I just rejoined my gym yesterday after about a year and a half (went travelling). So just 3 questions, what particular weights should I be lifting, what should I be eating daily and what suppliments would you recommend. My ideal weight I wat to be is 12 stone. Any help would be really appreciated.

You're pretty much the exact same stats as me (23, 5ft10, 9.9stone) so might some useful info here:

Mainly compound lifts, high weight low reps. If you're doing say more than 12-15 reps you should be adding more weight (generally speaking).

Sort out your diet first before worrying about supplements but once you have it sorted, Start with a good protein (True Whey), multivitamin (Alpha Men) and omega3. I get all mine from myprotein (see sig). I also use a Recovery XS drink after a heavy workout which is a mix of carbs/protein/creatine and other nice things to help you recover quicker.

Read the stickies in this forum for the basics on diet/nutrition/supplements

Have a read through this http://startingstrength.wikia.com.

Personally I would recommend no supplements apart from some fish oils and a multivitamin. At your weight you really just need to eat more.

Your biggest problem will be gaining weight. For the first few months don't worry too much about eating the right food - just get used to eating a lot of food. Try to eat high protein meals rather than high carb meals e.g have a couple of eggs instead of a bag of doritos.
