I'm looking to switch things up for the new year and finally do an actual routine. For the past 1.5 years I've been doing the same type of routine, that pretty much looks like this:
Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Back, Abs
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Off
Friday - Arms, Abs
Saturday - Shoulders, Traps
Sunday - Off
I do 4-6 different exercises per day, and 3 sets each exercise. Usually 15 reps first set, then 12, then 10.
I'm looking to finally switch this up and do an actual proven routine. I'm looking for advice from bodybuilders (or at least someone in better shape than me, lol). I'm currently not taking any supplements at all, as I stopped feeling anything from the preworkout I was taking, and started thinking it was a waste of money. I do have a cup of coffee 20 minutes before doing to the gym though.
My diet is pretty alright I guess, here is an example of a normal day:
Meal 1 8:30am:
1/2 cup Oatmeal with 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter
1 scoop protein with 12 ounces of skim milk
16oz coffee with flavored creamer
Meal 2 12:00:
Taco Salad or Chicken Parm or Spaghetti with Meatballs (you get the idea)
Meal 3 3:30pm:
Pretty much another meal very similar to Meal 2
Meal 4 7:30pm:
95% of the time it's either Subway or Jrecks with a bag of sunchips and a serving of natural almonds
Meal 5 10:00pm:
1 scoop protein with water
I'd like to do whatever I can to get in as good of shape as possible, and would like to do a bb competition if I ever got to that point. I'm currently 29 years old, 5'11 and 192-195 lbs. My friends think I'm in really good shape, as do the guys in the gym, but I want to be bigger, so that I look big in clothes and not just the gym. What do you guys think? I know I'm asking for a lot of help, but I figured this would be a good place to start.
Here's the most recent pic I have. It's from a couple months ago, but I look exactly the same right now.
My skin is pretty thick, so I'm ready for any abuse you guys can come up with, LOL!
