hmmm…Id say see what happens if you imploy nutrient timing and eat your carbs post training…and keep record of what you eat and adjust calories as needed based on outcome of bi-weekly measurements. Also, workout more and smarter.
Why do you do 15 reps of each of the aforementioned exercises? Also, Im sure 3 of those sessions isn’t enough calorie burning time for a week. Amp up your routine…include a day of HIIT and a day of low intensity interval training.
Try to work up to 5 hours at least week. I bet you can get away with eating more once you establish this rate of exercise/per.
I won’t comment too much on the workout, since at 18 (and you seem new), any workout program works. Just get one from this site and stick to it.
Let’s say this though, the following are very fatiguing full body exercises.
clean and jerk
back squat
bench press
pull ups
dips
A proper circuit with all these exercises by itself would be down right brutal. You’re probably resting too much in between or using way too little weight. In either case, you’re not getting what you need from your workout sessions.
Diet:
-Eat more (I would say that’s 1600 cals you’re eating from a quick guesstimate?) You’re 200lb and 18, aim for 2000-2500.
-Eat less carbs unless you handle them well
-Eat more protein. Make your snacks 2 scoops and add some protein to breakfast.
-Eat more vegetables
well im not new to lifting im just new to lifting to these circuit training routines which I’ve been reading about and seem to be a good way to go to lose some body fat fast. and the routine i mentioned is very brutal i only take a 30 second to a minute rest between the giant sets and im always quite sore from it.
I only do that workout 3 or 4 times a week due to work and school the only time i can get to the gym is in the morning on m/w/f and sometimes on the weekends. But i work in a warehouse so i’m constatnly moving around lifting tv’s or tv stands. Also would this diet work better?
