I'm 16 years old, 167cm (5ft 6ish?) and weigh 50kg (yes, not much I know) and basically 5 years I've suffered from an illness so I have lost a lot of my muscle. I am now pretty much fully recovered wanting to build up my muscles.
I currently have 10 weeks off school so I could possibly do an 'intensive' routine if there is one. I could probably go gym about twice a week (its quite expensive) but have a set of dumbbells at home. I'm not expecting to be able to bulk up much over the 2months just to start be off I want to get into a good routine.
I don't really want to change my diet miraculously (however I can to some extent and I realise the quickest way for me to build muscle would be to change it) and currently it is an ok diet. A typical day would be:
Breakfast - Crunchy nut - anytime between 9am and 11am
Lunch - Cheese sandwhich (or ham, pâté, egg mayonnaise etc.), scotch egg (if we have any) and a yoghurt - between 12am and 1pm
Afternoon - Fruit salad - between 3pm to 5pm
Dinner - Meat + vegetables or pasta like spaghetti bolognese etc.
I wasnt planning on buying any substances such as Whey however would it be very beneficial to me?
I've read GordyR's guide and now just looking for a routine which would suit me as there seem to be many different types of excerise. The excerises would preferably need to be done using dumbbells or anything else that can easily be done in my own home (I already have a routine for the gym however I cant list it as I dont know what the machines/excerises are called).
All input would be appreciated,
Thanks
