Opinion On my Routine :)

[Darr2cool78]

Hey guys just registered and I am new to the bodybuilding scene, just started taking supplements and working out 2 months ago and I probably shouldn't even be on here but I know you guys know what your talking about when it comes to this stuff so here goes, I was wondering if my workout and eating routine is good for beginners.

Training

Rest Days

15 minutes of cardio
(Abs)
4 sets of 25 crunches
(Calves)
3 sets of 15 Standing Calve Raises
(Forearms)
3 sets of 10 barbell wrist curls
3 sets of 10 barbell Reverse wrist curls

(4 work days targeting each muscle twice a week, 1 rest day between each)

my eating routine is about the same each day and clean
------------------------------------------------------
10.30 am - 3xeggs 2xweetabix, milk, vitamins
12.30 pm - pre-workout drink BSN -No Xplode
training 1.30-2.30 (or cardio on rest days)
2.45 pm - 30g protein shake (reflex instant whey)
5.00 pm - meal
7.30 pm - 30g protein shake
9.30 pm - meal
12mid - 30g protein shake (1am bed)

I am 6ft 1 and quite well built but I also have a lot of body fat that I would like to shift or swap for muscle (lol) so I try to keep the calorie and fat intake low. I know this is a lot of crap to read but any opinions good or bad would be greatly appreciated as I know I still have a lot to learn. Thanks

I think you maybe over doing it w/the body parts being worked twice a week. You can keep your exercises/sets the same but I think you'd be better doing a slip like this..
Day 1 Chest/Tri's (cardio)
Day 2 Back/Bi's
Day 3 rest (cardio, abs, etc.)
Day 4 Quads, hams, calves (a GOOD lay day should be on it's own and wear you out!)
Day 5 Shoulders, delts, traps, Abs
Day 6 rest (Cardio)
Day 7 Complete REST day
Take your last set on everything to failure.
You can adjust this as you become more advanced but this type of routine should work great for the next 4-6 months.
With your diet, just make sure you are getting enough protein through out the day. 1.5gm of protein per pound of body weight. If your trying to lose fast, reduce your carbs just a bit but it is important to have carbs post-workout.
