hey everyone, like i said im new to this forum...so heres abit about me...

monday - chest & triceps tuesday - legs & abs thursday - shoulders & biceps sunday - back and traps
Your diet seems ok for mass, and for your weight. However, the only things i would change is to have 100g porridge oats before training with protein and maltodextrin after training... or dextrose which would be better. I found EAS Phosphogen to be of excellent use, ive been using this for post workout myself. 1 small scoop will give you 35g dextrose and 5g creatine. Switch to ethyl ester when dieting to avoid water retention.
Add some oats before bed also, you wont get fat if you eat carbs before bed... its a myth!
I have no carbs at the mo before bed but thats only so i can lower my glycogen levels even further for when i get up in the morning to burn fat.
So, keep the carbs in mate

HAVE A GOAL IN MIND, AIM FOR IT... AND ACHIEVE IT!
thanks for that... i may struggle with getting to eat porridge before i train due to being at work....maybe buy some quaker oat bars instead... thanks for the advice, at least i know im on the right track!!
I am also new to this forum and wondered if i may have some advice?
I have been weight training almost a year now and want to push myself harder but there is a few things i know i should do which i already dont!
I need to vari my workouts more and use more free weights, but everybody part i work i will do the same excercise everytime! i need to know the best way to learn new excercises, i mean i dont even do deadlifts, or squats which i know is terrible!
secondly my diet is as follows and just wondered if anyone could let me know if and where i can improve:
meal 1 (7:30 am) 70g porridge
(9:am) whey protein shake
meal 2 (10:30am) 1 chicken breast / rice
meal 3 (12:00pm) ready meal - cottage pie
meal 4 (2:00pm) jacket potatoe /tuna / cheese
(4:00pm) banana x2
meal 5 (5:30 x1 can tuna / salad / whey protein shake

Hi Lukey, welcome to the forum mate.
If you aint dead lifting or squatting then why not? I dont do them personally becouse my struture isnt built for them but give them a try and see what happens?
As far as different exercises go, buy some bodybuilding dvds... john hodgsons is good and imformative. Worth buying, i know the guy ive learnt plenty from him!
