I'm 6'0, 193 lbs. My BF% is high (20 to 25).
I started my workout since three weeks ago, but I haven't seen a significant progress in terms of fat loss, but have built notable muscle mass, mainly in my arm area. This is the workout routine I follow each week. Can you critic me on what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong? I won't go in details on what specific machines and lifts I use on each body part as they vary each week, but I will tell you that on each muscle part, I usually use 3 different type of lifts/machines, and do 4 sets on each (20 rep on first with lightest, 15 rep with medium weight, and then 12 rep with little heavier, and then 8 rep with the heaviest). Thanks!
