Rather than start a new thread i was wondering if i could post here.

I'm rather new to this field , 28 years of age (hope it's not too late to start). Height is 1.68m and weight is 70.5 kg , basically the dreaded skinnyfat body (used to be 81kg before i started working out in May).

Question is , what is good bodybuilding program for beginners if one is going for a good build ?

After dicking around with my exercises i've finally settled on doing Starting Strength (the pull up/chin up version). While i feel (subjective) like i'm gaining strength due to the constant weight increase , i'm not noticing any changes on my body.

Is it alright to do SS on a cut ? Or do i need to bulk in order to do this program ? Also , is there a better program for beginners looking for aesthetics or should i stick with SS till i reach a total stall ?

That's what I get regarding which training should I follow. It is depend on your target/objective as Darkie said..

Hi, I just wanna clarify. For those who are skinny and wanna gain size, have to lift high weight for 8-10 times do a total of around 9-12 sets for each muscle group

And those who wanna trim gotta lift light weight with higher times? is tat right ?

are we advised to squat twice per week ? or 1 would be enough?

If you're a bodybuilding oriented trainee which i assume you are since you're posting in a BB thread, once a week is enough. Slam the bodypart as hard as you can, with as much volume and intensity possible then rest, recover and grow. No one ever got bigger in the gym, they get bigger in the kitchen and while sleeping.

DL when you say train with lots of volume, how much volume are we talking about? 4-5 working sets of 12? or as much as you can take?

Is low fat yogurt good for bodybuilders ? If so ? which brand is recommended in Malaysia ?

normally yogurt r quite high in sugar

No its not. low fat = more sugar
and its processed carbs. but still ok with its supposed other benefits.
go for the normal "with fat" variety

Normal plain yogurt is good but only few people can tahan the taste

Fruits and yogurt are great.

It's not rocket science. 12-15 reps, 4-5 sets per exercise. Listen to your body. Go for the pump.

can somebody help??

Actually is squat a compound exercise that trains a few muscles at a go?All I feel when I do squats is the muscles at my leg

Squats will hit your quads, hams and glutes, as well as recruiting your abdominals and lower back for stability. That's 5 muscle groups worked there.

Oh I see,but I mostly feel only my muscles at my legs are sore after doing squats,that's normal?

the reason no one is replying is cos this question is quite irrelevant.
but to satisfy u. the answer is both yes and no.
read more other articles and u will get it, or dont read, and just go to gym and train anyway.
it wont affect u that much.

when training getting more and more difficult set by PT... felt like giving up

when she said "for that abs, for that biceps! ...." felt like saying, dun wan aredi then...

y ah? ....

You need more motivation.

Look into the mirror and hate what you see.

You're squatting, not curling. If you feel pain in the biceps means you're doing it very wrong.
