Newbie looking to get cut..any help appreciated!

[MD2000]

Whats going on guys and girls, first of all I wanted to say whats up and thanks in advance..I've been checking out this forum for awhile and finally decided to register. Hopefully you guys can help me out..

Age: 17
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 155 lbs.
Body fat: Around 15%

I have been on a routine for awhile, but people that I know have told me its not a good routine:

Day 1: Run for 30 minutes; do three sets of 15 of three different stomache excercises.
Day 2: 2 Chest Excercises: On my 1st set, I do 12, 2nd 10, 3rd 8, 4th 6, 5th, 12 again. After that I do 12 of another chest excercise. Same goes for Shoulders, Upperback and Calfs which I also do on that day. I end by doing 3 sets of 12 of a stomache excercise.
Day 3: Once again run for 30 minutes; do three sets of three different stomache excercises.
Day 4: Same as Day 2, except I do Biceps, Triceps, Quads, and Hamstring as well as the stomache.

Then I repeat it..Sunday is my free day..meaning no excercise..and basically I can eat anything..on other days of the week I try to eat a minimum of fatty foods, and try to bulk up on protein (occasionally take protein shakes as well)

I'm pretty much just trying to get cut up, develop abs..and possibly even get a little bigger in the process. Anyone wanna reccomend me a better routine, diet, etcetera. Any and all reccomendations appreciated.

Thanks!

i'd recommend you write down what you eat during the day. it may sound like a waste of time, but until you ACTUALLY write it down and start looking at it, you really have no idea what you are actually consuming.

shoot for 200grams of protein/day

split up your running from the weight training. do your running in the morning before school and then weights in the evening. focus on the primary compound movements (bench/incline, squat, dips, deadlifts, chins, cleans, etc) and BUST YOUR ASS in the gym...

I eat something like this:

Breakfast: Egg whites, cereal w/ skim milk, orange juice
Lunch (school): Protein Bar
Lunch (home): Usually some kind of chicken or tuna sanwich
Snack: Protein Shake
Dinner: Rice, vegetables, and meat (different kind of meat daily)

Thanks for the replies so far btw.

you want to cut up at 155 ? you should gain some mass first bro. Start by eating a bigger lunch

how long have you been lifting for

 

[MD2000]

The thing is, I have a lot of body fat, late last year I had nearly 20%. I haven't been lifting long..probably about 5-6 months..its only been since January that I started getting serious about it.

dude if you do achieve the state of being cut you want, the second you do youll want to get huge, so get big now

add muscle, lifting will gradually make you lean out

adding muscle boosts metabolism, and its hella hard to add muscle when your trying to cut
