Yet another newbie :-)

Hi all, I'm Tony and I've finally decided, at the grand old age of 45, that it's about time I did something about my physique. Or lack of it !
So, the induction session at my nearest gym is booked for Tuesday 24th July, 2012 and I'll be starting in earnest after work the following day.
I'm spending most of my time researching suitable workouts and will probably be concentrating on compound exercises first to get the muscles used to doing some work for a change, then, much later, isolation for those muscles that need a little more work.
Deadlifts, squats and bench work seem to be the simplest for me to keep track of, rather than a myriad of muscle-specific exercises.
I'm stocking up on the eggs, chicken, tuna, brown rice etc and will be learning to cook as I go along as I'm sure I'll soon get bored with omelettes, porridge, tuna sandwiches and the like
Anyway, enough of my waffle, back to the diet research, and I hope to learn lots of useful tips, hints and general advice from you all. Not sure what I can offer back to the community except "blood, sweat and tears" (Hopefully not too much blood though ! lol)
