My routine needs help

Saidin · 03-19-2008, 11:47 AM

Ok I posted a thread a few weeks back here , and I appreciated the responses. Since then I have refined my routine, and even started hitting the gym daily. What I am asking for here is comments on how this can improve, and a basic sketch( if possible ) of how long it could take to finally look decent. I have been doing this for ~3 weeks now, and nothing has come off the scale, and I can't realize a huge difference to be honest.
Some random info
I am 16 and I weigh 165 as(5'7) of March 19, 2008.
I run a mile at 8:40 ( was at 9:30 )
max bench was 205

Morning
Roll out of bed at around 7 AM
I eat some sort of fruit in the morning ( plums/apple/orange) and I have a glass of milk. I also am taking a fish oil cap thing that I bought. No clue what it does, just something with some nutrient I need.

Lunch
12:30 Pm
I eat a pretzel/drink a 16 fl. oz of water... My school has very shitty lunches, and this is the best I could come up with to be honest. Fried veggies/tacos or pizza are the only other options.

Gym-
3:00 Pm
*I do my workout in this order
*1 mile run
*1 mile walk
*lower ab machine ( 3 reps of 10 )
* 50 sit ups on that bench where I am on my back with my feet secured on this bar
* Pull up machine ( 3 reps of 10 with 130 lbs )
* Machine where I push outward to exercise my chest
* hand weights I do 5 reps of 10 with a 35 pound weight
* hand weights I do 10 reps of 10 with a 20 pound rep with my wrists to work out my forearm
* Hammer press ( 3 reps of 10 with 125 lbs )
* Quadriceps machine ( upper thigh ) 3 reps of 10 ( 160 lbs )
* Tricep machine ( 6 reps of 10 130 lbs ) ... I can do a lot more than this, but gravity of course has an issue with me doing it. I always lift off the ground when doing this machine and there is no belt to hold me down. So I tend to just try to overwork my triceps for this one.

During the workout I usually have another 16 fl oz bottle of work. All in all it takes about an hour to do the whole routine.

4:30 I usually have a turkey sandwich ( how do you spell it ) with a lot of turkey and little bread. A little bit of mayo . I swap between this and a tuna sandwhich. A glass of milk as well.

7:30 is dinner ... Always random, but I never eat the full plate because usually it is high calorie food . I can't complain that much though, I didn't make it. I will usually just pick up some fruit/water and suck it up.

10:30 I usually go to bed. Strenuous classes that make me always wish I had more sleep once I get into them.

Try eating more That will help big time bro. Get your diet together then worry about your routine later. What is your goal?

My goal is to lose weight/gain muscle and be able to run a 6 minute mile by July. I am joining the Army in January, and I will have 11x Option 40 in my contract ( Army Ranger ) . The RIP/Ranger School training is rigorous, and I am determined to get in shape to get there. I have 10 months or so until I enlist, but I am not looking to meet the bare minimums for passing their school. The sooner that I get in shape, the stronger I will be for Basic training/Rip/Ranger School.

I appreciate the response, but I am curious as to what you mean by eating more ? I was told to eat Less/drink more water from another guy, and just suck it up until your body is in shape, and you are able to let the muscle burn the calories from when you want to slack a little bit every now and then. I am not saying you are wrong, but I am interested in how it would help. Eating more obviously is more fun than eating little.

eating more lean protiens will help increase your muscle mass. also if you want to gain weight you need to be in a calorie excess. if you are wanting to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. you should try bulking for a bit then cut. i think that will get you were you want to be.

Eating to little is not good for you.What you stated is not enough for someone who is trying to get in shape by lifting and running a lot. Your body needs clean calories to grow. You said yourself you don't see any results so something is not right.
