What should i do now?

[coles_07]

Hi

I'm new to this forum and to the gym lark as well.

I have been going to the gym 3/4 times a week working on different parts of the body each day using free weights and also the machines. As far as my cardio goes I haven't been able to do much in the past 14 weeks because I damaged one of the ligaments in my left ankle... this has resulted in my body fat % going up a little by 2%.

My diet is fairly good, with lots of pasta, fish (tuna) and chicken, but i still have the odd pizza/curry every now and then.

Age : 22
Height: 1.78m
Weight: 81kg
Body fat %: 16.5
Sports I play: field hockey, five-a-side football (Soccer) and golf.

My goal is to get more of a athletic look which is toned and ripped but not to big.

Have I got the right base to be able to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I'm making the assumption that toned and ripped equates to a six pack (feel free to correct me). If that's the case, you're really looking to cut your body fat down a good deal. 'Lots of pasta' is the first thing I'd get rid of. You can post your full diet and folks here can probably point you in the right direction.

Post up your workout and/or diet if you would like a critique there, just to make sure things are in check.

Hard to tell from the picture, but I think your body fat is less than 16%. 13 - 14% maybe?
