ok thanx. Now I just need a good gym routine
@BuddyOmar. I don't lift weights like that. I don't even know how often I should be going to the gym. I used to go 3 days a week. But I mean that's a waste of time if I'm not putting in the required amount of work or eating right.
There's a million schools of thought on this. Some people do 4 day splits, some people do three-day splits, some people do full body workouts.
Personally, I got great results from a basic three day split. I would do Chest/triceps, biceps/back/shoudlers, and then I would do a leg/forearm/accesory day. SO three days.
The key is just do heavy work with barbells or just efficient compounds. Dips, pull-ups, deadlifts, squats, bench press are all great exercises.
3-4 days a week is perfectly fine. Make sure you're getting rest though because that's where you build and recover.
I'll link you a really good program that I don't personally use but I hear people get decent results from it.

This guy is awesome, prolly one of the best non-broscience people on youtube for fitness.

I honestly don't have any affiliation for him, but I admire what he does so much I'm willing to share his shyt with you because I think you'll find it beneficial. He opened my eyes to so much stuff about supplements and working out in general.
Right now, however, I'm transitioning from pure weight lifting to more military-based exercises. I'm still doing weights but no where near as heavy as I was. I'm not really building any muscle since I'm in a caloric deficit at the moment, so right now I'm focusing on improving my endurance. I'm doing a lot more running, but I'm sticking with my general workout but I'm incorporating a lot of bodyweight exercises i.e. pushups, crunches, pull-ups thrown in with my usual split.
I'm training for a goal which is to hopefully improve my long distance running and my muscular endurance. Your goal is whatever you want it to be. If losing weight and building muscle is your goal, there's nothing wrong with getting into weights even if you're fat/overweight.
You will build muscle either way, but if you're training for aesthetics, you can do a lot more isolation work, but if you're not a drug user I think you'll benefit the most from doing heavy compounds. That's what worked for me.
