Cheers for the tips. I am being trained by my Dads mate, who is a big man. He has all his training certificates, and he trains me for free. I might even have the triceps and biceps mixed up, I don't know which is which, Ha.
I have one protein drink a day, CNP Mass, and I take it before I train. I might start taking it when I finish instead.

No Paul's right 20 odd sets on 1 muscle group is way OTT.I do 3 sets of 3 excercises per muscle group so thats 9 sets in total starting with 14 reps then 10 reps then 6/8 upping the weight each set
protein MUST be consumed 45 mins after working out so if only having 1 drink per day have it after workout NOT before.Have a bannana 30 mins before workout aswell as it has nice long lasting carbs and will keep energy levels up
I seriously think you need someone else to train with as read a few posts about your training diet etc and to me its all fucked up with far too much excercise and too much carbs if trying to loose weight.You need protein,protein,protein to maintain muscle and as little carbs as possible so the body starts to use fat for energy instead of carbs.Cardio is best done in morning upon wakening and on empty stomach and done for atleast 40mins as first 20 mins burns previous days carbs intake before body starts to burn fat
Hope this helps a bit
