Hi all , I am planning on starting a brand new workout routine next week , because I am now just trying to lose some body fat , which is 24% according to a body fat analyzer.

I am 18 years old , 5'11 , 195-200 pounds. BMR is 2650 calories a day . I have been working out with weights for a year , maybe more. I have not done much cardio at all within the past few years , That and me not eating enough calories a day may be the reason to my 25 pound gain in the past year or two. I altered my diet so that I eat 1800-2000 calories a day instead of 1100-1400 like I used too... so I can boost my metabolism back up

I just came up with this new routine , tell me what you think and please add all advice and tips , appreciate it

Monday-chest/triceps then 30 min cardio
Tuesday-30 min cardio then abs
Wednesday-Back/Biceps then 30 min cardio
Thursday-30 min cardio then abs
Friday-Legs/shoulders then 30 min cardio

On weekends , I'll do abs again
 
Sure looks good to me! You're on the right track. Why don't you post an example of your diet on a typical day to see if we can help with that as well.
 
Thanks for the reply , I decided to switch to a 5 day split , 1 muscle group each day then 30 min cardio.

My diet isn't the best but i'm working on it.

It usually goes like this:

6:00 am - wake up and shower
6:30 am - oatmeal and a boost energy drink ( google it , they have tons of vitamins and stuff also 10 grams protein. )
9:30 am - detour whey protein bar ( 370 calories , 30G protein )
12:30 PM - varies , mostly good food for the most part
3:30 PM - just tuna out of the can with 1 tsp of mayo and some fruit.
6:30 PM - same with my lunch routine ( it changes day by day , If I eat out , which I usually do , I order something decent )
10:00 PM - I eat a bowl of cereal or have something with some protein

please tell me if I really need to change something , also is cheese pizza bad to eat for lunch? even just 1 slice?
 
what level of lifter are you? If you are just starting. Go with a more compounded workout like your first with alot of compound lifts. Then work into a 5 day split. It works that way better for some people. So its your opinion. The isolation exercises are going to be alot harder to fatigue all muscles to the point of successful building. Just because they are really are advanced routines.

Thats just me.


Sincerely.
Wilhelm.
