Beginner seeking an answer

Well hello world !

Im new to this board and i figure i would start with a little question.

See im actually 24 years old, im about 5''10 in height and i weight 152. Even tho all this weight is mucle im kinda leen. I have a lots of muscle but there rather long and lean and therefore i lack mass. Im wondering if 24 years old is too old to start training seriously with the objective to gain a lot of mass. I have a good nutrition and a healthy live style. Im training a little bit at home but im willing to get serious. just wondering if its still possible for me to get the result that i want. Im motivated but wondering if my goals are possibles. Im looking at something like increasing my weight up to 185 or so.

Thx everyone
PS: please forgive my english. i know it sucks

without a doubt 5 10 185 shouldnt be a problem. look at some of the diets and routines around the site. there is alot of knolege around this board. remember to get bigger you have to do everything bigger....eat, lift, sleep

First, find a bulking diet that you think you can follow, second, come up with a split that emphasizes compound movements like squats, deads and benchpress.

I would suggest you look at the posts by Control in the beginners section. He has a low volume routine that is good for beginners and also a good bulking diet. In your mind the low volume thing wont seem right but it will be great to get your body used to the bodybuilder type of lifting. I did it for three months and gained close to the same amount as I had the three months prior lifting 3-4 days a week.

Keep reading on this site and understand the different opinions. Not everybody is the same and ultimately you are going to have to figure out what works best for your body.

Its all about the food. Go eat some protein.

First welcom to the board. Your goals are definatley realistic. The advice already given is good.

no your not old. i started at 24 and am now 33 i was 133 lbs and now im 190 so your goal is not unrealistic eat and lift and eat some more. p.s. it didnt take me that long to make 190 i have been around that for a few years.
