Lifting Routine?

At your weight/BMI you should be working out 6 days per week and running on the 7th. Do heavy 5x5 compound lifts at least 3 of those days, and accessory lifts on the others. Bench press and squats and overhead press with barbells are imperative. Something equivalent to deadlifts would be helpful as well. Best accessory lifts in my opinion are rows, preacher curls, cable pulldowns, and core exercises.

Use the StrongLift5x5. It's an app for your phone. PM me for questions.

I would personally start with StrongLifts 5X5. It's straightforward, simple, and is composed of compound lifts that work multiple muscle groups at once. An example of this would be the difference between barbell curls, which work primarily the bicep, and chinups, which work the bicep AND shoulders/lats/back.

StrongLifts has a free app you can download to your smartphone, or if you prefer you can write the exercises down on a small notepad and take it to the gym. If you need help learning how to do the exercises, the StrongLifts website has a bunch of guides and videos to teach you what you need to know. Make sure to add some cardio at the end of each workout as well, 15-30 minutes. This will help raise your metabolism and assist with fat loss.

Also, add in pullups, chinups and barbell curls, they will help you gain more development in your upper body and arms.

I have posted here before about an issue and have prayed about it. I am moving on since I can tell that this girl and I were not meant for each other. It was a disappointment and although I haven't told her why I don't see us together, I may pretty soon.

I wouldn't say anything. Let her wonder. The lack of closure makes you more mysterious, which may work to your advantage later. Of course if she asks you directly, be honest.

I go to church every Sunday and sometimes I read the bible

This is good. I would suggest reading your Bible every day, this has helped me more than anything else I have done for myself. PM me if you would like a copy of the reading plan that I've put together, it gets you through the whole Bible in one year.

Edit: I may be mistaken on the "books" people keep talking about. I'm talking about the reading material on the sidebar.

No worries, the stuff on the Sidebar is composed of posts. The Spiritual Growth section has some actual books listed that you can find on Amazon, and the RP Reading Material section has BPP's book listed along with some posts and some links to other websites. It's a lot to take in at first, we're here to help. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about the reading material.

Is English your 2nd language?

Start with the app StrongLifts 5x5. It's what everybody starts with and it will give you the foundation you need to make lifting a lifetime habit.

How many days a week can you work out and how long can you spend on each of those days working out?

Also sounds like you haven't read any of the material here and you didn't follow the requirements for posting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/RPChristians/comments/8xs3ki/new_rule_read_before_posting/

ALL posts asking for dating/marriage help must include the following:

Stats: body fat, height, weight, lifts, etc.

Reading: Which sidebar content you've read (RPC and/or MRP)

Finances: Current job and income quality, future prospects, debt issues

Spiritual: How mature you are, how often you pray, have quiet times, share your faith, memorize Scripture, etc.

If you do not follow this rule, your post will be removed with a request from one of the mods that you edit it to include this information before we will re-approve it. If you have already given the information in a past post, you're free to link to your past post unless there have been updates worth noting (and if your post is over 2 months old, I seriously hope there are!). Of course, exceptions may apply if the above information is totally irrelevant to the question being asked, such as asking about Scriptural interpretation or how hypergamy works or some other theory-based content that is unrelated to specific dating/marriage help.

What's the oneitis book?

As others have said, download stronglifts 5x5.

Use it

Although I personally can't hang with 7 days a week, you should be there at minimum 3 lifting heavy stuff until you can't.
