Hey guys, I usually stay in the mayberry and this is my first time on this board.
I'm 36 and have started working out for the first time in my life this year (lot of wasted time)
When covid hit I cleaned up my diet and cut out all bread, stopped drinking pop, no more beer (moved on to whiskey and ice) and started walking every night.
By mid September I had lost a tad over 50 lbs and felt great. Myself and a couple buddies pooled money and built a gym in a garage. Power rack, chin up bat, dip station, benches, lots of bands, lots of both plates and dumb bells. It's great.
Its changed my life and has become one my favourite things to do. I feel bad for not starting sooner. I think my diet is decent and I'm throwing weight around regularly, I'd like to add a new level to my game.
I know nothing about supplements, the only thing I do is try and eat lots of eggs on lift days.
Clueless about what I should be doing and when I start to look into it I get overwhelmed. Theres a ton of info about everything and everything is good and bad.
Posting this hoping to get some tips so i can start researching g something specific instead of just bombarding myself with info.
Should I be buying protein powder? Whey? Is there a non prescription testosterone worth checking out?
In looking to add a bit of size but nothing crazy, not aiming to be a big bulky dude.
6'3 and currently 207, ideally probably 220-225. Dropped from 261 and like the feeling of being lighter, I dont want to gain a lot of weight but I do want to grow a bit.
Thanks for taking the time to read fellas, looking forward to any and all advice.
