Interesting bet. You will want to take a serious look at your diet.

IMO you don't have the body to BURN THE FAT you have NO MUSCLE and need to GAIN MUSCLE to use to burn fat 24/7 but once you get that MUSCLE you need to MAINTAIN it.

You will like that shit with a 6 pack and the wind will split you in half.

When people say they are doing it all right and can't get the stubborn fat off and post a pic like that the answer from the wise will always be you don't have a fat burning body because you don't have enough muscle so go add some then cut down!

What's the point in a 6 pack if your going to look like an Airatarian or a starved Eithiopian?

Ok, yes stop doing chest Bi and legs 3x's a week!


You want to only work out a body part 1 time per week, allowing it time to rest and recover again before you work it out again. You don't gain muscle in the gym, you gain it away from the gym, when your recovering.

I would suggest taht you start off, doing 3 sets, and 3 exercises per body part. Aim for 6-8 reps, lifting a weight that you can't do any more than 8 reps.

Here is a just a quick workout I have done, just as a guide to help you build yours. Also another tip is to build your workouts around compound movements.

Day 1 - Legs

Squats
Leg press
Machine Leg Extensions

Calves

Standing Calf Raises
Seated Calf Raises


Day 2- Chest

Bench press
incline db press
Flat db flys
fly machine

Tri's

Dips
Skull crushers
Cable Tri Extensions

Day 3 - Back

Stiff Legged Deadlift
Assisted Chin ups
Bent over DB rows
Machine Close grip Row

Bi's

concentration curl
standing Barbell Curl
Cable Curls


Day 4 - Shoulders

DB Military press
DB side Lateral Raises
DB front Lateral Raises
Rear Fly Machine (rear Delts)

Traps

DB Shrugs
Barbell Shrugs

Ab's

Ball Crunches
Seated Machine Crunches

I think you are making progress - switch to a routine like the one suggested and keep eating healthy foods.
