[Apex]

Good information can be found with Bill Phillips' book "Body For Life". He has done wonders with people following what can be found in that book. Of course when he wrote it, he was still CEO of EAS, so there will be several recommendations for those products. I have used them in the past and had decent results with them.

I am almost 6', and back in the day I weighed 130#. I started working out and taking a few EAS products (protein and Phosphagen HP), and I shot up to 145...and I was rather cut too. Now I've gotten married I have been between 170 and 180. I am working to drop my weight back to around 160, except with more muscle.

Just take it slow and steady and do your best not to over train.

#1 rule of exercise, listen to your body. The no pain no gain saying can be thrown out the window. If you sense pain, stop. Maybe try reducing the weight. Form, form, form, form. I was injured and out for 6 months because of a shoulder injury I caused by bad lifting. I was trying to rush progress too much and paid the price.
