Looking for feedback on my current routine as a beginner of 2 months

Looking for feedback on my current routine as a beginner of 2 months

My stats (in case they matter): 16, male, 169 lbs, 5’8

My goals are to lose body fat while building muscle, essentially getting lean as hell. I’ve seen some okay gains with this current routine: bicep growth, chest formation, and back development in 2 months

As you can tell this is a purely machine based routine, so I’m open to using dumbells/barbells and cables if necessary.

I’m not sure if this is hitting all muscle groups twice a week but this is my schedule:

Monday: L, Tuesday rest, Wednesday U, Thursday rest, Friday L, Saturday U, Sunday rest. Is this good? Should I change some stuff regarding the exercises I do, etc?

Thanks everyone in advance!

Two months of lifting.. tips??

First photo is 2 months ago, second was 3 days ago.

I’m 16M, 5’8, 169 pounds.

I’ve been lifting for the past two months, and only results I’ve seen is bicep growth. My goal is to get lean in time for my sister’s wedding in August.

I’ve been eating sufficient protein (100-130g daily), watching my calories, cutting sugars, but feel like I haven’t seen a major difference yet. Why is that? Is it because of my routine? Am I just too impatient? Do I need to cut weight first, then lift?

Thanks to everyone in advance !

Is 700-1000 calorie deficit too much for a 16yo guy?

I’m 16, male, 5 foot and eight inches, weighing 169 pounds. I’ve been hitting the gym for the past 2 and a half months, have seen visible bicep growth and chest formation, but that’s about it (for now).

For the past two months I’ve watched my diet and calories, and lost about 5 pounds (most of which was just water weight). Sometimes I cut sugars and only be in a calorie deficit for only a few days and sometimes not even that crazy of a deficit…

This week I’ve realized that I actually need to lock in with my weight, and I want to ask you: is 700-1000 calorie deficit too much for me?

I calculated it and it said my maintenance is 2,595. I don’t want to risk losing muscle, but I also don’t want to stay overweight. My diet has been high on protein (usually around 100-120g daily).

Thanks in advance!
