Below is a workout that was suggested I should try, the problem is I dont know what the particular exercises stand for, eg whats a FLAT BB? etc? If you could help with this it is much appreciated. the sites like menshealth.com contain some info on the exercises is it possible for u to relate the workout to there pics??

Also anyone got an example DIET which would contain enough protein etc to start me off? I think its very important I get this sorted out. As well as the gym which will be 4 times a week and football for an hour 2 times anything else needed?

I checked supplements and will be taking to start a protein drink (do you do this daily? even on days off) and a multi vitamin supplement. When should the protein supplement be taken as well? (its 20g of protein) Morning? B4 workout when?

BB = Barbell
DB = Dumbbell

You should consume 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.

The work-out looks fine.

Let's see a daily sample of what you currently eat.

It has nothing to do with a experienced person.

The reason you're not getting much for responses is because you're asking us to create a diet for you. Generally on forums like these we just answer questions and try to help. You're asking for us to be your personal trainers and give you custom diet & training plans.

Go into the diet forum and look around, you need to do a little work here and find the answers. Many diets have been posted and critiqued. If you want personal attention and a custom diet & training routine you should look into hring a PT.
