Need lots of advice!!

Well i need alot of help in this area. some background, i recent went from about 228 lbs to 187. Im 5.11. Did this though removing all the junk from my diet, and exercise regularly. for the first like 4 months i tried to work out at home in which i out grew what i had here so i joined a gym like 3 weeks ago. Which i can go about 4 days a week. My routine consist of and i do light cardio (Walk and job about half a mile on gym days). Day 1 - Chest and Bicepts (or tricepts i will rotate with bicepts every few weeks) Day 2 - Back and Tricepts (or Bicepts) Day 3 - off Day 4 - Shoulders and Legs day 5- Bicepts and Tri's Day 6 - off Day 7 - off now i know that since i started loosing weight and hitting the weights my muscles seemed to have changed shape and gotten leaner which is a good thing. However in the last few weeks it seems my shoulders are starting to get more narrow. I am still loosing weight and i want to. I have a layer of fat under my skin though my stomach is pretty much flat at this point. In the gym i look much more narrow then most of the other dudes in there, and i really dont want to get too much skinner looking, but i want to loose the fat. I have definatly gained in strength but seems like the more i work out the more narrow i look. Again my arms look skinny even though it seems measurement wise they are average. I drink 2 scoops of protien after i work out, and i eat a peanut butter sandwich before i work out for energy. I havent been drinking the protien shakes on my off days, which i am thinking about doing. Seems my recovery time is about 2 days at most on my muscles. If i hit them hard i can still feel it for about 2 days then they start feeling loose and un worked. So any advice anyone can offer would be great. Thanks in advance. I do about 3-4 exercises per each muscle group and try to do enough weight to get 10 reps, 5 sets for each muscle group 1 is a warm up. Chest - Incline press Bench press flys Back - Front Lat pulls back lat pulls seated rows Shoulders - Military press Dumbell shoulder flys - Lift dumbells strait out to the sides reverse flys Bicepts - Standing curls preacher curls Dumbell curls Tricepts - weighted Dips Tri push downs skull crushers Legs- Squats calf raises leg press Wrists - 6.75 inches forearm - 12.25 inches - largest area, right below my elbow 10.5 inches - length 9. inches - half way down my forearm. Legs are proportioned the same as my forearms. Bicepts - 13 inches cold 15 inches Flexed 9 inches long (measure from armpit) Around shoulders and torso im about 51 inches Chest 44 inches waist is 33.5 inches.

chin up is palms facing away. pull up is palms facing you. or maybe I got that backwards. Lol. Either way, just change how your hands face.

Backwards Perry! "Chin-up" and "pull-up" are the same movement with different grip variations. The term "chin-up" is to identify a supinated (underhand/palms facing you) grip while "pull-up" is to identify the complete opposite - the palms facing away with an overhand grip. Chin-ups target a little more of the biceps than pull-ups, but contrary to what anyone says chin-ups are not bicep dominant. Biceps are a synergist during the lift, not many people can curl their bodyweight.

Yeah here is a good way to remember. "Pull-up" = pronated "Chin-up" = supinated
