    What do you think of my workout routine? May need balancing.. advice would be good?

    I am gonna include more exercises for legs but just wondering if there's anything you'd change?

    I wanna have a body like christian bale in american pyscho/batman.

    On a cut at the moment, eating lots of healthy food, oatmeal, protein, fish chicken, fruit, beans, no bad stuff basically!

    Wow that's a mess!

    You obviously don't have the knowledge/experiance to make your own routine so pick a proven one to follow

    Any in particular you would recommend? Thank you.

    Been training around 6 months now, 3 months properly, I only recently adjusted my workout though. Lost around 3 stone since I started and feel a lot stronger than before (just not as strong as i expected)
    I wanted to do chest twice to make it grow, but in effect i've added way too much, and over working muscles so I'm probably looking at something with more of a compound base. With a few isolation exercises.
    So difficult to find what's right :|

    do you really think you will look good if you weigh 140lbs? your just skinny fat, if you cut youll just be skinny....

    bulk focus on gaining strength, eat to gain size and youll fill your body out and wont look skinny fat anymore...

    So, your advice is, start a strngth program, eat around 200 calories above my maintenance and bulk up? I don't want the fat to come back... See I thought I could cut down a bit more for a few weeks then do the bulking? I'm really not sure whether to do either now haha

    OP this sport is a marathon, not a sprint. Gaining muscle takes a significant amount of time. With that said, as was stated before you should bulk now and cut off all of the fat later. Fill out with a little muscle first so that when you do cut, you wont be a skinny ******* but youll have a decent amount of muscle and youll look good. There are some great beginner routines on this site and a great amount of knowledge about nutrition as well! Take advantage of it. You'll make the best gains of your life right now in the beginner stage so follow the advice you get on this site to the T and I guarantee you'll be happy in the end! If you have any questions, dont be afraid to ask. Most of the people on this site are super friendly!
    I rep back :) (measly reps)

    Goals: SIZE
    Bench: 295lbs
    Squat: 450lbs
    Deadlift: 500lbs

    If you don't squat, then you're not working out.

    Haha yeah, I'm never in this for quick results, infact, exercising and gym has brought such a great change in my life I don't think I ever want to stop. It's just finding the right path to go down now! Some say cut, other don't XD.
    I don't mind being a bit skinny to be honest as I have got a bit of muscle, but atm I'm eating so healthily I might as well keep it up for a few more weeks?
    Also I need a squat rack, I workout at home on a bit of budget.
    Would this be worth getting or will I outgrow it within say 6 months or something stupid and be better of spending more money?
    It's the maxi muscle squat stand (can't post links yet )

    thanks all!

    you dont need all that accessory work for A you do rows and pullups those will workout your biceps and forearms shrugs should also give your foreamrms some work, i would drop the forearm curls

    i would do romanian deadlifts in workout B maybe insteads of deadlifts for like 3x5 (or alternate each week) as well as shoulder press 3x5 instead of lateral raises...

    my program i try to run 5 compounds (3 5x5 2 3x5) 2 accessory (2or3x8) and 1 high rep (shrugs calves read delt flyes)

    Thanks for your advice man.. I've taken forearms out and just left myself with bicep curls and pull ups as the extra accessories
    Did the routine today, toughest workout in the gym I've done for a long time (probably due to squats) :P

    Bro if you've got a long term attitude, forget fat. Forget that it exists. Pretend every kg is a kg of muscle. When you start lifting for real and you get those massive shoulders and quads no one is goina give a chit about the fact that your abs arent 100% visible. They're goina be more concerned that you'll accidently push them over. You look young, so fat is goina melt off you once you got some serious size anyway.

    With that said, don't eat stuff that doesnt have any nutritional value.. just munch back on the good foods alllll dayyy long. Hit that 200g a day of protein.

    Also forget accessories!!11

    Get in Squats, Deadlifts, Bench & overhead press. Everything else will fall into place.

    Make sure you get deep enough in the squats. No one likes a quarter squatter!
