newbie training advice pleeeease!
Hi All,
I just stumbled across this section and just wanna say what a great part of the forum! plenty of useful info.
Basically just wondering if sumone with more experience than myself can have a quick scan at my training and diet routine below and give me some general advice on what else i can do to improve it. Ive been doing the below for approx 10 weeks now and had some success but not as much as i wished. I am trying to basically get fit and lose approx 2 stone (down to 12.5) whilst maintain muscle growth (or atleast maintain what i have already).
diet:
7am wheetabix or porridge oats
10:30am tea or coffee
12pm mixed fruit and low fat yogurt
2pm tea or coffee
4.30pm 2 chapattis with vegatable indian dish
6pm training
7pm whey protein shake with skimmed milk
8pm vegatable or sumtimes meat dish
training routine: (3 sets of 10,8,6 reps and an increase in weight for each set)
tuesday - barbell bench press, dumbell chest flies, ezbar tricep extension, bench dips (10x3), 20mins cross trainer
thursday - dumbell lateral raise, dumbell forward raise, dumbell shoulder press, 20mins cross trainer
saturday - barbell upright row, single arm dumbell row, concentration curl, barbell curl, 20mins cross trainer
i also fit in 10mins on the heavy bag occasionally after training when i still feel i have the energy.
Thanks inadvance
Amo
