Help with workout routines.
I'm the guy at the gym just walking around doing whatever, any excercise that is open really.
I'm in good shape, 5'7" 150 lbs. I eat pretty healthy, well almost, I eat out a lot but not like McDonalds, Taco Bell type shit, like Chipotle, chinese, type food. That is a concern but whatever, I want to develop a routine first, rather than just doing bullshit excercises doing nothing really. I don't want to put on a lot of muscle but some, get a little more cut whatever.
What is a good routine I should start to do?

First you need to clean up your diet a little bit.If you want to eat out,limit it to once every 2 weeks.It's important to get in enough protein and good carbs instead of bad fats and refined sugars.
For workout routine,id start off with this basic plan. You workout 2 mucle groups a day,3 exercises each muscle group,3 sets each exercise,and 10 reps each set.
example:
monday:chest,triceps
tuesday: biceps,shoulders
wednesday: back,legs
thursday: off day
friday : chest,triceps
saturday: biceps,shoulders
sunday off
It's important not to workout the same muscle group 2 days in a row.

Re: Help with workout routines.
does the gym you use not employ fitness instructors? if they do the simplest thing is tell one of them what you aim to achive and ask them to draw you up a program. Good gyms should not charge you anything for this (unless its a pay per session gym if thats the case it shouldn't be much anyways and is worth it).

Re: Help with workout routines.
I go to a recreation center to workout, less people and can actually get things done, its still crowded though. I did go to 24 hour fitness for a while but that was wak, trainers wouldnt listen to me had me doing what they thought I should do. He wanted me drinking all kinds of weight gain shit and I'm in my ideal weight and I told him I dont want to get bulky like that but he says its worth it and girls like it type shit, i wasj ust like wow. ha. But thanks for the feedback, I can mix that in with my basketball so it works. Thanks.

Re: Help with workout routines.
well basically what princemack said. Also remember that you should do around 3 sets each with 6-15 reps and put as much weight on as possible, you want to move on....

Re: Help with workout routines.
if your are your ideal weight and don't want to get any bigger then why go the gym at all? why not just go a run to stay fit? Im not having a go or anything it would just help to know what you want to achieve by working out EG: to get better at a particular sport, before I or anyone else can recommend a program??

Re: Help with workout routines.
^Thanks.
Yeah I don't want to be one of those guys who just have muscle, no athleticism and quickness to them, all big and bulky arms out and shit. I want to get more cut put on some more muscle, mainly dropping extra fat here and there. When saying I'm in my ideal weight it's not like I wouldnt gain 10 punds or so to put on more muscle while dropping fat.

Re: Help with workout routines.
I dunno why are people scared of havin too much muscles? I think it's because it's just an excuse. I said it before and I'll say it again. Don't worry about gainin too much before you even start to work out. It's a lot of work to get really big, you might work out for 3 years like 5 times a week and then you might have to worry about gettin too big but it's not like you'll gain so much within a couple of weeks that your quickness is gone, if anything, the muscles will help you to get quicker, it's a loooong way before your muscle gains will effect your qickness in a negative way. And no, you don't get all big and bulky arms within a couple of weeks neigther.

Re: Help with workout routines.
If you do the right stretches (properly) before and after workouts you can still have a lot of flexibilty. The most negative effect you will almost definitely have is getting rigid (because the muscles get "in the way"). Things like folding your shirt collar before work can be a pain lol.
Take this big fucker for example. He's still quite flexible for a guy his size.
