Read the FAQs in the S&P, Cardio, and D&S forums.

First, go and read the FAQ threads in here, Strength & Power and the Diet & Supps subforums. They contain everything you need to know.

It sounds like you're trying to do too much too soon, and much of it wrong. First off, you're lifting like a bodybuilder, which is no way to increase fitness or sports performance. A lifting routine should not be split up into bodyparts. The body is one piece - train it as such and you'll get results. Report to S&P post haste.

And re weight loss: the body's first reaction to heightened activity + calorie deficit is usually increased water retention. It'll even out after a couple of weeks and you'll be able to trust the scales again. Until then you'd be better served paying attention to your waist measurement as the best marker of fat loss. Do you have any idea of your daily caloric intake? It pays to figure it out. Fitday is a great program that can help you get to grips with calorie counting and micro/macronutrient breakdowns.

And 3 weeks is nowhere near the kind of timeframe in which you're likely to detect changes in either physique or performance, no matter how much you kill yourself in the gym. Slow down, get some education, and set a sustainable plan towards achieving your goals.

Good post Revok. You're a more patient person than I.

Not that I'm frusterated by the thread starters question.

Where is the leg work at? Like the guy above said to much and sounds like you need a better workout.

Also. do you eat throughout regular intervals in the day? 5, 6, 7 or 8 Small meals, or 2 or 3 big ones?
