Advice Would be Great

[beaverpatrol005]

I just started lifting again after a year of stupidity and lazyness....im young...freshman in college...but i promise im not any of your good friends from the idiots thread. Ha.
Im 6'0 ..probably really 5'11" but i like to say 6' and about 215. I just started doing a routine that made sence to me. Im trying to cut this gut that ive accumulated and build my muscles back up to get to that tone body before i start putting on some mass. I've been doing this for about a month so far and i am seeing improvement in my legs, chest, and arms but i would like alittle bit more improvement as we all would. I figure some of you guys could give me alittle bit of advice.

Ive been doing sets of 1x12 1x10 and 1x8 with each exercise using more weight each time.

I'll the the guys take the weights ...

I am more concerned with what you are putting in your mouth since Diet is VERY important & the main goal looks like Fat loss here ...

What specifically are you eating & how often? Can you provide a basic breakdown ?

stick around these boards for awhile.. and you'll realise that NO ONE does all those exercise that u just listed.. maybe 10% of them.. i.e. squats, military, bench, bent row and deads.. these are the things u should be doing ONLY.. and some supplement stuff would be chins, hypers, pull ups, and dips..

My first bit of advice would be to read everything you can find on this link: http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/table_of_contents_thread.htm

I am not trying to convert you to the workout plan, but I am saying try it for about 3 months, while taking your diet into serious consideration. As you said, you are young. I may be wrong, but I'll bet there are a handful of guys on this board, my age (32) and older, who would have seriously contemplated giving up a small toe to have this information at your age. Perhaps more importantly, your benefit will be the possession of the personal experience and knowledge about how your body works and responds from such a program. The program teaches fundamental training theory that can be applied for the rest of your life, if you'll take the time to study it and understand it. Eventually, you'll move away from it and design your own programs that are even more goal-specific, but the characteristics of the program will remain.

Parts of your program are good, and parts of it are bad, to be blunt. I'll add that I've seen a whole lot worse. Consider what I wrote, read everything in the link I gave, and come back with more questions...

wow that is going to take your forever to do
you should focus more on putting your energy into a few
good compound lifting exercises per day
and as you get into the hang of doing it
switch it around to your like'n

but wow i do 3 exercises/day with another person and it takes us well over an hour
but you need some rest between sets when sticking about 90% from 1rm
im sure im not the best advice but what ive explained works for me

good luck though
im sure if you actualy do that routine you will get gains
but wow i think your loading yourself up too much there
