Yeah a basic routine that will give me good definition. Looking to go 4 times a week. The best way to that is thru diet aswell alot of chicken high protein so i believe?

OK cheers mate. Got no problem with altering my diet as long as it doesnt involve fish or eggs!

If you are naturally skinny and plan to do lots of cardio you will really struggle to put on size without eating stupid amounts of good quality food.

If you just want to tone up on top then a reasonable weights program along side the cardio should see some initial gains.

Be wary of overtraining from lack of sleep/food etc as doing too much will burn you out after a coupl eof weeks. Have at least a couple of days off a week.
