I was looking for some advice and I know that your website is a great resource with very knowledgeable people. So, here it goes. What I am trying to accomplish is going to the next step with my diet/ workouts. About 5-6 mth ago my friend, who is a body builder, put me on a high protein diet. I take in about 200 g of protein a day. The only time during the week that I usually eat carbs is right after the gym. I eat oatmeal and eat between 30-60 g of carbs. After doing this diet for about 6-8 wks I did start seeing results. I actually have abs now. I still stick to this above diet pretty good. I am 5’2, 115 lbs. At the gym I switch up my routine. I go back and forth doing the following.
M- Back
T- Chest
W- Arms
T – Shoulders
F- Legs
When I exercise I typically do 3 exercises 4 sets for each exercise. My goal is to become leaner and more cut. I have a lot of muscle and I am in shape but I am not sure how to improve my workouts/diet to get the desired effects I am looking for. Is it better to do less weight and more reps? And if so how many reps is too many? For, ex: if I am doing 15-20 reps does that mean I should move up to the next weight? Basically, I need some tips on how to become more tone/lean. I have come a long way and do not want to get discouraged. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
