I'm 22 years old, 6', 180 lbs. My trainer put me on a bf scale and it said I was 21% bf, but I've heard these aren't very accurate.

My ultimate goal is to get to 215 lbs around 8% bf. I have low testosterone and hypothyroidism, doc has me on AndroGel (5g/day) and T3 (5 mcg/day).

I'm working with a trainer who has me doing same body parts back to back, 3 sets 8 reps, so my workouts look like this:

Mon: Chest
Tues: Chest
Wed: Back
Thurs: Back
Fri: Legs
Sat: Legs
Sun: Rest
Mon: Shoulders
Tues: Shoulders
Wed: Arms
Thurs: Arms
(repeat)

I'm also doing 1/2-1 hr cardio 6 days a week.

Here is my diet:

your diet seems to be on the right track but im really concerned about that workout routine you got goin on there. for what your goals are i think i routine like that is only going to slow you down. i might recommend a new trainer! goodluck man the diet looks pretty solid but i would seriously check into a different work out schedule. good luck bro

Thanks for the reply. The trainer said that you really can't work your muscles enough working them out just 1 day - working them back to back helps you get a good tear in. I am a little skeptical too - what does everyone think?
