what a bunch of crap.
You should be nourished before you work out, so eat like an hour or more before. That way you can push yourself without running out of energy or nutrients. Then IMMEDIATELY (like definitely within 45 minutes) afterwards eat a portion of protein. I drink two large glasses of skim milk and eat a banana. As far as working out, since you just started your muscles are not yet "activated". I'd reccomend taking it easy but still working hard for like 3 more weeks, then add. You will feel when they finally turn on. The human body adapts a lot and it is really important to keep everything in line. I work out at night and eat my protein, then the next day i eat more protein. You MUST have protein for muscle growth or you WILL atrophy, but i don't think you need any powder protein or anything. Once you activate, I do 2 sets of 10 or so depending on what i can do and by the last rep i can't go any further at all. I circuit train since you can push yourself harder and isolate the muscle better with no wasted energy on stabilization. I work out for about 45 min to an hour and i do cardio and tone other days. For tone i rock climb and do martial arts to get the long toned muscles that take forever by lifting weights. For cardio i don't do anywhere near enough
this is likely to start into a debate on fucking working out, but I really take my shit seriously so i read up a LOT on this. I worked out over a year with little to no effect because i was doing it wrong.
