Looking for some feedback.

Well lads, long time looker, first time poster..

Back in the gym after the summer off..And just looking for some input into my current workout plan..

Before I start I'm, 6' and currently 84kg, was 88kg when I started a few weeks back.

Monday
Biceps and Triceps

Tuesday
Shoulders and back

Wednesday
Chest and legs

Friday
Biceps and Triceps

Saturday
Shoulders and back

Sunday
Chest and legs

I then take Monday off, so usually its 3 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off.

I always do weights first and then 35-60mins of cardio, mainly bike, treadmill and stepper.

Diet has been changed, but there are some properly I don't eat veg, red meat and more than likely never will. Find it very very hard to start eating new foods, just something I can't do.

So now its

Breakfast
2weetabix

Mid-morning
Low fat yogurt

Lunch
Hot chicken in a brown roll with stuffing

Dinner
2 chicken Fillets and 2 scoops of mash

Night snack
Fruit and a yogurt

Snacks are normally fruit and a low fat yogurt.


Just wondering if anyone with some experience can give some input into my current workout.

Hey there,

If your main goal is to gain weight(muscle) it wont happen. You need to eat much more. A boy of age 3 would eat more than you for breakfast. you should have 3 weetabix and twqo yoghurts and a glass of milk.

My two goals are to gain muscle and lose body fat..

Note taken..Thanks!

Maybe it's Monday and I'm low on sleep but the program is beyond awful.

I take it you're a beginner, yes?

If so, you don't need, nor will optimise your adaptations, by following a body split program as above.

Your program should be based off compound, whole body movements - squat, deadlift, press, bench, pull ups, dips, (cleans, snatches, jerks).

Beyond any sort of calorific restriction your diet won't help you either, as it's too high in carbohydrate, and too low in fat and protein. So this means your body composition (ratio of fat to lean tissue) won't change much.

I have been seeing compound lifting mentioned a lot from coming on here.

Will properly start that next week...How often can it be done? 3 times a week?
