Stats: 30 years old, ~167 pounds, 5'9", body fat ~19%
I am trying to decrease body fat/build lean muscle. Taking the following supplements:
Fitness labs Glutamine 2-3 grams before and after workout
Creatine Creapure 5 grams before and after workout for a week or 2 then only 5 grams before. Fitness labs Green Tea Diet (Green tea extract 135mg as EGCG and 75 mg caffeine) I take twice daily. Fitness labs CLA Tonalin 1 gram (740mg as CLA) twice daily. Fitness labs "WheyFit" Concentrate. I take 3 shakes of ~20-25 grams protein in addition to 3 balanced meals. I used to never workout. I have a gym available. Grouping chest with triceps (dumbbell press, and 2 types of incline, butterflys, rope pulldowns, kickbacks)
Back and Biceps (standing curls, ez bar, machine curls, hammer curl, seated row, lateral pulldowns, bent over row)
Shoulders and legs (front raises, lateral raises, shrugs, leg extensions, leg curls, lunges
Abdomen 2-3x weekly. double leg drops, machine crunches, and some machine that does obliques.
I have intentional avoided some traditional things due to a surgically repaired dislocating shoulder 5 years ago (No squats, skull crushers, dips, etc...) What do you think? Also, will using creatine make it more difficult to get defined abs due to water weight? Thanks for any advice
