Basically, I am a freshman in college and i have played basketball for all life, and was in good basketball shape, but now since i am done with bball career, i am now just going for a body that looks good, to help me out with the girls.
I am about 5'7'', and about 150lbs. I also had a surgery a couple years ago, that prohibits me from doing push-ups, bench press, and pull-ups (anything of that nature, that has that motion on the shoulders)
I currently go to schools rec center everyday.
Mon,Wed,Fri i do (Upper Body)...
Tricep Extensions, Preacher Curls, Rear Delt/ Pec Fly, Unilateral Lats, Tricep push down extensions, Pectoral Contractor, and standing bicep Curls. (appx 3 sets of everything: 15,12,10 in increasing weight. so 15x100, 12x110, 10x120 for example)
Tues,Thurs,Sat i do (Lower Body)...
Leg Extensions, Seated Calf, Hamtractor, Seated Leg Press, Ab Machine, Abdonimals, Pull Overs. (appx 3 sets of everything: 15,12,10 in increasing weight)
I then do the p90x ab ripper dvd (for those that dont know what it is: videofitness.com/reviews/horton-p90x-ab.php)
On sunday, i just swim laps in the pool
Diet: This is where i need most help.
Currently i try to drink just water, apple juice, orange juice.
I also have "Men's Mega Men Sport Dietary Supplement pills." I try to take them 2x a day
After every workout, i drink a 21g high quality protein Myoplex drink. I then eat half a bar of either a cliff bar (5.5g of protein) or half a snickers marathon energy bar (5g of protein).
During the day, I go to the dining halls and i usually eat a sandwich with Italian Parmesan or wheat bread, with ham and turkey, lettuce, and mayo. Then a banana, a cookie, and whatever else they have available. Back in dorm i have bagels and put peanut butter on them, some bananas, easy mac, strawberry pop tarts, nature valley crunchy granola bars, oat-meal, and nutri-grain bars.
Questions to you guys..
What should i change about workout schedule? anything to add? take away?
How often should i change up workout routine? i heard every 2 weeks, what would be good stuff to do for other workout routine?
How often should i do abs? How can i get a great 6 pack?
How often should i swim?
What should i be drinking? How often?
Are the supplement pills good for me?
Am i getting enough Protein?
Am I eating right? How often should I eat and how much? What would be a good eating/diet plan?
Any other tips for me?
I am trying to better myself, and thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out, thanks!

Re: NEED HELP FROM PROFESSIONAL PLEASE!!!
- surgery on what?
- you're doing exercises i'd never do with someone who has had surgery on their shoulders yet telling us not to one's you could and should do?
- 6 days a week of wts is 2 - 3 days too many
- training on machines - no wounder your 150pds
- what is the deal with all the p90 shit going around? never seen it but i'm sure it's no good
- DO NOT DRINK JIUCE
- you don;t need supplenents mate, you need a proper program and actual food
- eat pasta/rice/cerial or bread post workout
- anything in bar form is terrible
- you need 4000% more protein - meat it up big boy
- make up 3 sessions full body workouts and do each of them 6 times (3/week training though)
- 1 - 2 exercises per session
- drink water, as much as your bladder can hold
- supp's, um, no
- no where near enough
- 5 - 6 meals a day
- you should be content after each meal but not stuffed and simply eat again whehn you're hungry whicvh should be every 2 - 3hrs you're awake everyday, not 4 out of 7 each week
