    Cardio
    -5 mins on the rowing machine to warm up the muscles
    -20 mins on the bike about half way through my weights

    Weights
    -Chin ups
    -Dips
    -Leg raises
    -Bench press
    -Barbell curls
    -Arnold press
    -Deadlifts
    -Military press
    -Bicycle crunch
    -Bridges
    -Side crunchs

    I generally do 4 sets with the first one being 10 then 8 and 8 again then 6. With the crunches though I aim for bout 20 ,15, 12 and 10. I sometimes miss out on one or two of the weights because I just can't do anymore but thats mostly how it goes anyway. I used to do another 30 minutes on the cross trainer but heard this may be to much as I'm trying to build mass and stay lean and my body type is generally in the ectomorph region.

    My diet genrally looks like this
    -Breakfast: shreddies with super milk and toast.

    -Snack at about 11: bannana and apple

    -Lunch at around 2: Tuna on brown bread.

    -Dinner at 5: whatever the mother cooks usually some kind of lean meat with some potatoes and some veg mixed in. Not mad about the veg though!

    -Snack at 8 or 9: whatever I can grab generally something quick like a toasted bagel or something.

    Workouts generally look good, but your diet is very carb-heavy and light on protein and fat.

    Try replacing the shreddies and toast with porridge or eggs. Nuts might be better than fruit as a snack. Try having a tuna salad instead of sandwich. Bread is very high calorie and carb compared with the nutritional benefits. Meat and potato and veg is fine, but eat your veg. Toasted bagel is not a good supper, try a tub of cottage cheese instead.
