Hey Guys Please Help Me.

I Am Open To All Criticism.

I Am Looking For A Full Body Workout.
My Current Stats Are 6'3 315. My Bodyfat Has To Be Somewhere In The 20's.

I Am Looking To Lose Weight And Turn Some Fat Into Muscle.
My Goal Is 250 By Summer.

My Diet Is From Mr.x So I Believe I Am Set There.

Please Can Someone Give Me A Good Workout That Will Make Me See Some Results. I Am Not Looking For The Jumbo Strength Look Just A Nice Athletic Build. Thanks!
 
if your that big you prolly are already strong...i'd go for a diet with a good cardio routine....maybe some lifting thrown in but if i were you id focus on cardio.
 
I'd weight train and just do some cardio at the end. An intense weight training workout with 20-30 mins of cardio at the end will burn more calories than one that just focuses on cardio with a little weight training.

I would split my body parts into groups and attack one group each day. This will allow you to hit the gym quite a lot to keep those calories burning. A sample breakdown could go as follows:

Day 1
Quads
20-30 mins cardio

Day 2
Chest and calves
20-30 mins cardio

Day 3
Back and abs
20-30 mins cardio

Day 4
Shoulders
20-30 mins cardio

Day 5
Hamstrings and Traps
20-30 mins cardio

Day 6
Biceps, triceps, and forearms
20-30 mins cardio

Day 7
Rest

Breaking it down this way you can be in and out of the gym in about an hour. So instead of watching the 5 o'clock news after work, go to the gym. You can research exercises at Bodybuilding.com. But make sure you have good compound exercises in your routine such as:
-Bench press (Chest)
-Incline press(Chest)
-Squats(Legs)
-Deadlifts(back/legs)
-Barbell rows(Back)
-Military press(Shoulders)
-Dips(Chest)
-Pull-ups/Chin ups (Back). You may have to use the assisted dip/chin up machine at first but these exercises are well worth the effort. I like to do pull ups with a wide grip and my palms facing forward.

*Remember, compound exercises work more than just one body part. Barbell rows and bench presses work your arms as well as your back or chest that is why I have my Chest and Back exercises early in the week and my arms later.

*Pick 4 different exercises with 3 working sets for each body part. For the first two exercises focus on strength with lower reps (6-10) and higher weight (Compound exercises are great for this). For the second two exercises focus on higher reps (15-20) and lower weight. Don't forget to do warm up sets before lifting a ton of weight.

*Plus make sure you are getting plenty of protein in your diet (about 1-2 grams per pound of bodyweight). I would also suggest taking a glutamine and BCAA supplement. I think Beverly International makes the best products out but that's my opinion. You can buy whatever you want. I use the BI Glutamine Select with BCAAs. I take two scoops and drink it while I workout.

*Make sure you get 8+ hours of sleep.

This should get you started.
 
good advice. with all that info you put in there i thought you were at this site for awhile till i saw your post count. 8 posts and you know more than me. show off
 
I do more reading than posting on this site. There is a lot of great information so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. But really, a lot of the posts regarding training just re-state the same information over and over again meaning...we take something proven to work and make it so complicated by changing the basics. So just follow the basics and you will see results. Eat clean, lift heavy, sleep well, repeat. You do that and your appearance will improve. I've been lifting a few years now but whenever I do something I do it 100% effort or nothing at all.

I just started a 5x5 journal if you want to check it out. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=525817

It's my first run at a 5x5 program and I'm very happy with what I'm seeing so far and how I'm feeling.
