This is a great post. I've been lurking around the Gym threads for quite a while now, without posting too much really. As it can be quite intimidating for the leaner folk like myself
Been going to the gym on and off since Nov 2012. I've not had any plan or routine to stick to, so its very much been... Go to Gym, do X Y Z, not really knowing why I'm doing it, then going home. I feel like I'm working hard when I'm there, but I often find myself just picking any free equipment and doing something random rather than following routines.
I believe I've also got a fairly terrible diet. Generally always skip breakfast, lunch is normally just sandwiches of some sort, or pasta. Snacks of chocolate bar and stuff that comes in my graze box! :/ Dinner can be a mixture of things. tend to eat a lot of chicken, beef, pasta, rice, sweet potato.
This post has really made me realise that I certainly need to get on a proper routine in place, as well as sort out my diet. Especially now pre-season for American Football is coming to an end.
I may well start a training log on here and get some pictures posted, etc. No doubt will be asking for quite a bit of advice
