After joining this site this week i think ive learnt more than i have done in the last 2-3 years!

Ive been going to the gym on and off for the last 2-3 years, after joining this site this week ive decided that im now ready to knuckle down and give it a proper go. im going to work out a training and eating plan based around the stuff that i learn on here and hopefully a few month down the line i will beable to record some improvements.

I currently weigh 16st (6ft tall) with a certain degree of shape but nothing impressive! i have a bit of fat on me, mainly around my thighs, stomach and buttocks which i would like to lose, im currently comfortable doing 3 sets of ten reps of the bench press with 70kg. i dont have any info on deadlift, squats etc. as i havnt even attempted them before

I go to the gym at half 6 on a morning (straight after work!) gonna start off with a basic routine of-

mon- legs and cycling
tue- chest, shoulders and triceps
wed- back and biceps
thur- legs and cycling
fri- chest, shoulders and triceps
sat- back and biceps

Obviously as with anything else people will have opinions on this routine (which are welcome!) but it is just to start off with and i will alter it as i learn new stuff.

Im going to aim for 5-6 meals per day and will amend the calorie, protein, carb and fat content of these as i move forward.

A typical day of mine will resemble something like this but obviously with variations in types of food-

16:30- wake up
eggs or tin of mackerel on 2 slices of wholemeal toast

19:00- fish, chicken or steak with 2 ptns of veg (usually broccoli)

20:00 or 21:00- go to work

23:30- 2 pcs of fruit and a yoghurt

01:30- tuna and cucumber sandwich and 3 tomatoes

04:30- tuna and cucumber sandwich

06:30- gym

07:45- have a protein shake, relax and (hopefully!) get to sleep for 08:30

I also take a multivitamin as i understand this is important. ive been looking at a supplement called tribulus, i dont know much about it but would anyone recommend it and would it benefit me?

Going to post a starting picture up at the weekend.

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve.
