I'm 22, male, 5'7' and about 175 pounds. I've been going to the gym for about a year trying to lose weight and I can see improvements (bigger muscles, weight more from muscle than fat, unlike a year ago)
my current goals are upper-body definition (or strength, I'm undecided), lower body endurance and a six-pack would be nice.
I'm trying to eat around 2000 calories a day and lots of meat (but it's not easy, some days I'm probably approaching 3000 calories, mostly carbs. I know I'm not losing weight at 3000, but am I gaining or just maintaining current fat level?).
I'm also planning on going to the gym 5 times a week to do cardio for an hour (used to do half an hour 3 times a week), and 3 times a week for muscle workouts.
right now I'm doing 2 or 3 sets of: chinups, lat pull-down, upper back (pulling weights, using a machine whose name I don't remember), dumbell chest press, military press, shoulder side raises, dumbell triceps extension (on my back, on a bench), triceps pushdown using machine, biceps curls, calfs using machine, leg press, in that order. I'm planning on changing from legpress to squats in the near future.
anything else I can do to achieve my goals faster/better? anything I should change?
