re: Ot workout guru advice needed on shaping up

Look at an old thread I started for some help Guidelines

god you have to love the old myth of light weight/high reps to "tone"

OP, look into the greyskull lp. pretty much fits what you are looking for.

or you could just do a bodyweight program

i want to get lean, not bulk

It's easy to stop getting bigger so don't worry too much about waking up one day and not fitting your arms into sleeves.

no but I knew you would think it was retarded also.

People still seriously suggest low reps/heavy weight to bulk and high reps/low weight to lean out? :rofl:

OP, fix most of your issues in the kitchen; figure out your TDEE, subtract 20% or add 20% depending on your goals. Shoot for 1g of protein per pound of *desired* weight; fill in the rest with carbs/fats. Avoid sugar & non-dietary sources of fat.

As for the gym, just stick to major compounds for the first couple of months then come back & ask for more. Use good form & breathe.
