O.K.> I am 5'10" and weigh 145-150# and have kept this weight as a way to stay light and agile. I am 30 and have really decided to get in better shape after riding and abusing my body with bad nutrition and habits (somehow I still rode!).
I am lifting weights without a trainer (to expensive) and trying to do right by reading informative books etc. I am eating better but still learning this nutrition thing and hoping as I get used to it, it will get a little less inconveinent and complicated. I stopped drinking (90 days!! a record) and smoking. So here is my dilema.
All the lit. I read says to gain some mass as an ectomorph, that I need to limit aerobic activity. Does this include good hard enrgy sapping, leg killing rides? Or just roadie stuff? I can't stop riding!! I've noticed there are some real knowledgable people on this site and was wondering if anyone had any advice or ideas. Oh and nutrition advice on books,webites would help too. Thanks a ton in advance. Shreds-C (P.S. anyone wanna give me typiing lessons?)
