Ok everyone.
I am 19, 5'7" 145 lbs. I have the body type that is short and stocky. Metabolism is roughly in the medium range.
I have a benchpress with 120 lbs (which I know is not that much, but I can only do 100 max for very many reps anyway). Also, I have one of those all-in-one machines that has a pull-down bar, pull up bar, bench press, and butterfly, similar to this one:
I'd really love to get in shape. I've been reading a lot here on the forums, but I still have little knowlege about what is the best weight training routine, with the little equipment I have.
This is what I have so far:
Diet:
Eat 4 meals a day: Plenty of water and skim milk, eggs (without most of the yolks), wheat bread, chicken, and turkey(of course with other variety of things). Maybe try some Meso-tech Cookies and Cream protein bars?
Mon, Wens. Fri.:
I am going to follow this HIIT routine, to try to get rid of my belly fat, and increase cardio health:
On wieght lifting days(Tues, Thurs, Sat.):
For Warming up: Brisk Walk ~5 mins.; do 1 set 10 reps of 50% weight on major muscle groups; strech.
Insert weight routine here!!!!!
I know I should split up the major muscle groups over the three days. One of the bad things is that a lot of people talk about what exercises they are doing, but I don't know what they are referring to, nor do I know the proper way of doing it. Can you guys help me figure out a routine, or atleast show me a good website that gives excercises and there proper range of motion?
Also, I've read a little about creatine monohydrate, what do you guys think for a beginner?
Other notes about me: I don't really like fruit but I love chocolate. I'm not too big on the idea of protein shakes. I'm not sexually active, but I will be in 2~3 years.
I would love any advice about anything I've posted, or any other tips for a beginner!
