Re: Help me Choose a diet plan and workout routine
Something like this might work as I sometimes post it for other people.
Squats, 2 sets 10 reps
Lunges, 2 sets 10 reps
Deadlifts, 2 sets 10 reps
Vertical Flyes, 2 sets 10 reps
Bent over Rows, 2 sets 10 reps
Shrugs, 2 sets 10 reps
Planks 30-45 seconds, though you could swap this for the 3 sets of 10 in your case, but perhaps limit that if you do to 2 sets of 10, because that way you're then doing the same amount of work on the lower back area, (rear core), as you are the front of the core.
I wouldn't use the lightest weight in the gym on small muscles, but use the next ones up to start and then go a bit heavier on larger muscle groups.
Give yourself around 4 weeks to adjust to the biomechanics of weightlifting and slightly increase the weight on all exercises after 2 weeks.
After 4 weeks you could then experiment with different intensities and systems.

Re: Help me Choose a diet plan and workout routine
Thanks for the post
What would you suggest for a diet plan? I usually wake up at 4:30 and eat fruits and nuts as breakfast and eat sandwiches during the day. Dinner time is always at 6:30
Would there maybe be a forum with a bit more activity than I can get some more suggestions from?

I posted this for someone else recently so it might work for you.

Bowl of Whole-grain Cereal and 1 rasher of Bacon, fat trimmed off and scrambled Eggs, (2 Egg Whites + Yolk)
Option 2.
Protein shake, small portion of Nuts, (excluding higher carb ones like Cashews, Chestnuts and Grapenuts), + Apple. Give the Apple 10-15 minutes to digest to improve digestion.
Snack

Option 2.
Small Portion of Peanuts, some Chicken + Raw Carrott.

Option 1.
Large Beef Sandwich with trimmings, I.E. Tomato, Lettuce, Cucumber etc.
