I have a goal when working out, to have a better and good looking body, following the working out routine of Frank Zane.

Minor mass gain but better toning and definition.

Hahaha... I hate this picture but, whatever... just getting started back then.
Too much fat specially in the abs, and no definition at all.
1 year passed by real quick, and I´ve finally learned how to work out aiming for mass gaining and definition. Of course it´s not a drastic change but, I feel much better today, if compared to my previous years.
What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
I used to be totally reckless, and pull the weights just to see how much I could endure. Didn´t had any ideas on how to execute or when to stop.

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Ask for advices. It´s not something that you should be ashamed of.
I didn´t had any kind of orientation when I started, so I spent almost one year just exercising the way I tought it was right.
WRONG.
There are special ways to lift weights, when to hold and contract your muscles, the exact time to rest between rows and how to organize your schedule for the weeks.
Go for it!Ask for advices. It´s not something that you should be ashamed of.

Also i have a workout thread if you search my name
This is my fav shoulder workout and little secret. Other than that you can do the common shoulder presses (change between BB and DB) and all the other generic excercises) you should be sore the first few times you do the workout
actually shoulders are probably the easiest to train (least amount of fat in body). heres what i do for shoulders:
I change between doing shoulder shrugs and hold with a barbell. Basically you load weight onto the BB on a rack at waist level(i started with 135 and do 225 now) then you get a shoulder width grip (or whatevers most comfortable) and shrug your shoulders, count to 3 and then lower the weight. do 2 sets of 10, 1 set of 8, and 1 of 6.. pm the rest
I see people using tons of weight to shrug and I believe its a waist of time....I use the Smith Machine and just squeeze from shoulders up to the back of my neck...Increase the weight if you can do 12...
I take a big cooler with me to work with 3 meals in it with ice blocks. I eat lots of red meat,tuna, pork loin, chicken breast, fish(not fried),eggs,fruit,veggies lots of brown rice and occasionally some turkey spaghetti, and tons of low fat or nonfat cottage cheese. Lots of the things i eat i top with some fresh pico de gallo.
I eat about 6 times a day, about every 3 hours no less than 500 cals each meal during my bulk. When cutting, i'm around 300-400 cals per meal. 2 meals a day are shakes, sometimes 3 if it's a busy day for me.
off and on for years, never stuck to it. i have stayed with it this time for almost 2 years. i am now at the place mentally to stick with it. i fu-ked around a lot when i was younger,lifted hard, but didn't know jack about nutrition.
