I've recently started the gym - I go everyday after the school i'm doing cardio and strength work outs. I'm burning like 400+ cals every time I'm there.

When I'm finish at the gym, is it important for me to eat straight away?

I also have my own dumbbells which i use at home after, when I'm done at the gym. (I can't believe I'm saying this i sound weak) i'm using 2.5kg on each dumbbell - How long do you think it will be before i see a significant difference? (Providing I'm using them all the time) How long should i be using them? Per session/everyday w.e

Everyday after school? The important thing is to get rest when you go gym. You should do one day gym one day rest for your muscles to recover and work properly the next day and you need atleast 8 hours sleep. The whole eating thing is not that important aslong as it's healthy food but i suggest you eat before going to the gym, it's what i do and after i finish from gym i take promax to help my muscles recover and also build the muscle up quicker. Also the dumbells you have at home are useless if you go gym for the next few weeks you need progressing dumbells keep going for the harder ones. And regarding to your question how long it would take till you see a difference is 3 months the least.

The whole eating thing is not that important..

***?!

I'd ignore all the posts in this thread bar Wig44's. If you're wanting to 'get bigger' then follow the Stronglifts 5x5 programme with a good quality diet - ideally consuming around 3,000 calories (... and thats 'good' calories from whole foods etc, a 800cal meal from McDonalds won't do any good!) a day depending on your weight/height.

It's also important to realise that you won't be seeing any drastic results for a good few months at least so stick with it.

Btw, do you cardio after you've been in the weights room, not before.

Well.. what do you want to achieve?

Your not going to gain any noticeable mass lifting 2.5kg dumbells.. and I doubt you eat enough
