1. 23

2. Just started again but I began when I was 15.

3. Preworkout 45G protein, 60G carbs. Post, at least 30G protein right after and as for carbs I don't really count. I try to get at least 120G protein a day, but that's not enough since I'm 180lbs. I try to get a gram per pound but sometimes that's not always possible. As for fat and carbs, I don't count those, but I try not to overeat. I just try to make sure I get enough protein per day. Usually at least 30 grams per every 3 hours. Chicken, milk, protein bars and shakes. And I try to nap whenever I can (without interrupting my daily schedule).

I find that doing chest without doing tris is almost impossible (same with back and bis). It's always good to group the pushing muscles together and the pulling muscles together. I've gotten the best gains from that, plus it cleans up my routine. If I want to change things up I just substitute bent over rows with weighted pull ups, or dumb bell presses with bar presses. That sort of thing. It really helped when I was younger (not like I'm old now).
