Well I'm not going to nice guy or whatever but what are you looking to improve upon? Or in another way, what do you need motivation to accomplish?
Edit: I'll just post what I do for everyone -
Starting with Branch Chained Amino Acids (BCAAs): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched-chain_amino_acid - and here is the important take away: "BCAAs promote protein synthesis and turnover, signaling pathways, and metabolism of glucose." So what does that mean exactly? Well "promote protein synthesis and turnover" means you’re going to recover faster AND build muscle faster while also burning fat faster, why? In non science terms when we work out we are tearing our muscles apart and rebuilding them, we're pumping protiens into our body to repair the muscles and to make them prepared for the next time we do that particular exercise. The BCAA accelerates that healing process thus the "recovery" part of BCAAs, even better they allow the muscles to absorb new protein faster which makes the workout more useful. Not only that but BCAAs will also prevent muscle loss when you take breaks, or help maintain gains, I take it every day regardless of if I'm working out or not. I use a powder, Cellucor, https://www.amazon.com/Cellucor-Supplement-Tropical-Punch-Servings/dp/B00CX98ULW/ref=sr_1_8_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1518185581&sr=8-8&keywords=bcaa%2Bcellucor&th=1 it doesn't have any BS in it like caffeine or sugar, it's just 10gs of BCAAs. It's not a hocus pocus stimulant or any other BS, it's the real deal. You can also get it at GNC.
I put one scoop of powder in with 20oz of water and drink while I'm working out, I do caution you, if you drink it fast it might make your skin tingle. I tend to work through 10oz and then refill my bottle trying to get 30oz of water in me while I'm working out.
I take creatine directly after my workout, I like the Cellucor brand, it’s no nonsense and works great: https://www.amazon.com/Cellucor-Micronized-Monohydrate-COR-Performance-Unflavored/dp/B01BVRO7T0/ref=sr_1_9_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518186558&sr=1-9&keywords=creatine&th=1 There are 10 bajillion people who will tell you take it before, during, after, whatever, it’s one of those thing.. Personally I take a scoop of flavorless creatine in another 20oz of water directly after working out. So within that time line I’m downing 50oz of water with both BCAAs and creatine to great effect. When I travel I keep Ziploc bags with this stuff in it and an empty water bottle so I can hit the gym in hotels. Creatine is also great for losing weight, it’s not just for bulking up, that’s more the job of protein. Here is a copypasta “Yes! Creatine helps you gain and retain metabolically-active lean muscle tissue, which makes it an indirect fat burner. Put simply, the more muscle you have on your body, the harder you can work in the weight room, and the more calories you can burn both during and after your training sessions.”
Protein. I use a vegan powder, no nonsense, no BS, no added crap, here is another copypasta saying it better than I could say it: “As you are losing weight, your body loses both muscle and fat. During this process it is especially important that you continue to eat enough protein in your diet. Having adequate protein coming in from your food fuels fat burning while preserving calorie-burning lean muscle. I use: https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Organic-Protein/dp/B075KGR37C/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518186788&sr=1-5&keywords=vegetable%2Bprotein%2Bpowder&th=1
How much protein should you have? Copypasta! “Protein intake around 30% of calories may be optimal for weight loss. This amounts to 150 grams per day for someone on a 2000 calorie diet. You can calculate it by multiplying your calorie intake by 0.075.” For me, I try to take in about 175 grams of protein a day which frankly is a challenge. For reference I’m 5’11” and bulked weigh 170, when maintaining I’m around 162, with 24g from the powder in the morning, about 25g from a salmon sandwich for lunch, 50g combined from vegan sourced powerbars, then I try to squeeze in another 75 through dinner or other methods. If you’re trying to lose weight it will fly off – those BCAAs – now you’re using them right, packing protein into your system, burning fat, and packing muscles full of what they live on.
This is starter information and I caution you on cheap supplements. The reason I go with Cellucor is because look at the reviews and ratings. It’s no BS, and I do vegan for protein because it’s planted based. Cheap or dodgy looking supplements that promise crap won’t deliver and can even cause health problems. You can start researching this stuff and get into a good rabbit hole to find out even more information.. what else.. As you go further down the path and want a 12 pack or whatever you’ll need to learn about cutting and bulking. I’m cutting right now and almost down to 155, over the course of the next 6-9 months I’ll add 15 pounds of pure muscle. That’s 2 pounds a month which is about as high as it gets.
Ok! Let’s workout. Weight is based entirely on you and what you can do. You’re not working to failure you’re working to almost failure this is called “volitional fatigue” and what the means is that by the end of 3 sets the last 2-3 motions should be quite hard and the last should be almost impossible. During the first set you should feel quite tired and the last motion should be hard. So if you’re slinging around a 10 pound weight and it’s easy, it’s pointless, jack it up to 15, try again. This is a learning process for you. I keep a printed piece of paper with me every time I work out and keep track of my weight class as I bulk up so I’m going from 20s to 25s to 30s to 35s throughout months of training.
We do a set and we rest for 90 seconds, keep a watch or clock around, if you ever wondered why there are clocks in gyms and people are staring at them, this is why. So I’ll say 1 set of 8, rest 90, means do 8 repetitions of this exercise then rest 90 seconds, then do set 2, rest 90, then do set 3, now rest 2 minutes. Now start the next exercise.
Day 1 – Phase 1 – 3 months. - I warm up by hitting the stupid elliptical or stair machine for 5 minutes, or row for 5km on the machine. It get's the body ready for what you're about to do to it.

Reverse crunch - lower abs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyv14e2QDq0 – 3 sets of build up, I do 3 sets of 150, I don’t suggest doing that day one. Go until you can’t anymore. Rest 2 minutes, do it again until you can’t do anymore. You want a V? This is how you get the V! BURN!!!
Ok So I’ve giving you the youtube links for day 1, y’all can search for these. This is day 2.
dumbell upright row – 3 sets of 8
machine crunches – 3 sets to fatigue, I do 150 per set

cross-body hammer curl – 3 sets of 8
cross-bench dumbell pullover – 3 sets of 8
lying leg curls – 3 sets of 12
side jack knife – 3 sets to fatigue, I do 50
dumbell front raise – 3 sets of 10.
I do day 1 Monday, day 2 Tuesday, rest Wednesday, day 1 Thursday, day 2 Friday, Saturday I ride my bike about 20-30 miles depending. Rest Sunday. If you do this for 90 days send me the progress pic because it will be amazing, this is my “get ready for the beach!” workout routine. I start it in January, ending in March, then I start my phase 2 routine which is summer body! The concept is to work out different muscle groups, the body gets used to different motions, so swap out routines by the day and then by the quarter. Any questions send me a note.
