If my main concern is to gain mass, is cardio a good or bad thing?
I've never worked out so I'm more than likely going to kill myself trying to do these things. Anyone have tips on learning how to do them correctly since I don't have anyone to work out with. I really do have alot of anxiety over getting to the gym and getting it done sadly.
Monday - Chest and Triceps
Flat Dumbbell Press - 2 sets, 10 reps
Incline Barbell Bench Press - 2 sets, 10 reps
Decline Bench Press - 2 sets, 10 reps
Dumbbell Flyes - 2 sets, 10 reps
Wednesday - Bicep/Back
Straight bar curls - 2 sets, 10 reps
Hammer curls - 2 sets, 10 reps
Lat pull down - 2 sets, 10 reps
Friday - Shoulders/Abs
Military Press - 2 sets, 10 reps
Rear lateral raises - 2 sets, 10 reps
Crunches - However many I can do
Should I switch some around? Or does that arrangement work?
Next, when you start out how do you choose the proper weight? One you can do 20 reps with or the heaviest you can muster without losing control of it?
As for diet, I have no idea. I'm trying to come up with alot of crap since I'm looking for mass. What else am I missing?
Breakfast - Oatmeal, banana, eggs, toast, (egg white?)
Lunch - Ham/turkey, some tuna, water
Dinner - Whatever parents have made, usually some sort of meat (chicken, steak, hamburger)
