Im Trying to Lean and Get rid of the extra Body Fat.

MUCH more protein with breakfast. Soy milk, let it go. Try cutting down on the grains and replace them with veggies. They’ll keep you fuller and are much better for you all around. You’ll keep your insulin levels more stable which will aid in the assault on fat.

Make sure to read the beginners articles. But some key points to keep with you for life.

Protein with every meal.

Carbs in the morning and post workout. IE your oatmeal, or fruit and Surge PWO.

Healthy fats replace carbs in the latter half of the day.

On another note, most protein bars are crap, tons of sugar alcohols and some hidden hydrogenated oils. Perhaps get a shaker bottle and drink a good low carb protein shake, like Metabolic Drive. Or if the bar is more convenient to you, get some Metabolic Drive bars, much higher quality.

So we don’t know your background. But you say you want to get lean. Well tell us where you’re at right now. Height, weight, bodyfat?

Im 6’1 About 200 Pounds, Not sure about my body fat percent, all i know is i have love handles a gut and some lil boobs lol. If i had to guess id say around 35 percent Body Fat.

I do go to college full time So the Bar is easyer, But Shaker bottle i could most likly do.

Where could you get Surge besides here if you dont want to wait for it to get here by Mail?

diet looks great besides the soy milk.

your workout on the other hand needs some tuning up.
if you’re trying to lean up and drop bodyfat, you wanna keep your heart rate up. try combining 2 or even 3 exercises in succession for a single set.

for example

seated Rows → Push ups → jump squats

doing all three exercises will constitute one set. if you’re not winded or have extra atp in the tank, try the sequence again without rest, or up the weight. 15 reps is just fine.

minimum 3 sets. work up to 5.

to make it even better, id add a ‘heavy’ day once a week.

heavy deads 6 x 3
pulldowns 4 x 8
db press 4 x 8

Sounds all good, But im dealing with a single Basic weight bench and a outside to do cardio. With me going to college full time leaves me with little money for gym membership for them workouts that request machines or other equipment.

When i say Machine Row i really mean Standing Row with a barbell.

Speaking of such is there any other excersize to replace Squats?

7

If you’ve got a barbell and weights there’s no reason not to squat in one way or another.

No squat rack? Clean it up and do front squats.

And throw away that fuckin’ soy milk, shit’s no good for you in lots of ways.

I never thought of doing front squats. Thanks. And Soy Milk Gone.

Meal #4

post-workout drink (Surge)

Meal #5

Turkey Salad

Meal #6

Cottage cheese

I always liked Clif Bars, not great, but not the worst quick meal either. High sugar.

As for the soy milk, look up the science on soy for yourself. Estrogen is not going to help you. But there is a lot of heads up asses surronding it and it’s effects on your body.

I can’t drink regular milk, but seem to have no issues with cheese, so I use soy with my Whey shakes, because water just doesn’t cut it. Best idea? no. But it is like drinking Red Line, you know it’s not good, but hey WTF why not?

IMHO the second diet looks 1,000% better.

Thanks Guys.
