I really need a lifting regime or some training advice of some kind.

I really need a lifting regime or some training advice of some kind.So, I'm a 17 year old male, I weight 167lbs and I'm 6'1". From mid-October through February I swim on the varsity team and have been since my freshman year and I am genuinely good (8th in the state in my event). I have broad swimming shoulders and decently muscular back purely from swimming. I began lifting consistently after my sophomore year (I'm a junior now). I would go about 3-4 times a week and really just work my upper body (bad idea, I know). I got a little stronger but not a whole lot. I would try to increase weight a little bit every week or two and would try to get 3 sets of 8-10 while benching. Now I've been going with some friends of mine who are toned, pretty ripped, and just noticeably built and muscular (not hulking). That's my goal. I want to be visibly muscular, lose the little layer of fat I have, and be toned, not bulging with muscle, but "ripped" I guess. I really don't know how to explain it! I know it's a bad example but I want to have either the "ottermode" or "athletic" body you can see at this link: http://ereidmiller.com/men-body-types-chart Im currently somewhere I between the "skinny fat" and "ottermode" ones (again, I apologize for the dumb chart but I'm not good I explaining this). Here are some random things that you may want to take into consideration: I eat plenty, but I don't over eat too often. During swim season I do over eat but not off season. I'm also striving to get to 100 push ups, right now I can do 25... I do them every day with Wednesday's and Sunday's as rest days and I just try to max out on push ups twice. I also to pull ups at the gym, I can do 7 in a row and normally try to do 3 sets of 5. With regards to my body, I have awkwardly long legs and I a short torso with large orangutan-like arms (kinda weird). I'm not unfit or not athletic, I just want to be...hot, ya know? submitted by /u/ASush [link] [comments]
