Hey guys. I'm Matt, I just turned 20 years old and I'm about 6'1 and 165 lbs. I've discovered I have nothing to do after work so I got a gym membership and for the past month I've been using it quite a bit. Problem is I really don't know what I'm doing on any level, so I'm probably making attaining my goals a lot more difficult than it needs to be. I've always felt like a skinny guy and want to bulk up a little bit and tone up my body. I don't really want to become a big muscle jock or anything, because I like the slim toned guy look. But I do feel like I need to get bigger in places and really define my body. Here are some pics (I didn't want to put them into the post because they were too big):
CHEST & ABS:
I'm looking to enhance my chest, there's really not much there. And I'd like to get tight, visible, cut abs.
BACK:
My back is just really...plain. I'd like to give it some definition, there's nothing really there.
ARMS:
I would like my arms and shoulders (biceps, triceps, forearms and delts) to get bigger and definitely become really tight and toned.
LEGS:
Legs...I really don't know what I want to do with them. You might think they're small but I sort of like the slim look? I wouldn't mind pumping them up a little bit. Mainly I want to get my calfs a lot bigger, but otherwise I've been toning (especially my hamstrings and to a larger extent my glutes).
So here's what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks:
Monday: Weight Training - Chest, back, quads, hamstrings, abs. Two different kinds of exercises each, and with each exercise I do 3 sets 8 reps each with a challenging weight. For the abs I just do two different kind of ab exercises, 3 sets of 15 reps each.
Tuesday: 45 minutes of biking
Wednesday: Weight Training - Biceps, Triceps, Glutes, Calfs, Obliques, Lower Abs. For the arms and legs I do two different exercises, 3x15. Abs same as abs above.
Thursday: Swimming (about 600 m)
Friday : Same as Monday (weight lifting)
Saturday: Same as Tuesday (Biking)
....
And then it just continues in that kind of pattern. As far as food goes...I think I'm eating enough? Or atleast the right food? I don't know how much I should be eating or what kinds of food, but I try and eat a lot of protein and carb-rich grains.
