Here is the deal. I want to build the upper area of my body i.e. biceps,triceps, and abs. I also want to improve my back but I don't have any plans to do any exercises on that. I read on one site that benching helps the back too? But another told me that I need to do my back muscles to balance my weight distribution.
Now I am not obese or fat. I look to be average with full clothes on. However, on the beach, one can clearly tell I have fat on my abs and chest. Possibly my back too.
Recently, turning 18, I went out and bought hydroxycut, whey protein, and some weights to add on to my set. I plan on benching, doing curls, and using my ab rollers (no traditional abdominal exercise...been there, done that..too inefficient for me). I realize that I need to shed some fat before my muscles start showing and I don't plan on doing any aerobic exercises except for those that come along with the help of my dog. That is where hydroxycut comes in. I want to use that to lose fat.
Now the next point is that I want to gain muscle mass. I don't necessarily want to lose weight, just get definition. I am currently working out with weights and eating about 40g of protein per day from my whey protein supply along with whatever comes from other foods.
Not sure how many people have done this, but is this a good method. I really want to focus on looking good and being stronger. Lose fat and gain muscle is basically it. Any opinions? I've heard things on this forum like either one or the other. Won't this theoretically work/Isn't what I heard false?
In addition, I need help with my bicep curls. I find preacher curls fun to do (I cannot say the same for other types of curls). However, I want to do combination exercises to lower time spent. That is why I want to do hammer curls or standard curls. Which one is the most efficient one? I have heard various things.
