This is where I'm at right now..or where I was last week. I got sick this week and haven't hardly left my apt. I expect I will have lost a little bit of strength and weight from being sick and not eating well or exercising. Please let me know what you think of the diet/workout plan. I'm going to start stretching and working on my lower back..and I hope to eventually incorporate my lower body into the workout on Tue/Thur. This is my own workout that I made up. I've been looking at some of the other training methods, but I haven't decided on anything yet. I'm just not sure that I'm on the right track. I haven't been going up very much in weight. I'm 21, 155lbs, 5'9".

This is what I might have on a typical day. Breakfast stays the same every day. I mix up dinner and lunch some, but the nutritional value doesn't change much. I also take multi-vitamins and creatine pre-workout. I mix up the exercises some...this was last week's workout. I can get 195 up once on bench press, but I'd like to get up to 250 by May. And I want to weigh about 170 by May also. I have a semi-high metabolism, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get there.
