I am new to these forums and to weightlifting. While I have lifted casually for the past year, I know nothing about making constructive progress toward getting stronger and bigger.
The basics: I'm 18, male, 5'8", 150 pounds. My diet consists of whatever the college cafeteria has--in other words, junk. I make sure to drink lots of water, citrus juices, and milk throughout the day, but that's about all I do. I try to eat lots of protein. For lunch I always get a 6" roast beef sandwich, and for dinner I usually pick something with lots of protein. However, I doubt this is sufficient.
At the weight room, I know the various lifts, but I don't know how to integrate them into a useful plan.
I want to get stronger, but admittedly, I want to look better and not be considered "skinny" my whole life.
I have access to a weight room every Monday-Friday, and I can dedicate one hour per weekday to lift there. There's a track nearby as well.
I max out on the bench at 185 lbs. I have done squats up to 225 lbs, but I do not know my max.
I am very serious about getting this workout plan going and sticking to it. Can someone recommend a basic workout plan for me given these circumstances? What supplements should I be taking that would increase my lifting potential safely? I am willing to dedicate lots of money and effort into the limited time that I can work out if it brings great success.
