Hi all!
I've decided to start working out and getting myself into shape. I am 17 and I used to do middle distance athletics (400m) and played tennis but I have stopped now for quite some time. I have never experienced any major muscle growth or development so that is what I am aiming at.
I am really underweight, I weigh 45 kilograms. I understand that I have to adjust my diet but what would be the most important things in my diet for me?
After doing a bit of reading, I have found that whey protein powder might be helpful. Which would be the best and most cost-effective? Also are there any other supplements that I can take to help me gain weight and build muscle?
Lastly, what kind of training should I be focusing on? At home, I have a 3kg and 5kg dumbell, as well as a benchpress (I'm not sure what weight sizes I have) and a treadmill.
Are there any books or resource material that would help?
All help appreciated!
