I've been in the gym for 4 months and feel like I haven't made progress
I'm 22. 5'8, 160lbs. I'm aiming for lean physique/body recomp and getting rid of my stomach fat, and I have been in the gym since January.
This is my routine. 3 days a week.
A day:
3 x lateral raises
3 × kettlebell swing
3 × planks
3× lunges
3× bicep curls
B day:
3× pushups
3× squats
3× bicycle crunches
3× roman deadlift
3× chest press
3×shoulder press
Sometime in late March. I wasn't in the gym for about 3 weeks cause of switching gyms for convenience reasons. When I came back, I started taking it slow and then tweaked my routine and increased my weights, but I realized recently that, so far, that my routine isn't that great, and my diet sucks and I only eat to survive. I would post pictures of my physique, but I'm not super comfortable. Basically, I'm skinny but have low muscle mass. I think I'm getting stronger, but I'm focusing a lot on my physique. I don't want to end up 6-12 months in with nothing to show for it.
