Sonofsam,

Phil has given you decent advice. If you want to radically change your physique, it requires radical changes in lifestyle and habits. Yes, it means waking up tomorrow and eating 6-7 meals. It means constant meal planning and prep. It means bringing your food with you.

Changing your body is not just about diet and "a workout routine. Within that "workout routine", there is form, volume, intensity, fatigue etc. These things take a great deal of time to understand as well. Bad form and a great workout routine is going to give you horrible results. On any given day, I can walk into a gym and see 100 people lifting and maybe only 3 have a clue as to proper form and effectively targeting the muscles they are attempting to. So having a "to do" list of exercises isn't overly helpful in the big scheme of things as it requires much much more than that.

This is a journey. It should be looked at as such. It is a long journey of discovery.

Gym trainers - any trainer that hasn't successfully put people on stage and that placed in competitions is 99.9% of the time, full of suit. This is what sets Phils advice apart from others. When you're goal is to compete and you do compete, it means knowing unequivocally what needs to happen... there is no gray area, there is no middle ground. Once any person has been through a few competitions, they know what needs to be done. Just because a guy has a crappy certification that was a basic two month course with an open book test, does not mean he is an "expert". 4500 cals a day is obscene for a 150lb person. Anyone with experience knows this. So if this simple thing is sooooo far off, it would be absurd to take anything he says seriously.

My advice -

1) trust people that know and no one else. People that compete or train others to compete, know. There is no magic, complex formula... the more you learn, the more you'll learn how simple it is.

2) if you want to achieve specific goals and transform your body... Read bodybuilding.com everyday. You'll start to see over time all of the common threads in terms of diet and lifting and you'll start to see how truly basic it is. Most of these basic things are critical, but still simple.

3) read one simple book that will point you in the right direction across the board. A simple, clear, easy to read, no bullshit book that just covers the basics .... Bigger Leaner Stronger by Michael Mathews.

4) stop asking strangers that don't know to give you pointers on thugs that are super critical to your success. You'll just get tons of conflicting, confusing and horrible advice.

If you want answers read or ask on bodybuilding.com - where you can ask people who compete at the highest levels vs obese or woefully out of shape webmasters. Go where
You know advice will be decent And critiqued by people who actually know ;)
