alex, you are going to have to be more specific, as absolutely specific as possible, with your goals. you need to sit down and think about exactly what it is you want, whether it be to lose 10 lbs, or gain 15 lbs, or to be able to bench 300 lbs. it is extremely difficult to develop a workout regimen without a goal to work toward, and if you can’t measure progress towards a goal then it saps your motivation.

the first step to achieving results is creating specific and attainable/realistic goals. if you don’t have something in mind that you can focus on and really work toward, you will never follow through or put in the effort that you will once you complete that step.

i’m not trying to discourage you from seeking help, quite the contrary. but in order for you to really make an impact you need to define what it is you want, not just “wanna get ripped”. does ripped entail gaining or losing? etc.

I agree with Pete.. You have to figure out your goals before anyone can give you any advice.. Here are somethings to consider……….

Do you want too:
-Gain more muscle and be lean?
-Lose fat only?
-Gain more mass?
-Gain more strength?
 
If so how much:
-What are your goals as far as body fat, weight, strength, lean muscle mass ect….
-In what time frame do you want to accomplish these goals?
-These are all the things you have to consider before anyone can help you…

What are your thoughts?

As far as your diet… I would recommend 6 meals a day
 
-Eat lean protein every meal (chicken, turkey, egg whites, lean beef, lean pork, fish, protein powder, fat free dairy,
 
-Eat healthy carbs:  Breakfast… before you workout and post workout (ex.. oatmeal, yams, quinoa, brown rice, Ezekiel bread, starchy vegetables) have a high glycemic carb post workout (check out the article on muscledog and glycemic index   http://www.muscledog.com/article/view/102/THE_GLYCEMIC_INDEX_PART_TWO#  )
 
-Add more healthy fats: nuts, nut butters avocados, salmon, fish oil, milled flax seed, flax seed oil, olive oil , coconut oil
 
-Eat a slow digesting protein before bed like casein protein powder (optimum nutrition has a great tasting one) or cottage cheese
 
-Limit your carb intake at night ….unless you have a late night workout or practice.
 
-Drink at least a gallon of water a day
 
-Eat at least 3-4 servings of vegetables a day.
 
These are just some tips for your diet..
