New to working out. Any advice on my situation?

[Elbreezy]

Hey guys. So I'm on the slim side and was previously chubby. I'm looking to tighten my skin as well and gain some mass and stay lean. So far I eat a lot. No fast or junk food. Usually all home cooked. If I eat a lot and workout which consists of weight training and running 1.5 miles every other workout will I gain some mass? Any tips to get where I want? I've been working out every day for like two weeks and starting to like it. Comparing old pictures I put on some mass but my waist is a bit thicker. Again, any help would be great. Thanks!

What the two people above me said, hands down. Oh, and ease up on the running for now.

Muscle grows during protein synthesis. This is essentially the process of torn muscle fibers (the result of weight training) restructuring and becoming harder and stronger as a result of cellular repair. This process happens during rest. So, I think you should be sure to add some rest days. As a beginner, we all are the same. We have so much excitement, so much desire but so little patience. Trust in the power of rest brother. It will enable you to reach your fullest potential and it will reduce then risk of injury.

I would advise learning from someone at a higher level to facilitate your growing process. Contact me for coaching I will teach you everything you need to know !

Try out SL 5x5. I think its the best workout routine. Most strength workouts are based on it or almost the same as that one. Works great.

Full body high frequency training is the best training for beginners

StrongLifts is based on the old 5x5 program designed long before the guy who made it was born. Those other 5x5 programs are more likely based on those older programs (Reg Park's and Bill Starr's being two common ones).

Keep it simple. Buy Starting Strength. Read it. Do the program exactly as laid out, and do the lifts exactly as described.
