Hey y'all, i know this isn't bodybuilders forum .com but I'm not an extreme meat-head and would like to get opinions from more demographics. What is your workout regiment and do you pair a healthy diet with it?
I try to go 5 days a week, cooking a lot of veggies and eating game meat 3-4 times a week. I have been working out for years (10+) and just found my favorite routine. It seems if you could balance you're diet to not a lot of junk food, your gym results expand like a mutha! As cliche as it sounds, once I really cut candy, chips, etc out of my diet, I got the 6 pack my father always told me our family never had the genes for.
When it comes to my workout, I don't know what I am going to be working out until I get to the gym. I tend to work a lot of muscle groups during the same session, not sure if that is to good or not, but I do see results. Any opinions on that?
Also, what do you do/eat to stay healthy?

I have 4-6 week workout plans created by one of my friends who's massively into it. I try to steer away from junk food and snacks - fairly successfully. I used to work all the muscle groups together twice a week, now I have separate lower and upper body days, plus I run and do indoor climbing (so 4 times a week for me).

It all depends what your goals are. Are you trying to get big or lean, strength or aesthetics? Your goals will reflect upon your diet. Regardless your training should have lots of variety. Change up your rep schemes every couple weeks (low reps/ high reps). Vary your workout intensity by changing how long you rest between sets (anywhere from no rest to a couple minutes). You can also add in different techniques to increase intensity. As for the muscle split, I change it every couple of months. I was just doing a chest/shoulder/tri, back/trap/bi, legs/calves/abs but now I am doing Chest/abs, Deads/back, Arms, Shoulders/abs, Legs.

I need to get into a good routine. Working overnight shifts has fucked me, so I am constantly eating junk food for cheap energy. I know I will cut that out once I move soon, then I can hopefully find a better routine for myself. Right now I just casually lift 2x20lb dumbbells and work in other stuff. Pushups, crunches, squats (with weights), etc. I am by no means ripped atm, but I have added a good amount of muscle mass along with toneage*(?) so I am quite happy with myself.

I need to get into working specific muscle groups on different days. ive become to dependent on going and working out the same muscles, just in different ways. |

I keep in shape with 30 push-ups/crunches and couple other basic no equipment at home shit, walk and jog the opposite day, it's all I need to stay healthy.

My old man owns a bodybuilding gym, but I can't be bothered with that shit..
For me biking 3/4 times a week and walking like 8 miles a day at work and same as above chuck in a few push + sit ups every now and then.
Thankfully i've got a fast metabolism so can eat anything and not get fat, but yeah I try to eat healthy but fail more often than not.

I've just started gym in the last 6 months or so and noticing quite a few differences. I used to weigh 98kg now i weigh 95kg but have cut a lot of fat from areas like my arms and back. I try to get Ab work outs in when I can, I've also recently started to eat protein and brown rice for lunches at work. What ideas do you guys have for losing weight from your stomach in particular?

I am still trying to find my routine, but I do make sure to eat healthy. I meal prep every Sundays. I go to the gym at least 4 days a week.
My routine: 5x5 workout, so I do the primary workouts on Monday, Weds, and Friday.
Primary workouts are Workout Day A: Barbell Squat, Barbell Chest, and Barbell Rows. Workout Day B: Squat, OH Chest Press, and Deadlift.
I started working out last year when I weigh 128 lb (58 kg) , now I weigh 147 (66 kg).

You can't lose weight from a particular area of your body, that's not how it works. |

Cardio and a proper diet might work for your whole body though. |

I have the gift/curse of eating anything I want and not gaining any weight.
I swear no matter how much I eat and even add in a lot of Whey I don't gain ANYTHING, it's pretty frustrating tbh.

You can be "skinny fat" though. If you actually want to gain weight try building up muscle and eating more wholegrain foods (brown rice etc.) I have a super fast metabolism too and do lots of sports so if I don't eat a lot I lose weight really quickly. |

I don't really have a super strict workout regiment, I just split up my days into different body parts. Right now I'm going 5 times a week: Back/triceps, Shoulders/light legs, Chest/Biceps, Shoulders/abs, Legs. After working out for a year going 4 times a week, I noticed my shoulders were lagging a bit so I added in a 5th day with some more shoulder work.
