really just trying to lose that flab on my lower stomach and make my abs be a bit more visible...i'd like to pump up the chest/shoulders/and arms too.
i'm pretty content with how i look. i would be happy with a bit more size...but with the amount of running i do because of my sport, i feel it's almost impossible/a very hard goal to attain. i would have to eat a RIDICULOUS amount of food. i play soccer 3x a week, so all those calories i consume are done in vain...they get burned away.

I tried going very low carb for cutting purposes this last week but that cause my workouts to not be as good as I would like. Possible to cut while going moderate carb?? like 150g?
Diet was:
1st meal: 1 scoop of protein
2nd meal: 8 egg whites (from carton) with 3-4 strips of turkey bacon
3rd: 2 scoops of whey
4th: 30- 45 min before workouts 1 scoop whey, 2 wheat waffles with a tbsp of natural PB on each plus 240mg of caffeine with Slingshot preworkout
5th: 2 scoops of whey and an oz of almonds
6th: 6-8 oz chicken breast with brocoli or spinach salad
7th: 8-9 oz if lean fish with brocoli
Going to sub 1 cup of oatmeal for the turkey bacon and have 2 whole eggs with 6 egg whites
Anymore suggestions???

Oh, is it pic time?
Well, maybe this will be a source of motivation for any ectos in the house
November 1, 2009 - 150lbs
Day 1 of working out (and this thread)
November 1, 2010 - 165lbs
Starting to learn a lot about working out but spent at least 80% of the past year wasting my time with body builder routines and broscience
December 30, 2010 - 180lbs
Learned the importance of perfect form, slow, full range of motion COMPOUND exercises. Started a strength training and really began eating like a man, thanks to advice from this thread.
January 7, 2011 - 175lbs
Did a week of cardio+lower cals+intermittent fasting just to lean out and see if I still had abs kickin around
Four more month of strength training until I *should* reach some strength goals, then it's back to more interesting workouts like PLYO and @%+%. Maybe reduce cals for beach weather.

..bro....
I did your typical five day split for a year and as you can see, found minimal progress.
No point in doing exercises for the 8-10 rep range when the weights you push are mad low.... the higher the weights the more stress on your muscle.
So I said #%*% it... I'm gonna gain strength for a year.. then it will be economic to go in and do "a body part a day" i.e. chest on monday backon tuesday etc.
Been doing "5/3/1" for three months.
Feels good man... four days a week and workout are 1 main lift with a ramp up of weights to a top weight of either 5 rep 3 rep or 1 rep, and then 5x10 of two assistance exercises. assistance meaning assisting the progress of the main lift. Deadlift, military press, bench, squat
I REALLY suggest it.

That sounds pretty good actually, I get the basic gist of what you're saying but I'm not a lifting expert and need specific instructions. I don't mean to sound stupid or be annoying but I'm no good at coming up with routines on my own. I wouldn't call myself a beginner but I'm definitely no expert. So if you could possibly PM me a suggested routine for each day or something it'd be extremely appreciated, maybe even the one you used. I dunno if you saw what I posted earlier but I haven't worked out in 4 months because I had mono and am pretty much starting over now. I didn't get as much progress as I would have liked in about the 9 month span that I lifted multiple times a week, so I'm trying to get a good routine that'll really help me.
Again I don't mean to be annoying by asking for a specific routine but I'm hoping you'll understand, just trying to get a good workout.

Long +#! read.. but it gives you all of the information.
Get the e-book and read that, then you can find a spreadsheet online that will calculate your reps to use for each workout.
If you're serious about gains, this is one of the best ways to get there imo
