Advice for getting shredded

Your diet is probably fine as your not obese. The only way to shred it to gym it for 5 yrs, bulk up muscle (not fat) and then shred down to rippling muscles.

1 lift until you stop getting sore and you see the initial big strength jump and your energy goes up, I would go full body 3 times a week for several months; 2 read and watch form videos, and strive to never do a bad rep or a weight you can't handle, injuries suck and stop progress; 3 after those first months, start to research split routines; 4 figure out whether you want to lose fat or gain muscle first, it is difficult to do both at the same time; 5 lose or gain 1/4 to 1/2 pound a week whether cutting or bulking; 6 feel free to ignore folks that advocate fad diets, this shit isn't rocket science and there are few shortcuts, it takes dedication and time/patience

Give One meal a day (OMAD) a try or maybe IF intermitent fasting

Intermittent fasting with high fat low carb is the "red pill" of diets

Lean meats such as baked chicken and fish is your protein. Unrefined carbs such as rice(jasmine rice adds flavor). Fish also provides good fats. Also olive oil or peanut oil(if you aren't allergic) is good for stir fry. Make sure to not only count calories but also count your macros(protein, carbs, fat). I use MyFitnessPal to track my macros. It's available in the app.

This is my routine: Day 1 Push day(whole body compound exercises, i.e squats and other press exercises) Day 2 Pull day(whole body compound exercises, i.e cable rows, deadlifts, lat pulldowns) Day 3 Leg day(more squats, leg press) Day 4 Isolation for upper and lower abs, obliques, serratus, arms, shoulders, upper and lower traps, etc. Day 5 Any muscle that doesn't hurt. Day 6 Rest and recover Day 7 is day 1 I do 20 minutes HIIT(High Intensity Interval Training) cardio on the treadmill before weights and 20 more after weights.

I usually add weight to my last max to see if I can 1 rep it. Whether I can or not, I lift 80% of my max until it burns. Then I try to squeeze out a couple more reps. Rest for a minute, the do another set. Repeat, repeat, and repeat until I can't.

I don't understand, are you trying to gain muscle or lose fat? If you are following a legit workout plan, you need to be in a slight caloric surplus to promote growth. You will gain a small amount of body fat but muscle will form. If you are trying to lose fat, be in a slight caloric deficit in a way that you can manage without having the urge to binge. Remember that 1lb of body fat = 3500 calories.... so take it slow and keep adding small amounts of weight to your lifts on a weekly basis

High fat low carb combined with intermittent fasting will work wonders for your body and brain. Build muscle and get shredded at the same time. Worked like a charm for me.

Look at /fit/ on 4chan. The fit autists give good advice. Just gotta wade through the shit first.

Cutting fat. Look into ketogenic diet. It means almost no carbs, moderate amount of protein, and as much fat as you want. This is the fastest diet to cut body fat.
Gaining muscle. I personally do strongman exercises. Think about lifting up a sandbag and carrying it around. Or putting it on your shoulder. Or dragging something heavy behind you. These workouts are generally very short (one exercise works out the whole body) as opposed to typical lifting where you work out one muscle group at the time. Also, you'll gain ridiculous functional strength and massively aesthetic body. Look at those pics about George Hackenschmidt, an old-school strongman: https://www.strengthfighter.com/2014/10/george-hackenschmidt-ufc-champion.html

Working out is one part of the holy trinity of athleticism.

The other two parts are Diet and Sleep.

Many people neglect one or two of those things and it severely hampers or negatively impacts their gains.

I HIGHLY recommend removing all sugar from your diet (outside of stuff like fruit) and eating lots of lean meat/fish. Eat a well balanced diet and take vitamins if you can't fulfill your basic nutritional needs. Get good sleep and don't ever stop working out. Once you get the routine to a habit and then to a lifestyle, it'll come naturally.

If you are looking for an actual workout routine, then I'm sure there are plenty of people that can point out their routine.
