I have been lifting seriously for about 5 years but took the last 7months off, however previously i have only done powerlifting and therefore only lifted for strength. Lately i have been thinking about getting back into the gym but i just cant get psyched about powerlifting anymore, so i have decided to give bodybuilding a go.
Here is where i need help, the following questions all pertain to me being a novice at this so keep that in mind. Currently i would like to start bulking until the spring gets here again.
How many days a week should i be lifting 4,5,6?
What types of splits should i use for my workout?
How many different excersises should i do per body part per day?
How many sets and reps per excercise?
Also how much cardio should i do while bulking?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, oh and if any of you know of any good books with advice on this let me know, thanx
