I just came here to find this info. Glad someone made a thread. I'll browse through the exercise thread as well. I just bought a gym membership to Planet Fitness (I know I know) but I'm not looking to get jacked. Just want to get more in shape. Like Chris Pratt shape or something like that. I'm 6'4", 180lbs. I'm not overweight, a little bit of a belly I guess, I'm pretty sure I'll burn that off while I gain muscle. I'm somewhat skinny framed by default. I was about 155lbs my entire life until about 5 years ago or so when my metabolism started catching up with me. I've never watched what I eat before.
I'm at a total loss though on how to start though. I'd like to exercise 3 or 4 times a week, 30 minutes to an hour. I have no idea which exercises I should do with Planet Fitness equipment, and I have no idea what to eat. Everywhere I read just says deadlift all day eery day, and inhale chickens and you too can be the size of the Rock. Well I'm looking for something realistic, that isn't going to kill me and demotivate me. I also have no idea what supplements to use. When I did work out for a few months about 15 years ago, it was gross whey protein shakes, and creatine. No idea what the best stuff to use now days is for the best gains. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated.
