey]

HOTTTT damn.

Ive been goin thru the same exact thing, and just last week i started hittin the gym again. Im running 20 minutes on the treadmill alone.

So to other knowledgable NTers, how would i go from that after picture to the before??

No

 

[downtown43]

my man.

check your PM.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I have to call ducktales. That's too drastic of a change. Why in the world would you let yourself get like that?

 

[ix is tha future]

OP man im in the same boat as you. good luck man

 

[dyzzle]

just do the basic compound exercises. SQUAT, deadlift etc. they burn the most calories. didnt lose weight even though i doubled what i was eating before istarted working out again. goodluck bro. that must be a lot of beer

 

[joseph camel jr]

Yeah definitely follow thetim's advice.....get your diet right, you'll drop weight immediately. Then work on bulking up, you are very cut in the firstpic but you have no real mass.

 

[siccwittit33]

lol why you gotta lie?

 

[blackmamba08]

I'm in the same boat as you OP, but for some reason I have no motivation to get back on the diet and start working out again.

at first I did.

 

[retro23j]

[durden7]

Im confused.

Did you used to go to the gym, or was your metabolism just naturally high?

 

[jayjay414]

Hahaha...this is me...I was 185 last summer now I'm @ 200...my eating habits are rediculous...if it wasn't for my semi-pro football season idk whereI'd be...

Attention? I'm looking for insight. I obviously have no motivation/ idea of how to get back. Every time I've posted it I've got 0_0 responses butthat was in General. That is why I am in here legitely trying to make a change. It is summer time and I have all the time in the world. Please help...
