    ye that break down should be fine just make sure you try and incorporate as many compound lifts as possible so squats, bench and dips on day 1 and deadlift, pull up, chins and say dumbell thrusters or standing military press on day2 , also try and do the rower after the weights

    just make sure your diet is decent so you make the most of your efforts in the gym

    cheers for that.does it matter where i fit lats in ??? never knew the rower is better after the weights.
    regarding my diet, it probably isnt the best, first of all i dont really have the chance to eat 6 meals a day.could probably manage 4. average day would be, porridge and honey for breakfast, lunch would be, actuivia yogurt with wholegrain sambo with maybe turkey cheese,sweetcorn,and lettuce. dinner could be anythin from lasagne to rice and chicken. i'd also eat 4 pieces of fruit and drink plenty of water. any easy ways of improving on this

    Lay out your plan in full with weights reps sets etc for a better reply

    e.g. leg press 12reps at 200lbs for 4 sets

    In terms of diet what supplements are you taking? Lay this out better also.
