New guy looking for some tips

Here are some quick facts about me and some of my concerns: I am 33, weight 207 and I am 6'1". I want to slim down, increase my bench and get rid of that spare tire around the midsection. Does anyone else seem to have a pathetic bench? I have an under developed chest, and even when I was working out when I was in my 20s it never really developed. I tend to fatigue really quickly when I hit the bench. I try to do 3 sets of 10, but if I do more than one or two different exercises to work out the chest I get poor results because I get too tired. I have bad eating habbits, although I have worked on them a bit. I used to Never eat breakfast and only ate once or twice a day, but now I am doing pretty much 3 meals a day, and when I really am doing good i have 5 small meals/snacks a day.

Other than that get in to a good routine and the strength as well as development will come if you keep at it. Some people have some genetic limitations that can't be completely overcome but I've yet to meet anyone that couldn't improve if they stay at it consistently and intensely. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
