    I will let the others chime in on the program but regards diet - it's not that optimal tbh.

    where's the protein?veg?fruit? ditch the roasted peanuts for plain unroasted unsalted ones like almonds, brazils, pine etc.

    Shredded wheat is grand cereal wise so good choice there. throw in a bit of fruit maybe like blueberries etc and some cottage cheese for protein?

    You need protein - eggs, fish , cottage cheese for example.
    What do you have with the spagetti ? maybe one day have lean meat like chicken or tuna/salmon with lotsa veg

    are the beans tinned? generally the sauce is full of sugar but you could always rinse the beans from the sauce.

    toast - 4 slices? white bread or wholemeal?

    In short - up the protein and healthy fats. for snacks throw in ryvita with nut butters for example, some cottage cheese and unsalted and unroasted nuts. You need VEG!!!! throw it in woth your spagetti. get some lean meats/fosh in their aswell.

    Thanks in advance guys

    With regard to the actual workout you should split up your exercises. For the most part unless you are trying to pre-fatigue a muscle group you should group your exercises like this

    LARGE MUSCLE GROUPS- Squat (Legs), Bench press (Chest) and Pullups
    (Back)

    SMALLER MUSCLE GROUPS- Calf raise, Lat raise, triceps, bicep etc

    Just change your order like so with breaks in between your leg exercises as well

    Leg Press
    Bench press
    Lat Pulldowns
    Leg Curls
    DB overhead
    Leg Extensions
    Rope pushdowns
    Standing calf raise

    Hope this helps :pac:

    Google is your friend!

    It's a grain but it has the most protein of all the grains

    Rice would generally have around 7% protein whereas quinoa is around 16%.

    You can get it in pretty much any supermarket and health shop and you can cook it like you would rice/pasta - in boiling water.
