What will be the best approach in my situation right now? I don't wish to lose more weight, so I feel it could be right to "make the building more solid" and have a better chance to make it even more solid when beginning exercising later. Instead of risking to make the building weaker by starting exercise right now, while I'm still not eating as much as I should...
I appreciate your advice, guys.  |
Gaining fat does not help you gain muscle later. The best you will likely do is gain some fat while putting on muscle. Ideally when you look in the mirror and you have love handles - stop the mass gaining and cut. DO NOT GET TOO FAT in your quest for mass gains. I'd hate to see you go the opposite direction of gaining useless weight on your person.
Learn to squat. Then squat. Eat like a bear. Carefully monitor your fat weight and body weight - ideally with calipers.
