to those of you who are saying "well, I'd rather study and hone my mind. Being ripped is useless these days, being smart is 10x better than being ripped........."
Do you seriously think that you have to choose between smart and strong?
Have you ever considered the possibility that some people want to good AT MORE THAN ONE THING?
Oh, but I forgot, you're all sheltered edgy teenagers who still think that anyone with muscles must automatically be a neanderthal. lmao pls go

I'm 15 and this is edgy

Totes this. You kids act like being shredded and being intelligent are mutually exclusive; they're not and you have a bad case of sour grapes if you think otherwise. A truly intelligent man realises his body is the vessel through which his mind experiences the world. If his body is not it's best how can his mind possibly be? At 50 I'll still be actively experiencing all the wonder the world had to offer while you pseudo-intellectuals will be fat, unhealthy and miserable. Have fun denying what I've just said, you're the only one convinced by your lies. The rest of us know it's just a bad case of tallpoppy syndrome, and we pity you.

As much as I'd like to have muscle's n' all that (which I will start on when I get to College) - Could I start weightlifiting with flab on me? Will it come out muscularly bulky? Being skinny would be nice, but then I'd had to stick all the mass back on again if I lose it all. I don't mind not being defined. Plus, I need the bulk for Rugby!

You can't turn fat into muscle.
-
So, I have to start weightlifting from a skinny prick? Or I lose all the fight while weight lifting?
-
Well considering you need to eat a caloric surplus to gain any real mass, trying to lose weight while gaining muscle is counterproductive. I'd say start lifting at a fairly light pace and eat less claories than maintenace for a couple of months. You'll lose fat and gain strength. Not so much mass, but you can start a clean bulk once you're skinnier.

I'm not too clued up on how to bodybuild when starting off fat but there are people in the fitness group who have done it to great effect. Check the groups on my profile, join and make a tread.
-
If you have high body fat you need to do more body weight exercise and cardio workouts. They burn the fat off and get the body ready for weightlifting. Once you're in a manageable shape then start small with weights.
-
If you're fat you should still lift, but at a caloric deficit rather than a surplus. You won't make a ton of strength or muscle gainz because you won't have the energy required, but you'll shred the fat as long as you eat less calories than you expend. Quality of the food matters too
-
In my experience that's how I started. Got my endurance and strength up and started eating right. Then I began lifting. Worked for me at least.
-
Just because it worked doesn't mean it's the best way to go about it
