I am fairly new to weight training so i would like some help.
I am joining the military in the future so most of my workout has been cardio and push-ups, pull-ups, etc. but i want to add some size before then. I have a couple years until enlistment so i want to bulk up now. I figure i can drop the push-ups for now and start working with weights until i reach a decent size and begin back with the push-ups later but there is no way i can stop running and swimming. I usually run every other day for 2-6 miles and try to swim 30 mins. a day. I plan on doing some variation of the 5x5 along with my cardio. My question is with all my cardio can i expect to make some gains with the follwing diet or should i stick to what i know and just have strong endurance?
I would also like help with when to eat which foods in relation to my workouts and i was also thinking about starting with protein shakes...i get tired of plain milk.
What do you think?
