Its been 20 years since I had a regular workout.

My goal is to reestablish some of the muscle I had when I was younger and lose some of the fat.

I respond pretty well.
Back in the late 70's I used predigested liquid protien L ornithine and L arginine and dopamine.

I was 5'10 and about 180 back in 1979
now I am 215 and need an overhaul.

Please suggest some of the modern day chemicals.

I am very old school Sandy peterson and derk Shaw.Has anything been improved???

THX in advance

Welcome to DB!

Modern Day Chemicals:

Whey Proteins that actually mix well with water and taste great
Fish Oil as part of the EFA Complex for helping you to lose weight
Multi-Vitamins
Creatine (V12, regular creatine and other transports)
NO2 type supplements for a pump (like L Arginine)

Newer Training:

Max-OT
German Volume Training
AtoZ All Star Fitness ebook
Jeff Anderson's Optimum Anabolics Program

A less is more approach seems to be the latest rage. More intensity but less time in the gym as to avoid the over-training. Long gone are the days of 7 days a week, 4 hrs in the gym. It seems with the newer training programs things are safer and more intense.

One thing hasn't changed. The basics. Most good programs still incorporate the basics like squats, benching, curls and pull-ups.

And of course a bigger change has been the overall effort to encourage people to gain a better understanding of nutrition.

Take what you knew in the 1970's, take that hardcore intensity, apply some new age programs a little bit of nutrition and you will be back in share in no time.

Most important of all: Take it slow. After 20 years you want to get back into the routine. Not go all out, get too sore and quit. So start off simple, read some of the posts on this forum, check out the various ebooks and posts on nutrition and get off to a nice and easy start. I'd like to know that you'll have regular workouts for the next 20 years from here on out!

Thank you MDA 1125,

I will look on this board for further insight to your suggestions.

Welcome to the board, I am in the exact position as you; it has been 20+ years since I lifted. MDA is right about going slow; I over did it the first time out and had to rest for five days due to soreness. It was very discouraging and gained nothing from it.

I need to lose weight now not gain it as I did back in the late 70’s. I read on these boards about Muscle Milk and have started to drink it, but I am confused because it says it is a fat burner, but it also says it can be used as a gainer. MDA I know you like Muscle Milk
If you read this post could you help with some advise on how to use it.

Thanks

It was very discouraging and gained nothing from it.

How can you say you gained nothing from it. Looks to me that you gained knowledge. The better knowledge the mind has, the better body it can build.

I guess I can’t deny that.

Have any advice on Muscle Milk?

Thanks!
