About to start working out again, lost almost 10kg (or 22 pounds for all you filthy americans) of muscle since june, that will make it over 8 months without any exercise, hopefully i'll be able to gain at least 10 pounds in the next month 
man the whole fuck bread/pasta gestalt is rubbish, carbs are just your body's energy, like petrol in a car
assuming you want to look ripped all you need to do is eat lean protein(low in fat) and healthy carbs, like rice or pasta, just make sure you're eating the good stuff and not a bar of chocolate to get your calories up. you definitely need to be eating in a calorie surplus, but get that surplus by eating the healthy stuff rather than doughnuts or chocolate
calculate your TDEE, eat around 300 calories above that daily. it'll be a pain at first tracking how many calories you're eating, but it becomes second nature after a while.
tldr: lean protein, healthy carbs, natural fats, 300 calorie surplus, bodyweight exercises
as I came to the end of my barbell lunges and reracked the bar my inner thighs gave in and cramped on a level that is, very likely, not terrestrial
good god i was sat on the squat rack for a good 10 minutes almost screaming, but we got leg day done boys

I’m no expert bro but I say just try and avoid anything that humans weren’t naturally designed to consume. So pretty much just meat, fish, fruit and veg.
what's your guys' workout split? mines:
Chest & Triceps
Back & Biceps
Legs & Shoulders
Repeat

if you avoid machines and focus on compound movements you can write abs and forearms out of your workouts completely and free up room for more stuff
you lost a neb for skipping leg day :mad:

Not a big fan of training legs, my max on leg press is 115kg, but i can barely do 5 squats with a loaded 30kg bar

Take the weights off the bar and aim for that 1-5 rep range to increase strength, for ex I do 80% of my 1RM for 3 sets of 3 to increase strength
I've put a self imposed ban in place on using machines, I use solely freeweights and focus on compound movements and the progress you make it enormous. Give it a go mayne
just take a moment to look at my man eddie's calves
i too am blessed with good calves but this guy's got all out diamond cutters

A healthy mix of 25% fat (or lower), 25% protein and 50% carbs. Don't buy into the more protein than carbs meme unless you wanna end up noodle armed and noodle dicked my man

I can't split everything up bc I only have access to weights at very specific times of the week, often late at night.
And vary the exercises up dependent on how I'm feeling, especially the last 2
I rest a lot between exercises and for running I usually keep a specific pace except for long runs. Base building period fml
