Your strength may not be affected, but your energy levels might, at least for awhile. Also, and this might be most important, post some pictures, no one here believes any bf% measuring scale and it could have a dramatic affect on the advice you are given.

    Glad to be along for the ride, you came to a great place for family and friends to come along side and help you acheive so much more so much quicker and safer!

Always been pretty bulky cause my diet was always horrible. 30 yrs old now and can't wait all my life to get the body ive always wanted. So im seriously ready mentally. I never really kept a good log throught training but am ready know.

    My typical 5 day training week:

    Monday-Chest,Biceps
    Incline Bench Press 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Pec Dec 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Decline Barbell Fly 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Push Up 3 sets to Failure
    Preacher Curls 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Alternating Dumbell Curls 4sets 12-15 reps

    Tuesday Legs
    Leg extensions 3 sets 12-15 reps
    Leg curls 3 set 12-15 reps
    Barbell Lungs 3 sets 12-15 reps
    Calve raises 3 sets 10-12 reps

    Wednesday-Cardio

    Thursday- Triceps, Shoulders
    Pull Downs 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Skullcrushers 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Bentover reverse tricep extensions 3 set 12-15 reps
    Overhead Dumbell Press 3 sets 12-15 reps
    Dumbell reverse fly 3 sets 12-15 reps

    Reverse Grip Bent over Row 4 sets 12-15 reps
    Seated Cable Row 4 set 12-15 reps
    Hyperextensions 4 set Failure

    Sat-Sun- Rest

    I try to do Cardio everyday but usually I do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes after my workouts. Been doing a lot of the HIIT as well maybe 10 minutes after post-workout cardio if i have enough juice left in the tank. I also try to do abs everyday in smaller sets.

    Thanks again for all your help its been great support and motivation.

    Interesting... You do more sets for smaller muscles like triceps then you do legs? Can you explain how come you do more sets and less sets in certain areas like legs, arms, back and chest...

    I guess i dont' feel i got a pretty productive workout on those mucle so i do and extra rep. The first sets of those are normally warmups were for my legs i do squats and lungs without weights before i lift for my first set. My legs are weak. The weakest of all my muscle groups and the one area i would like to improve besides my chest. I feel very strong in my back, biceps, and triceps but for legs, its the one area i need major improvement on. Thanks guys

    From your lay out you presented you don't even do squats, infact your leg work out is pretty sad... You do a total of 6 sets for quads? Then you do 8 for biceps? And just because you can do more doesn't mean you should. I do maximum 12 sets per muscle group. Look at it this way the smaller the muscle the less sets you'll do.

    Note : I do lats 12 sets
    Biceps 7 sets
    Triceps 8 sets
    Chest 9 sets
    Delts 9 sets
    Quads 10 sets
    Traps 7 sets
    Hamstrings 6 sets
    There is an example but you don't have to follow what I have laid out it is simply what works for me you can tweak it to customize you.
