So I'm 18, I just got out of high school, and I really would like to get into shape, but I don't know where to start. First off, I would like to know what eating habits I should start getting used to. I am around 5'11 and 190+ pounds..not really too overweight but I still really need to get into shape. I was thinking of cutting down on what I eat, and start doing many push-ups, sit-ups, etc. I just would like to get help from a professional, or someone good, to find out where I should start, since I really do want to get into shape this time. I really hope someone will help me here because I want to be able to make sure I am doing the correct routine for myself to get into shape, since google won't help me find the routine that is perfect for me. I really would like to just have a daily schedule that will help me get into shape and lose weight..like 5 small meals a day and exercising at home. I really have no clue what kind if meals I should be eating and what all types of exercising would be needed for me to get into shape..that's why I need help. I think having a schedule for this would be good for me..but I really don't know where to start.

Basically, I can give you information, I just really don't know what I should eat and how/how much I should exercise/work out according to my age/weight and It's really hard to find something on I read personalized to myself so that is why I'm trying to get help here..I need some type of schedule to get started with this.

Thank you

Questions regarding that 5x5 strenght training plan -

- When I know my 1RM, and counted all things, when do I know when I should increase the weight while training?
- Some exercises, you are doing 8-12 reps, is this on all 5 sets with same weight?

Thanks in advance!

On the 5x5 sets, you are increasing your weight accordingly to the plan (please follow exact specifications listed)

as for the 8-12 rep sets, these start at 12 reps, then go to 10 reps, and finish with 8 reps. If they are 4 sets, you will do 2 sets of 8 reps of MAX weight for those 8 reps. In other words, if you can do it for 6 unassisted reps, the next two would be helped slightly with a spotter if possible. If not, lower the weight slightly and do 8 unassisted reps on your own to the point where a 9th would not be possible.

Hey there...very hard to tell...maybe 13-15%?

You have much lower BF in certain spots than others. You seem to carry most of your BF in the hips ...so a total accurate BF% might be hard to establish from pics alone...have you tried calipers?

Well, thanks.

The bolded part - I know that of course.

I meant:

- When should you increase weight, you know, when it get too easy, or should you use same weight week after week? ^^

Haha, hope you get it now, my english is maybe hard to understand at some points... ^^
