My routine needs help

Hey there

I am trying to win against the fun game of fat loss, and more

than once I have found it easier to just give up and pummel

the idiots picking on me, and more than once have I had some

momentarily delight in some busted lips/suspensions, but in

the end I have realized I must fix the problem. In 9 months I

have Army Basic training beginning, and shortly after I begin

my path for Ranger training, and in my current state, I

believe basic training would be damn near hell on earth. Don't

be decieved by what I am saying though, because my goal is not

to merely *pass* Boot camp/RIP ( ranger training ), but to

excel above my peers ( who have probably been in shape for

years ). As you can see my dilemma, I have 9 months to do it,

and even less time to bitch about it.

In 9th grade I was 5'5, and I was pushing 190 lbs with little

to no physical activity. I am now nearing the end of my 11th

grade and I am 5'7, 165 lbs. I wish that was some success, but

in reality there is almost no reason for me to have done it if

I am still fat in the end.

My current schedule

4:45 AM - Wake up, drink a glass of water, take one fish oil

cap and 2 Green Tea Fat Burner pilld by Applied Nutrition.
5:15 - Arrive at the gym

In the next hour I usually do cardio work...
Run 1 mile at usually 8:30 or so average, followed by some

stretching of my legs.
Afterwards I usually walk for the next 45 minutes at a steady

pace of 4.0 Mph , which for a short person is absolute hell,

but it needs to be done.

I usually leave the gym at 6:15 and my school day begins
Lunch = 11:45 and I will have a water and probably an apple.

I am at the gym every day after school too at 3:15 and stay

until 4:30.

My routine then is divided in 3 sets of 10 or 2 sets of 15 for

all of them. Sorry in advance for my lack of gym termonology,

but I'll describe them to the best of my ability...

1 mile run warm up

Tricep push- sitting down and pushing on the bars to the left

and right of me ( 170 lbs )

Ab machine - Sit down and push down/forward towards your knees

with both of your arms on the handle bar - 130 lbs

Leg press - 180 lbs

Leg machine - works out your thighs, I sit and push the bar up

with both of my legs in sitting position

Hammer press - 125 lbs

Chest machine - sitting down I push forward on two handles to

my L/R - 150 lbs

Pull up machine - I stand still and pull down the bar with the

tops of my wrists facing towards me , but because of gravity

it is a bit difficult to push it past 120 lbs before I start

pulling off of the ground too.

Bench weights - 5 sets of 10 with 35 lbs, and 5 sets of 10

with 20 lbs for my forearms.

chest machine - Pull up a rope and pull the item up to be

equal with your face -- 100 lbs

After reading that, I hope you have a grasp on what I am(not)

doing right(wrong?) . If you need anymore information let me

know.

Btw dinner is a bit rough to disclose because it is out of my

hands... though if you guys say it is better for consistency,

I can always eat a tuna sandwhich ( or suck it up and just eat

the can )...

On a daily basis I drink a lot of water, usually 5 16.9 fl oz

a day ( 84.5 ). The main problem I get though is hunger,

because I always like to nibble on something... I guess I just

need to put on some self control, but I am also pretty sure

I'm doing something wrong in my workout.

This is me without flexing

You are hungry because you aren't eating enough!! By dinner you've had what, 60 calories? You need to be eating much more during the day. There are quite a few stickies around here on nutrition, I suggest you take a look. As for the workout program, I'll let someone else answer that question. But there are many stickies on exercise around here too.
