Newbie wants to get cut

[martythyme]

I've been out the gym for years. I don't mean to sound obsessive, but I was kind of inspired to get back in shape by watching the contenders on American Gladiators. It's the only network program that shows athletes compete against people who are body builders or physical specialists.

I'll probably never be able to get totally ripped, but I'm looking to safely get into top shape by lifting and sound supplements. It seems like theres a lot of god information here.

Welcome back to the world of fitness.

I would only change one little thing about your approach.

Make it:

Lifting and sound diet ...then think about supps.

And yes, there is a lot of good information here. It can be a lot to sift through...so don't let that thwart your plans in the least. It will all come together for you with a bit of research and a lot of determination.

Ask questions, think about starting a training journal, and just get in the gym and get lifting! Keep it simple.
