hi, im trying to shred the fat around my waist, while also trying to get stronger and im a bit confused as to whats the best approach training wise. my diet is pretty clean but im a bit overwhelmed with regards to the info about training.
im a bit confused as to what type of training would be best for me? - cardio, caqrdio & weights, heavy weights, low reps, high reps e.t.c.
there seems to be a lot of contradicting info e.g - cardio being counter productive for muscle building and im left a bit confussed. i guess i just want some reasurrance that im not wasting my time with my current reigime.
im 25 years old,
weight 13stone
height 5.10
i do a 2 day split 3 sets of 10 of a weight im just able to lift 10 times-
i workout at a home gym so its mainly free weight work plus i have a stepping machine and rowing machine
workout A:
UPPER BODY 3 sets of 10 reps of everything
Bench Press
Flyes
Shrugs
Bent Over Dumbell Rows
Barbell Rows
Lateral Raises
Front Raises
Dumbell Curls or Barbell Curls
Concentration Curls
Tricep Extension
workout B: again 3 sets of 10 reps that i can just about lift 10 times
LOWER BODY
Rowing (Warm Up)
Squats
Straight Back Straigh Leg Deadlift (i think thats what its called!)
Leg Extensions
Leg Curls
I also play 5 a side football (soccer to you americans!) for 1 hour once or twice a week and go swimming on a weekend for about an hour and a half but its more of a relaxing thing rather than full-on lenghths!
im taking protein, creatine and sida cordifolia supplements
any advice would be great - iv seen some muscle size gains but im a bit worried that i might not be doing the right things to get rid of my belly!
i would be so gratefull for any advice
(forgot to say - i lift weights 6 times a week - 3 of each workout)
thank you
