How should I start my bodybuilding workout?
I am 17 years old. I am 6′3 and weight 200 lbs. I am not fat, however I would like to get rid of a little fat. I’d say i probably have a fat percentage of 17 from the last time i checked. I want to gain a lot of mass and get ripped. My problem is that I don’t know if i should burn fat first then gain muscle or vice-versa. I want to be in shape sort of like a body builder. I would also like to know how bodybuilders start their career. I would rather do free weights because I dislike machines. Can you also please give me some good nutrition tips.
I would highly recommend that u gain muscle first and then lose fat. It is impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, so u should build up mass as much as u feel is good for u and then try to burn off the excess fat.
Bodybuilders usually start off by entering in low level local competitions, and if they win or do really good they will enter more advanced competitions. Some cities dont usually have any bodybuilding competitions so people have to travel longer distances sometimes. But u can check online or ask someone at ur local gym if they know of any. However, most of the guys u c that r at the top take massive amounts of steroids that cost them ten of thousands of dollars and sometimes even more than that. Also, most do not ever get to the professional level unless they take steroids. Of course i am not saying it isnt possible but one must work very hard.
Here is a very good mass gaining guide and program:
try to aim for each day about 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight each day (fish, eggs, chicken, lean beef, steak, pork, tuna, protein shakes, milk, etc), and about 2-3g of carbs per lb of bodyweight each day (pasta, brown/white rice, wheat bread, oatmeal, healthy cereals, potatoes, etc). As far as fats go, since ur trying to gain muscle, dont worry a whole lot about em. However, u should try to keep saturated fats to a minimum and increase the amounts of poly and monounsaturated fats, as well as omega 3 and 6. Best bet is to try to keep fat around 50-100 but dont worry if u go a bit over.
heres an example diet, pretty close to what i do but less quantity of food:
1. upon wakening- protein shake (mixed in milk) and banana
2. breakfast- scrambled eggs (2 whole,1 white) and 2-3 slices of wheat bread or 1/2 cup oatmeal or cup healthy cereal
3. post workout- plain, white bagel (or 2 slices of white bread) with jelly and a protein shake/chocolate milk (shake should have around 50g of protein)
4. next meal- 1/2 cup brown rice/pasta/potatoes and chicken/steak/pork/lean beef/fish
5. next meal (snack)- tuna sandwich/canned chicken sandwich/turkey sandwich
6. before bed- protein shake/big glass of milk and 1-3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
this is just a sample, but its pretty simple. The postwork meal can be done wenever, i just put it after breakfast because i lift in the mornings. That is a very important meal. After wokrouts when ur eating a lot it is hard to eat a big meal, so this is easy and doesn’t take too long to fix up. People argue with this saying is not good buts its the best thing after a workout. The jelly will cause in insulin spike that will force the glucose and protein into the muscle cells to start protein synthesis and refill glycogen stores. If u don’t the money to buy protein shakes (they can be bought pretty cheap at walmart with 50g of protein/2 scoops), chocolate milk is the next best thing because the chocolate will help the casein protein in milk digest faster. Also, at bedtime, the oils in the natural peanut butter will slow down protein absorption to limit the amount of time u will be in a catabolic state during sleep. And if u want to add in another meal because ur hungry, then go ahead, but try to eat every 2-3 hrs. I only weigh about 20 lbs heavier than u so the amounts of food should be pretty close to what u should eat, however if u feel it is too much then take some out or add in some if u r not satisfied with the results.
Finally, it is good that u would rather do free weights because they give the absolute results and theres hundreds of studies that ive read and done to prove it. So just remember to lift very hard and heavy, keeping ur rep range in the 6-12 for maximum results.
good luck and email me if u have ne further questions or want a lifting program.

American Bodybuilding Mass Recovery – Punch Flavor (Case of 24) $70.94 Mass Recovery Drink Highlights: 380 Nutrient Dense. Calories to Help Pack On Size & Strength! 100% Whey Protein Isolate (of total protein). 35 g Pure WPI for Rapid Absorption & Amino Acid Uptake. Only 6 g Sugar! 60 g Total Carbs for Optimal Muscle & Glycogen Recovery. 200 mcg Chromium to Aid Carbohydrate Metabolism. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) 99% Lactose Free! No Aspartame! Mass Recovery Takes Post-Workout Muscle Repair and calculated nutrition beyond bodybuilding dogma. No more guesswork as to what your muscles are craving after or between workouts. Each incredible tasting, fruit-flavored Mass Recovery provides a precise combination of mass building and muscle repairing macro- and micronutrients for serious results – 35 g 100% Pure Whey Protein Isolate, 60 g Total Carbs, Only 6 g sugar, 200 mcg Chromium, 380 Calories and absolutely NO Aspartame…for advanced recovery nutrition. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is the purest form of whey protein extraction, yielding at least 90% pure whey and less of what you don’t want from a protein source – sugar, lactose, carbs and fat. To put that into perspective, Whey Protein Concentrates yield only about 70% whey, with the remainder of its volume coming from the aforementioned other sources (i.e. carbs and fat). WPIs also contain a high level of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAS), Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, as well as other essential and non-essential amino acids, not to mention vital protein fractions such as Lactoferrin, Immunoglobulins and Glycomacropeptides. The high BCAA concentration is important because they play such a critical role in stimulating protein synthesis and inhibiting protein catabolism, by way of metabolic as well as hormonal functions. The Inside Scoop: Mass Recovery Drinks by ABB Power & Recovery Formula, 18 fluid ounces. Nutrition Facts: Serving Size (bottle) 1 Servings Per 1 Calories 380 Fat Calories 0 Total Fat (g) 0 Sat.
