Confused on What I Need

You're young so your metabolism is very high. I'd just spend the next year working on putting on muscle. I think it's important to build a good base. Start counting your calories after figuring out your BMR (google it). Use fitday.com to keep track of your calories.

After doing this for a bit you'll have a good understanding of what it takes for your body to gain muscle.

What does your training set up look like?

p.s. If you're reading Gym Jones, you're on the right track.
 
To damnthemachines,

To fight to win you must be elite.
1. Get your fat to about 11% as soon as possible.

2. Measure exactly how many grams of protein you eat
per day. 1.4g per kilo in your case is 98 grams of protein per day.
That means approx. 88 to 108 every day. Never 50 or 60.
Never 150-160.

3. What's your nickname when you train? My former trainer called himself the
beast when he exercised. You become something else!


4. You can build muscle and lose fat at the same time.
it is preferable. Order Mike Boyles, Fat Loss Secrets DVD.
He works with Olympic Athletes. I don't know him and there is no
affiliation, it's perfect for a guy like you, you'll get it.

If not do interval training cardio. that is
A. Warm up
B. Do 1 minute at heart rate 170-180
C. stop or walk for 2 minutes, maybe three
D. then do 1 minute.
Continue for 30 minutes.


This may be running, biking, fast rope jumping
The key is to keep the heart rate up.

Also weight train, or gymnastics the way you have been doing.

Go for it. Choose it. Then do it. It is the only "weigh" you'll know.
