(1) A good Whey Protein (brand maybe)
(2) On a scale of 1-10 (1 being pointless and 10 being absolutely vital) - Do I need to take Creatine?
(3) Should I do a total body workout or split?
I hate going to the college gyms because I'm small and tiny and so unimpressive. It's scary for me because UF has some of the biggest fucking athletes in existence in there training. I know they don't judge, but I have severe insecurity issues with my size and even though I would be able to train judgment free, I still would feel so threatened and pathetic, I probably wouldn't train well. I know I have SERIOUS work to do with my insecurities, but for now, it is safe to say they will remain as much a part of me as my left arm.
So, my plan: I have equipment. I have adjustable dumbbells (from Bowflex) that I bought over the summer. They still look pretty new, come to think of it. I wonder why? Hmm, maybe I'm lazy ? Anyway, they can crank up to 90 pounds. That's one heavy fucking dumbbell. I'm quite sure I can get a good workout using these. I have a bench as well. In fact, most of the athletes I have seen working in the gym bench press with dumbbells anyway. I guess it's harder? Squatting sucks with dumbbells and I love to do squats.
(4) Can I get a legitimate workout with these? I hate doing barbell exercises. They suck, sweaty ass (sorry, just my opinion). Additionally, I have to go back to the scary gym to use them since all I have is an EZ Curl bar. But with limited weights.
(5) I've been lifting heavy with them, doing 5-7 reps for 4-5 sets. I get my ass kicked pretty good. Is that sufficient?
Right now, I've been doing total body. I basically just do bench, squat, and deadlifts (MWF). I do my ab work on TTHSa. Sometimes I throw in some curls and skullcrushers. I keep getting told to keep it simple for awhile since my body isn't really used to it.
Goals: Right now, I'm a pretty lean bugger. I'm probably between 5'7" and 5'8". I only weigh roughly 130 pounds. I'd love to get to 140. See, I have simple goals. I love being thin and I don't want to bulk up to be a monster. It's just not me. I like my slim physique. I just want a little muscle on it. I eat clean and with a good amount of calories, protein, and carbs. Very little fat. I probably need to see a nutritionist.
Suggestions, please? THANKS!
