Basically, I am a freshman in college and i have played basketball for all my life, and was in good basketball shape, but now since i am done with my bball career, i am now just going for a body that looks good, to help me out with the girls.
I am about 5'7'', and about 150lbs. I also had a surgery a couple years ago, that prohibits me from doing push-ups, bench press, and pull-ups (anything of that nature, that has that motion on the shoulders)
I currently go to my schools rec center everyday.
Mon,Wed,Fri i do (Upper Body)...
Tricep Extensions, Preacher Curls, Rear Delt/ Pec Fly, Unilateral Lats, Tricep push down extensions, Pectoral Contractor, and standing bicep Curls. (appx 3 sets of everything: 15,12,10 in increasing weight. so 15x100, 12x110, 10x120 for example)
Tues,Thurs,Sat i do (Lower Body)...
Leg Extensions, Seated Calf, Hamtractor, Seated Leg Press, Ab Machine, Abdonimals, Pull Overs. (appx 3 sets of everything: 15,12,10 in increasing weight)
I then do the p90x ab ripper dvd (for those that dont know what it is: videofitness.com/reviews/horton-p90x-ab.php)
On sunday, i just swim laps in the pool
My Diet: This is where i need most help.
Currently i try to drink just water, apple juice, orange juice.
I also have "Men's Mega Men Sport Dietary Supplement pills." I try to take them 2x a day
After every workout, i drink a 21g high quality protein Myoplex drink. I then eat half a bar of either a cliff bar (5.5g of protein) or half a snickers marathon energy bar (5g of protein).
During the day, I go to the dining halls and i usually eat a sandwich with Italian Parmesan or wheat bread, with ham and turkey, lettuce, and mayo. Then a banana, a cookie, and whatever else they have available. Back in my dorm i have bagels and put peanut butter on them, some bananas, easy mac, strawberry pop tarts, nature valley crunchy granola bars, oat-meal, and nutri-grain bars.
My Questions to you guys..
What should i change about my workout schedule? anything to add? take away?
How often should i change up my workout routine? i heard every 2 weeks, what would be good stuff to do for my other workout routine?
How often should i do abs? How can i get a great 6 pack?
How often should i swim?
What should i be drinking? How often?
Are the supplement pills good for me?
Am i getting enough Protein?
Am I eating right? How often should I eat and how much? What would be a good eating/diet plan?
Any other tips for me?
I am trying to better myself, and thanks in advance to anyone that helps me out, thanks!

eggs too and eat high quality EFA's eat whole grains and complex carbs i.e. whole wheat bread, potatoes, yams, oatmeal, etc. and seems to me like your hitting the gym too often. you should also calculate your BMR and then figure out how many calories you need depending on your goal ( mass gaining, cutting, maintenance)
