Getting In Shape for Summer

[CORVETTE06]

I started in February to get in shape for the summer. I don't want to get super-huge, but i want to look muscular where people would notice that im 'pretty big' and work out. (im NOT fat but i have some 'spare tires' i'd like to get rid of, so i want to lose fat and gain muscle)

right now i weight 166.5 pounds

i want to have a gi-joe look

please tell me if im doing anything wrong

my workouts are broken up into 3 days....
i work out 4 times a week, and run on the elliptical for 20 minutes three times a week.

i try to cut out crap food. i try and eat high protein foods. and im taking creatine (1 scoop only when i work out)..and if i dont eat high protein foods, i have a egg-protein shake or a 'pure-protein' bar. i cant drink whey shakes cuz i crap them out.

Hm. You should be able to look good by July/August IF you stick dilligently to your goals, and for that you need a strict eating plan, workout routine and cardio schedule. You can't do something like this instinctively unless you're really good at gauging how your body works..

Post up:
Your entire workout routine (exercises, sets etc)
Cardio schedule
Typical day's diet (be honest)

And we'll take it from there.

either is fine.

I prefer people posting stuff in the open so that a) other members can chime in and b) more people can see the advice given
