Hey everybody. My name is Corey, i'm 18 years old im from Staten Island NY and Im currently attending the University of Tampa. I currently lift 5 days a week run 5 days a week keep a healthy diet, but I absolutely hate my body. I will try to explain everything in hope some expierenced person on this forum can give me in depth help to an entire new workout plan, eating routine and possible supplements to help me.
I have always been a chunky kid all my life and I hit my heaviest around when I was 16. I was 210, 5'6, 38 inch waist, completely fat. In about 6 months I dropped down to 160, no definition just scrawny. Currently Im at around 175-180 5'10 and believe I have decent muscularity but I just hate how I look (will post pics soon). I have a 34 inch waist, and clothes I once fit in over the summer dont fit anymore which really bothers me. My goal isnt really to get huge, but to have the slim cut look. Being around peers who generally have this I feel somewhat bulkier and dont like it. I personally think its very mental, but i absolutely despise my love handles, little roll, and fat that hugs around the waist of jeans on the back.

Everyday I try to run about 3 miles, or 30 minutes of cardio. I do varios ab excercises about 3 -4 days a week.
I currently take On Whey 1 scoop after I lift as well as sometimes before I go to sleep. Ive tried many fat burners over the past year while lifting, redline,thermoburn,stacker and currently im trying animal cuts. Nothing ever seems to work. Ive triew CLA with L Carnatine and Multi Vitamins no help still have that same belly fat.
Ive tried a few creatines nothing I really stuck with. Cellmass didnt like how I felt, Trac poweder saw no differnce, and currently liquid vitol drops, I see some improvement but I think its increasing my body fat and body size right now, which ironically isnt what I want to do.
At college its hard to keep a strict diet but I try.
Morning, egg white omelette with vegetableas - sometimes fruit and cottage cheese - cup of coffee
2 small lunchers - salad with vegetables,egg white, loq fat dressing, turkey or a wrap. The cafeteria has various things a deli station,sald station, and cereal and fruit station which is always avaiable during meal hours. Then there is classics,Internation,Grill,Pizzeria and Vegetarion which i try to stay away from becuase usually each dish is small and had 700 calories or so.
Using everything you guys know and the dipiction I tried to give you guys, please help me formulate some lifting strategy,eating strategy, supplement help you can offer me. Keep in mind I dont want to become huge, just extremely lean,cut,toned, with some decent size. I see people my same body weight and much more ripped,cut and bigger fitting into smaller clothing which makes it very hard for me to keep what im doing.
After coming this far from how I was, I dont want to stop until perfection even if the abs never will come.
