need some new music for working out

Haha... I hear ya man. I am and always have been super athletic, football\Rugby big. But I messed up my knees and recently had surgery. I couldn't work out for months and packed a little extra on... I'm about to go back to school where I'm just gonna be learning and lifting.

 

That does not sound like a wannabee, it sounds like a goal you want to achieve. To me it sounds like you are a little underweight for your height. As long as you are happy with your weight though no big deal. Although I can't picture you wit a beer belly. Before I go any further lemme say I am not an expert by any means, I have only studied and put what I learned to use on my own personal time. Now the goal you have is a very high one but not impossible to achieve at all. To achieve it you will need dedication, discipline, and motivation. First it is needed you understand that everything you do throughout the 24 hour day will effect your results. What you eat, how many times a day you eat, the amount of time you spend working out, what body parts you train, and finally how much sleep you get. I understand you want more upper body strength, focusing on that is good but do not neglect your lower body too much. I would first come up with a daily workout routine to follow.
You can come up with your own to accommodate what you have available to you. This is what I use
For example:
Monday-
Chest:
Barbell bench- this will use a combination of muscle groups.
Incline bench- this will focus more on your upper chest.
Dumbell bench- this makes each chest muscle work
separetly.
Butterflies- this will stretch you chest muscle and focus
on the outer part of your chest. Giving you a
fuller lookin chest.
Tuesday-
Back:
Deadlift- this will use a combination of muscle groups.
Good mornings- uses the lower part of your back.
Hyper Extentions- same as above you can use either one.
Lat Pull down- uses upper part of your back.
Helps achieve that V shape.
Seated row- uses upper part of your back. Helps achieve
that V shape
Weighted shrugs- uses the very top of you back, and a
very lil of your neck.
Wednesday-
Abs and Core:
There are many exercises you can use to strengthen your
core and work out your abs. Here are just a few

Suspended leg lifts
Sit ups on big medicine ball, or bouncy ball
Leg curls with a bouncy ball (while in the push up position
put your knees on the center on the bouncy ball,
and curl your legs toward your chest while balancing
on the bouncy ball)
Angel leg lifts ( laying down on a flat bench and your butt
at the end of it straighten your legs out and lift
until your toes point at the ceiling, go down
until legs are parallel with the floor, stop and spread
your legs like you do in snow algels. And repeat.
Thursday-
Legs:
Squat- uses a combination of muscle groups.
Leg lift- focuses on your quads.
Leg curls- focuses on hamstrings.
Calf raises- focuses on your calfs.
Reverse hyper extention- focuses on your buttocks.
Friday-
Arms:
All focus on biceps
Dumbell curls
Preacher curls
Hammer curls
All focus on triceps
Scull crushers
Bumbell triceps’ extension

For forearms anything that you can thing of that will only
invlove your wrist moving will focus on forearms.
Saturday- REST
Sunday-REST
*You can add on more auxiliary exercises that will focus on particular muscle group for that day, just don’t over train your self. You still have the rest of the week to continue training.*

Now everyday before you workout warm up by jogging for 5-10 min.
After you are done lifting for the day don’t think its over get back on a treadmill and do some running for no more than 30 min. It does not have to be super intense but enough to keep you sweating. Stairmaster works wonders for the tummy and the love handles. Leave your self 5-10 minutes max out of the 30 to cool down by walking.

Hope this helped. Ask away if needed.
