Since having joined a gym ~7 months ago I've noticed some positive results - more defined muscles, more strength and improved fitness.
However, the one thing that just doesn't seem to shift significantly is my weight.
Currently I stand at 5' 11" and weight circa 60kgs. Sometimes it hovers a little above or below.
I'm not sure whether it's due to my diet or exercise regimen so I was wondering if someone could take a look and see where I might be able to improve some areas.
I'll start with my diet information and then with my workout.
Breakfast:
-1 Coffee & 1 squash
-Large bowl of cornflakes
Lunch:
-Sandwich (usually all-day breakfast or chicken & stuffing)
-Bag of crisps
-Drink
I don't do lunch very often though due to work.
Dinner:
-Microwave cooked mixed vegetables
-2 grilled beefburgers
-Portion of oven-cooked chips
-Breaded fillet fish/steak pie (alternating days)
Accounting for snacks between meals and assuming the websites I've been using have valid information then I estimate my daily calorie intake at somewhere between 2100-2450.
I workout 3 times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's the same routine every day but sometimes I'll vary depending on how busy certain pieces of equipment are.
-Stretches
-2's and 20's decreasing from 20kg
-Treadmill run approx. 2.5km in 11 minutes.
-6 sets of 6 reps of shoulder presses at 29kg.
-6x6 leg presses at 86kg.
-6x6 chest presses at 47kg.
-6x6 twist sit-ups weighted with 10kg.
-6x6 seated rows at 41kg
-6x6 bench presses at 25, 30 and 32.5kg.
Sometime I'll throw in some chin-ups or squats to mix it up a little.
I don't take any supplements or enhancements. It's all diet and water.
I'd appreciate any insights.
