The Journey of the Skinnies

[Conquer92]

Yeah thanks it really means a lot and yeah my diet usually consist of oatmeal with banana and blueberries with a cup of orange juice for breakfeast or also eggwhites sometimes. For a snack im eating a fruit then for lunch usually chicken breast with rice, or a steak with beans. Then my other snack is usually peanut butter and jelly sandwhich then for dinner usually chicken again. Then i usually eat every fruit in sight or oatmeal again.

Alright guys im new here and new to body building.
im 6' and 155lb. skinny!

i have a few questions i need help with;
i feel sick after working out, sometimes i throw up
best beginner workout split? need weekends off mainly, would prefer 4days a week at the gym at most if possible.

let me explain the sickness question. in october i started p90x (i know not good for bulking, but some people said it works if you eat right and take out cardio) i got it for free so i figured id try it. it was great except for the fact that i felt like total sht after doing it. i mainly blamed it on being out of shape and never doing anythine this intense, so my body was in shock. but i did it for 3 weeks and it never stopped. at the end of week 3 my grandfather passed away, so that set me back a bit. then i had some financial trouble and had to work overtime a lot and didnt have time to do p90x everyday.

i would start feeling sick at about 40min into the workout every time. and then for a good hour, almost two after the work out. i would have to lay down for a while til i felt better. i couldnt even eat or drink a post work out because of it.

so i stopped for a while. and now i have my sht together and i joined a gym.

I started yesterday, with plans to follow a work out guide i found on here. "Short cut to size" i think its called. Well i got to the gym, and got a little overwhelmed with all the equipment ive never used before, so i just started doing back and bicep workouts. I was feeling great. getting a good pump going, jammin to my tunes and wouldnt you know it, about 40min in i started feeling awful. I started to take it easy and finished my set and stopped after that. for fear of puking in the middle of the gym lol

i dont know what it is thats doing this but its really frustrating. because i love working out, it feels great.
all i ate about an hour and a half before i went was yogurt with granola and a glass of milk. (i learned that eating anything big before i workout, i throw up. first few days i p90x i ate eggs and a banana, thinking i was fuelling myself for the battle. but in reality i was prepping for self made disaster)

any ideas?
and also im thinking the guide i found is a little much for a beginner, so any help on a basic routine would be great.

thanks guys appreciate any help, i attatched some "before" photos.

Thanks bud! I've gotta spread rep around before I can hit you again. I'll be trying for it pretty soon, I don't want to over extend myself and slow gains by aiming too high too quickly though. If I keep these gains going, should only be about a month.

Broke my bench press PR today. 200lb bench press for 2 reps!

Nice! Congrats! What's your goal?

[nolonger]

Nice! Congrats! What's your goal?

Don't have one. I was just going for my max out of curiosity. My goals are more physique oriented. Current goal is to make it to 10% body fat and keep my arms around 14.5-15" flexed. I'd say I'm floating around 12% right now.

[HoneyBadger300]

Physique!? Strength is all that matters bro! haha You're doing well though.

Do you even flavour?


Seriously, chuck some tobasco sauce on those eggs and throw some cinammon and raisins in the oats before your tastebuds lead a revolt.

[Willnotquit]

I might skip today, feeling tired, didn't get good sleep, last 5 days have been crap, made Oats in the morning and it turned out to be dry as hell (so I didn't even have a good breakfast), Whey is running out and not much Lunch meat to compensate for a PWO Meal.

You inspired me to cook a meal for the rest of the family (pasta) and I had a big egg, sausage, cheese and jalapeno omelet for dinner last night. I ate a plate of pasta too.


I think I'll do that more often.

same for me i dont want to go too fast and **** up my back cause that would effect like all my lifts and long recovery

[LNorris82]

Oh yeah I forgot to tell everyone, I started takin melitonin and sleep a solid 8 hours a night now

[y0lked]

what do you put the olive oil on? oats or eggs?

nope, i put it on the toast. tastes better than butter, and you can load the fuk up on it! Then i take the oatmeal, scoop it onto the toast and eat it that way.

i put honey on my eggs and eat the maple and brown sugar or apples and cinnamon instant packets, but other than that i like plain food. everything i eat is plain. never liked sauces/spices except ketchup and bbq sauce.
