Thread: I greatly appreciate a critique

Hello everyone.

I have been reading a lot on ways to burn fat the fastest and the knowledge on this board seems incredible. I would like some input on what I am currently doing and hopefully tweak it to get the most benefits.

For starters here is a little bit about myself:
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 195
Bodytype: between Mesomorph and Endomorph

Goals: I want to trim all of my fat off and have a muscular physique. Not so much a Bodybuilder but more of a defined machine.

Right now I would consider myself chubby with a small amount of Lean muscle under the fat (but I'm improving visually). I have been doing workouts on Mondays and Wednesdays for about 6 weeks after not doing much training for the past 2 years. I also do High Intensity Interval Training on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have had sessions of 20 minutes to 40 minutes of rotating fast and slow.

I don't have a membership and I am limited to what I have at my house: Dumbells, Curl Bar, Lots of pushups.

I have been doing circuit type training on Mondays and Wednesdays:

Back:
Bent over rows
One arm rows
Deadlifts

Chest:
Push ups
Dips

Legs:
Lunges
Sprinting up hills with HIIT

Arms:
Skull crushers
Curls
Lateral Raises
Military Press

Abs:
Crunches

I usually go through this 2-3 times and I get a good full body workout. Should I break this up differently? Are there better exercises with my limited resources that I could be doing? Critique at will and I will greatly appreciate it.

Now onto my nutrition. This has been the biggest step for me so far and I am definitely seeing results and have gone from a 38 waist to a 35 in 3 months! I have switched to eating 5 meals a day with trying to eat mostly protein, moderate good fat, low carbs. I try to keep my sugar intake below 5 grams to none. This has been hard for me because I love candy.

From reading on this board, I have seen W8, Dr. Pain, Twin Peak and others critiqing others diets and tweeking them to be effective. They are the ones (and a lot of others on here) who really motivated me to start eating right to have results. That is what I am hoping for by posting this.

OK a typical day for me:

8:30am
1 slice Whole Wheat Bread with 1 TBSP of Natural Peanut butter
Protein Shake w/2 scoops (42 g protein) w/1 TBSP Flax Oil
Handful of Shredded Wheat and Bran

11 am
5 slices of Boars Head Roast Beef
1 serving of String Cheese
Handful of Shredded Wheat and Bran

2 pm
5 slices of Boars Head Turkey Breast
Handful of Unsalted Peanuts
Handful of Shredded Wheat and Bran

5pm
Protein Shake w/2 scoops (42 g protein) w/1 TBSP Flax Oil

WORKOUT AT 6

8 pm
6-8 ounces of Pork Tenderloin
Large salad (Romaine, Cucumbers, Carrots, Tomatoes, Paul Newmans dressing)
1 Granny Smith Apple

I am constantly drinking water throughout the day.

One of the main problems that I have is that I'm a picky eater.
Some of the things I see on other's diets but I don't eat and can't work into my diet (I know I'm weird) atmeal, Tuna, Rice, Sweet Potatoes.

OK. I really do appreciate ya'll looking this over and giving me your input and I really do want to tweek this so that I am getting maximum effectiveness from my nutrition and my training. I trust everything that I have read from most of you and look forward to learning the ropes of turning my body into a fat burning machine.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the help. The cereal that I am eating is Shredded Wheat & Bran. <1 gram of sugar per serving (I have seen ya'lls emphasis on NO SUGAR and I have adapted). The cheese is part skim milk mozzerella. I will try my hardest to start liking those good foods. I think for now I am going to continue with this and tweek it a little because I am getting results and loving it.

Rock on!

Good stuff...but FYI...that shredded wheat still acts as sugar in your body since it's a processed wheat product...so keep that in mind when you stall...it'll be a good thing to drop as part of a tweak.
