Im 17 years old, 5'8, 150-155 lb. depending when i measure, around 15-18% body fat. Ive been lifting for al ittle while, but i never really paid attention, i just did it to join in on my friends. for the past 6-7 months, ive been very diet concious, as i want to lose a little wieght and become lean, and i want to build some muscle. when i do workout ive noticed a difference in my arms, my biceps have goteen a teeny bit bigger and my triceps are def. noticable. I just want a defined body, it doesnt even matter if its well defined.
Some of my friends gave me the idea to lose weight, and work out so i keep the muscle i have, basically train for endurance. when i do work out, i do it so i feel "pumped" like my arms are about to pop and whatnot, and i watch what i eat. Could someone tell me what to do first, lose the fat, and build muscle, or is there a way i can build muscle and lose fat.
ive been on a kinda routine
Diet:
Egg whites, OJ, wheat bread -- breakfast
subway sandwich with water -- lunch
workout
fruit bowl -- for fruit intake
chicken salad -- dinner
i drink water throughout the day
and my workout:
1 day upper body
2 day lower body
1: bench press 10 reps, 3 sets; bicep curl 12 reps, 3 sets; tricep push downs 10 reps, 3 sets; and various other exercises like abs, back etc.
2: leg extensions, hamstring curls, calf bar raises etc.
i also do cardio every upper body day for 20-30 mins, doing the weight loss program on the machine
what should i change/do to my routine to get a little more lean/cut and get a little bigger?
