Greetings everyone! Forum noob here. Short bit of background before I get to the question(s).
I'm 28, 6' bout 200 and about 20 lbs of excess fat. 6 years ago I had an incident that required considerable physical therapy and as a side effect, depressed the hell out of me. Up until that point I had always been very fit (high school athelete, joined the army etc etc). For a couple years I was informed that I couldn't work out like I used to and i may never be able to again. One thing led to another and I got pretty bummed out and just let myself go. I got back from the doc today and asked the question I always do. "Am I ready?" He gave me the green light! I can't tell you how stoked I am!
However.... I don't know where to begin! There are SO many damn supplements and hoodoo stuff it honestly boggles my mind. I can go back to one of my old daily caloric intake plans, however that was designed for someone of much better condition and quite a bit younger.
My plan is to drop some of this fat and get back the muscle mass I used to have, if not improve upon it. Gear has always scared the crap out of me but I might consider it sometime later on after I've gotten back into the swing of things.
I've perused this board at length and found a lot of useful information, but much of it is targeted towards people that are already up to speed and looking for a little more. Other than the physical therapy and basic day to day chores, I'm in crap condition. Do yall have any suggestions where I may be able to look for some guidance as well as what kind of supplements I might look at taking? Actually, any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanx very much for the insight and help!
