First, allow me to introduce myself! It's a pleasure to be a new member to these boards! I've been lurking for a while and the information shared here has helped me out greatly. I need a little customized help now though...
I'm around 5'8 and 182 pounds on a broad frame. I've got muscle but nothing to write home about. My problem is flab...the BANE of my existence!! My problem areas are my tummy, pecks, and love handles...ugh.
My goal is not to become jacked or to end up looking like some muscle-bound Greek god; rather I just want to loose the flab and gain some nice respectable definition. In other words, I want to look good naked. You really can't explain it any better than that!
My roommate was gracious enough to put together a customized workout plan (pasted below) for me which I've been following fairly religiously. My campus just built a new $14 million dollar gym facility over the summer so I have everything I need right at my fingertips. My girlfriend goes with me too so it makes it really easy to keep going Once or twice a week after my workout I also go swimming in the pool for an hour…sometimes a little longer. I’m not doing laps or anything, just some water basketball and stuff like that..
I've been seeing results but they have just been "ho-hum". My eating habits admittedly aren't that great but I try to choose healthiER foods most of the time. I'm noticing less flab in the mirror and more muscle weight on the scale but I still need some help. Namely, my diet...
Can you, the experts of elitefitness.com help me out?? What should I eat?? When should I eat it?! Supplements...yes/no/maybe so?? Any hints, tips, tricks, suggestions, or plans are welcome and greatly appreciated! Please feel free to comment on anything! I submit myself to your scrutiny and molding!!
Here's my workout plan as it stands:
