Please Critique my Diet and Routine

[xink]

All,

First time poster - just found this site today and it looks like a great forum.

Bit about me:

I was naturally very skinny when I was a kid and have always had no issues having huge/jacked legs but my arms have traditionally been extremely small.

When I was around 18 I weighed in right around 180 or so, after high-school I got lazy and started to put on a decent amount of fat and by 23 I hit ~245lbs! I cleaned up my diet and started working out a decent amount when I was 27 and through some cardio (hardly any) and mostly eating right and lifting daily I eventually went down to 170.

Fast forward to today, I'm going to be 30 in June and am looking to bulk up and finally add muscle to my arms and reduce the fat from my mid-section and am turning to all of you for advice - I'm right around 170lbs and am just under 5.10.

My routine:

I do a push/pull workout and only focus on my arms and abs. If I posted pictures of my legs most people would probably call b/s that I never work them out, though I will say this; I live in NYC and daily I average about 2-3 miles just by doing basic errands – outside of that I never work my legs.

Also, my gym only has dumbbells – I live in an apartment building and use what we have.

I alternate the following throughout the week, I work out a total of 4-5 days a week:
-----------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------

This is on a full day with me being 100% consistent with my schedule, this doesn’t always happen though and I usually miss about 200 or so calories.

I haven’t counted up average calories in awhile and was kind of shock by my intake, though I’m looking to all of you on advice about cutting stuff out.

-----------------------------------------------------
Supplements:
-----------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This is the first quarter I've taken more than protein/whey

• NovedexXT - Anti-Aromatase - Two pills at night as recommended by the bottle
• Hot Rox Extreme - Taking one pill two times a day as recommended by the bottle
• Anabolic Halo - Cryo-Anabolic Post Workout Powder - I take one scoop of powder a day as recommended by the bottle
• Cell-Tech Hardcore - Creatine - 2 scoops right after workout as recommended by the bottle
• MRI Pro-NOS Whey - 2 scoops before workout, one scoop after workout, another scoop later in the day

-----------------------------------------------------

As mentioned earlier, I travel a good amount so it isn't always possible for me to take a ton of powder with me, to offset that I have some Creatine Chewies with 5000MG of Di Creatine Malate and I get protein bars or drinks in place of whey when on the road.

I know this is a HUGE post so I appreciate anyone actually making it down to the end and reading all of this!!!

Thanks for any input/direction you may be able to offer!
