Welcome aboard mate, whats your name?

If you have read the site for a day or so you would of noticed that doing full body compound routines 3 times a week for beginners gets mentioned a lot. Whats your thoughts on this?

It keeps getting mentioned but not many seem to be taking that info on board

I would recommend adding an afternoon snack such as another tin of tuna, and some cottage cheese as a night time snack before bed.
 
hey eaglebay,

yea as im still new into all of this im still doing alot of research!. im fine with doing 3 times a week, exactly wat you said i was told to have a tin of tuna as a afternoon snack. but there is only so much tuna i can eat in a day lol. dont exactly LOVE the stuff!!!... would you suggest maybe protein shakes on the days i dont work out? or are they strictly before and after each workout?

thanks, Adam
 
I'd cut the packets of chips unless its one of those super healthy type brands.
 
Hey mate, welcome aboard.

Where abouts in QLD are you from?

Workout:
I would give this a read and pinch a workout from one of these guys:
http://ausbb.com/bodybuilding-training-discussions/9660-beginners-look-here.html

There's some good stuff in there, definitely worth taking 5 min to read them.

Diet:
I know you said you don't want to go all out with it, but I'd suggest having a look at one of the 'all out' diets just to get a feel for things.
Will make it easier to grasp how much food you should or shouldn't be eating.

There are a bunch of premade diets on here for different calorie intakes. 2200, 2600 or 2800, 3200 and 4000 I think.
Once you know much much you should be eating you can check out a premade one to get a feel for what an all out version is, then you can modify it to suit you better.

There's a few formulas around you can use to figure out how much you should be eating if you feel like doing some poking around.
There's some here:
http://ausbb.com/general-topic/9591-fitness-calculators.html

But if you can't be bothered and want the easiest ball park formula I've seen...

To lose fat: 12-13 cal / lb of bodyweight.
To maintain: 15-16 cal / lb of bodyweight.
To gain: 18-20 cal / lb of bodyweight.

Oh, I hear that hydroxy products are a bit of a sham. I'd just stick with something simple.
Check this out for ideas if you haven't seen it yet:
http://ausbb.com/bodybuilding-supplements/8886-recommend-protein-powder-please.html

Anyway, hope some of that is useful. I don't like to reinvent the wheel, so if someone has done the hardwork already, no point doing it again :)
 
thanks for all the info guys, after hte cricket finnishes il come back and read everything you guys have pointed out!
 
Looks decent, I'd say cut out the chips, make the servings of meat, chicken and tuna bigger and add another meal in somewhere that contains protein.
