Had to set up my camera to get pics.
My Goal is to loose the fat/beer belly, and look muscular (both toned and bigger muscles). I dont care about my weight, I dont care about how strong I am. I just want to look like the dude on my first post in this thread.

Because personally I think I need to keep my calorie count low and concentrate on cardio exercise for first month to take away the fat, and then second month start trying to get the muscles etc but I dont know what Im talking about, so gonna wait for you to tell me.
GMAN!I'm gonna be following something called the 300 workout once a week, cardio 4 times a week and weight lifting 4 times a week. I'm compiling weight loss articles and the site will go live monday.
300 workout once a week is as follows;
25 bodyweight pullups
50 deadlifts at 60kg
50 pressups
50 box jump-ups on 24 inch box
50 floor sweeps (ab exercise)
50 single arm clean and press (25 each arm) at 16kg
25 bodyweight pullups
You'll be absolutely fucked after that, but it is the workout the 300 crew allegedly used to prepare for their movie. If you don't have access to a gym, you can improvise by using loaded backpacks and swapping exercises.
I see you already have fairly developed biceps, do you train them or move heavy equipment often?
I kinda have access to a home gym (my mums but its quite far away from me) but I do have barbell and dumbell set now which I can use from home. And a slightly deflated gym ball.
So do you think I should do this 300 workout? Could you give me an idea as to which bits I need to do with heavier weights and which ones to do with lighter weights? I tried doing some wieghts last night but failed because I didnt know what I rwas doing, and need a regime to follow to actually push myself.
Is there any other advice you can give me? Will I get somewhere by just doing cardio and weights? WHat should I do in terms of diet? Because the main thing I want is to get rid of my beer belly, as Im pretty sure Ive got some fairly decent abs underneath, but Ive never in my life ever seen them.
And no I dont lift weights or train, I literally havent done anything, including cardio for about 4/5 years. But I do lug around film equipment and hold cameras which could be the reason you seem to think I have 'fairly developed biceps' but to be honest it could just be the lighting because I'm pretty sure my arms are just normal for someone that doesnt work out.

Dex when you said earlier you weren't sure whether to rip up first or start trying to bulk, if I was you I'd bulk now up the calories but eat clean (the right foods) you will lose some body fat along the way anyways which will probably make you feel better about doing that first too.
I only say this because of my own experience, I ripped up when I first started training and got down to about 5-6% body fat and I found it pretty hard to put size on after that and to get enough food in to start trying to put size on, it'll be a lot more beneficial for you (in my opinion) to start training to put on size and strength now, then when you hit a weight over your target really change your nutrition and training occordingly to rip up and hopefully get a step closer to the shape you want.
How exactly do I bulk up? are we talking about getting fat? I already have an insane beer belly, which I honestly think would be hard to shift in 2 months even if I didnt eat lots of food. As it is I'm going to try and keep my calorie count low but eat healthy food throughout the day, which im hoping would speed up my metabolism. WHat foods should I eat? bare in mind im a vegetarian.
Thanks for you help guys.
