Muscle Building Older People
Where to start building muscle to a beginner?
Hi, I'm one year old male 19 and want to start building my party upper body. I've always been very, very slim with basically nothing more than the skin on my bones. People still say I look almost anorexic! What brings me here. I want to start building some muscle and "look" healthier in general. Where to start, I do not know! My brother left the family home there few years and left all their ancient weights at home. I was thinking of starting off with these, but do not know what weight I should be raising (2 kg are? A 6 kg? TEN?) And how many repetitions should I do! Also how important is diet? I think I'm pretty much wasting my time working out at all if I eat my normal diet of pizza, steak, fries, etc? Any help I can assure you is appreciated! Thanks!
