Congrats man! I'm jealous. I'm working on security+ and A+ right now. I'll be studying for my CCNA soon.

Try Rippetoe Starting Strength. It's a great program that will help you learn all the compound lifts. Rememeber the key to gaining size is always in the diet.

Looks pretty solid. Have you calculated the macros for these foods? Try going to a website like fitday or livestrong (google them) and input those foods into a nutrition log available on those websites. The nutrition log will automatically calculate your protein/carbs/fats to make sure you...

Don't worry your arms will catch up. Try doing some compound exercises to get your strength up (bench press, squats, deadlifts, military press ect..) By doing these your arms will have no choice but to grow because of the heavier lifting. Just know you don't have to work your arms directly for...

Err Bill Star or Rippetoe's...

Do you start your car in cold weather and take right off? It doesn't run as well as if you would have warmed it up. Same goes for your body.
