Question to you, or anyone who knows, which is better out of chicken thigh and breast? A butchers near me has breast very cheap at £5/kg and it's fairly good quality. Not sure what the thigh price is, but nutritionally which is better for bulking?

All I know is that the fat content is higher. And fat is obviously more kcal per gram.
No squatting, no overhead work, poor exercise placement and poor exercise selection. Zero free weight pulling work and far too much pressing. Your 'lower body' day is atrocious.
Do starting strength or stronglifts 5x5 till you plateau on those and then do something like 5/3/1. Training (especially for sports/performance) does not need to be complicated.
Hey guys. I've been working out on and off for a year now and thought it time to add some structure to my workouts. Can you criticise/add some improvements? I do MMA on wednesday and friday so i only got one lower body day. (going for hypertrophy style workout) (I'm 17,5'11) Done casual free weights etc. weights should be 60% of 1RM? also any help on how to calculate that?)
Upper A Bench Press 5x5 Chins 50 or as many as you can do in 10 mins Power Cleans 5x3
Lower A Squats 5x5 Leg Press 5x10-12 Stiff leg deadlift 5x10
Upper B Press 5x5 Barbell Rows 5x10-12 Power Cleans 5x3
Lower B Deadlift 5x5 Good Morning 5x10-12 Leg Curl 5x10-12
Do the workouts in sequence as many days per week as you like. Add in ab work 2x per week. Ab work must include some form of sit up and some form of leg raise. Shoot for 100 total reps. Also include 2x short conditioning sessions (less than 15 mins). Sprints are ideal for this. Shoot for 5 total sprints of 5-100 metres, take plenty of rest between sprints.
Coupled with 30 mins of HIIT after every session.? (RT= Rest time between sets)
How long have you been training? You should cut it down to just the basic compounds with maybe some dips/pulls. There's no need for all these isolations if you're just starting, and you should bring the rep number down to 5-8 and try to train your CNS response with some heavier weights.
Went to the gym for the first time ever, I basically just tried out pretty much every piece of equipment/machinery to familiarise myself with it all. Whole body is aching.
I'm planning to go gym Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I work on weekends. Monday - Chests and Legs Wednesday - Arms and Abs Friday - Shoulders and Back
Does that sound alright or is that too little? Should I do more than that? Obviously I want to do as much work as I physically can without overdoing it.
You would get the most response with high frequency, low volume and high intensity training. Programs like Starting Strength or Stronglifts. After you get rid of body fat after you finish the program, you'll have a body similar to that. Probably a bit bigger.

Remember to wash your hands.
Have a look in the TSR Muscle building thread. There'll be loads of advice for newbies there.#
Yep, I advise you do sets of 20 whilst leaning back on a swiss ball, really develops your upper-lower core too. Biceps + six-pack = hench. Soon enough you'll be beasting 10KG. No need to thank me. Good luck.
There's no such thing as right reps for your age. Muscle building is in the range of 8-12 reps, 3 sets should be fine. You need to increase the weight every time you can manage 3x12 at least so one 5kg DB is a but useless

Don't listen to the other meat heads on here, don't go above 5kg, just get toned. Girls don't like huge guys.
