Inclined Bench Press
Tricep Press
Abs


Day 3

Lat pull down
Seated Rows
Shoulder Press
Side Laterals


Day 5

Incline Flyes-3x8, 1x12

if you're in a bind with workouts, and want to learn more about diet and find the right diet and work out for your body, hire phil hernon or one of the other great trainers on this board. i put it off for way too long, but i'm glad i did.

on the other hand, the suggestions the other guys made are good ones. good luck to you.
