Right now i start each morning off with a breakfest sandwich with toasted bread, sunnyside up egg, and ham on it.Is that a good breakfest for energy?
Also My current workout routine is :
Tricep pulldown
bicep curls( machine)
dumbell curls (free weights)
Chest press machine or benching
Leg press
Calve raises
Leg curls
ab crunch machine
Usually run about a half mile to a mile each time at gym.
Is this gonna be effective if i stick to it?

ok not near the great though
Tricep pressdowns….waste of time when you could be doing much better tricep builders like dips and close grip bench press
Bicep curl….ok, but chin ups are better in that they hit more muscles
Leg Press….try real squats…for the love of god, the leg press is good for one thing and thats an ego boost….yeah yeah you see pros doing it too but I bet you not one of those pro bodybuilders build their legs on just the leg press and if they said they did they’re lying….swuats take more muscle and are better and no not squats where you go 2/3 of a inch a$$ to grass squats where you go down as far as possible
Leg Curls….ok but deadlifts are ten times better
Well, the first thing I see is that there is nothing for your back! You need to work your entire body or else you’ll end up looking ridiculous after a while! Don’t be that guy! You’ll also need to get your nutrition in order, or everything you do will be for nothing! Remember, you don’t build muscle when you workout, you build muscle after you’ve finished! Try 3 eggs and 3 egg whites, plus 2 cups of cooked oatmeal for breakfast. Also, be sure to get at least 30 grams of fast absorbing protein right after your workout!
Give this a try. It’s a good starter workout.

If you don’t have a partner or spotter, you can use machines instead, but I highly recomend using free weights whenever possible.
