Hi,

I'm 6'2", 220lbs. I have just started to workout. I was hoping for some advice/comments on my workout routine and diet. My main goal is muscle mass and definition.

DIET

I usually eat 6 small meals a day.
Approx. 200g Protein
Approx. 285g Carbs
Approx. 30g Fat
Approx. 2500 Cal

WORKOUT SPLIT (I usually try to get to the gym 4 times a week)

Day 1 - Chest & Triceps (12 sets chest, 6 sets triceps)
Day 2 - Back & Biceps (9 sets back, 6 sets biceps)
Day 3 - Shoulders & legs (9 sets shoulders, 9 sets legs)
Cardio 20min in the morning 3 - 5 times per week and 15-20min post workout.

SUPPLEMENTS

Protein Shakes 3 times daily (with skim milk, this is included in daily protein intake.)

Creatine - 3 teaspoons daily. (1 pre workout, 2 post workout)
Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks

Trevor

To gain mass, you'll need to consume more cals than 2,500. The cardio is self-defeating if you aim to gain mass.

Good luck...
