I know most of you guys are probably gonna laugh at this because from what I've read on here it does seem pretty weak. If you guys could reccomend me something else that'd be great. As you can see, I do prefer the machines over the free weights by far. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

you left out the most important part--

your diet?

whats it look like

also what are your stats... height weight etc?

* AFTER 3 OR SO WEEKS CHOOSE DIFFERENT EXERCISES AND DO THE SAME THING

oh no i'm working on that too, i was just asking about my actual workout. i've cut out all fast food and i'm focusing on proteins and carbs. i try to eat every three hours as well.

i'm 6'2, 225, last time i checked about 24-25% body fat.

it's very hard to help you without an example of your daily diet. Weight loss is more nutrtion then gym.

okay well its still in the works but this is how its been over the last few days

breakfast
multivitamin
plain corn flakes with skim milk
glass of milk

snack
sandwich (whole grain bread, lean meat)

lunch
another sandwich (poor teenager living on own, dont have a lot of food)
glass of skim milk

snack
trail mix bar

dinner
whatever lean meat i can get my hands on


plus in the meantime i drink between 1-2 gallons of water



i'm thinking about buying some eggs or walnuts or something to throw in for a snack

Thanks for the tips. Is there a reason doing the full body three times a day is better then what I was doing before? Also why no HIIT?

full body 3 times a week is better than doing isolations ..
i would concentrate on compound exercises ..like
deadlift, squat, standing military press, flat bech, dips,
pullups

Hmm alright then I'll try that out. Any other opinions?

still nothing? :-(
