Good to see you're getting into it, however a few things: Establish a proper routine that gives you adaquete rest for muscle groups. Generally 3 days rest for a muscle group is a good idea. Right now I'm personally doing Chest/Shoulders/Triceps , Back , Legs/Abs, Chest/Shoulders/Triceps followed by two days of rest. However I'd recommend reviewing some programmes on bodybuilding.com and going with one of those instead. Common good split to start off with would be Chest/Triceps, Back/Biceps, Legs/Abs, Shoulders; 4 day split with 3 rest days in between each workout. This doesn't work for me but it could for you. Work on performing a split that firstly starts off with compound exercises and then leads to isolation exercises. Starting with an arm exercise and then moving onto a back or chest exercise doesn't do you any good. Your arms act as assistors when doing such exercises as flyes, presses, pushes etc and therefore will fatigue faster when you're trying to hit the major muscle group such as chest. Assistors usually fatigue before the major muscle group does, i.e. when you bench press it's usually your arms that give in to failure before your chest. Be more consistant with eating patterns and know your macros. It's all good to eat 'healthy' but if you don't know how your macronutrients then you're not at your full potential in the gym. Having a sufficient amount of carbs and fats is just as important to having a high protein intake. I really would read Layne Norton's cutting guide on simply shredded, it gives great detail on the overall cutting process. Just google Layne norton cutting guide and it will be the first link.
