you are just starting! 15kg bicep curl, my god! I wish I could do that when I started but I am probably younger than most of the people here. I am not really an expert, yet, but if you want your diet sorted out I recommend you talk to Bradley. You could also add in squats and if you are finding the pec deck too hard bring down the the weight or you could posibly do drop sets. Also training 5-6 days in a week for a beginner is somtimes difficult and bad for you. You could maybe do a routine like this.

Mon-legs+abs
Tue-
Wed-biceps+triceps+shoulders+abs
Thu-
Fri-chest+back+abs
Sat-
Sun-

Or somthing along the lines of that. You should also definantly throw in some cardio maybe 2-3 times a week as cardio will help your metabolism greatly!

Hope this helps. Don't forget to get Bradley to help.

usually, you want to work each body part once a week to allow full recovery of your muscles. traning abs 3 times a week is unnecessary. change your split into 3 or 4 days, i'm not really an expert, but im sure some of the other guys will agree with me. they can help you out more with your routine.

24-36 hour recovery periods are key :D

How about posting your current diet and then go from there.:)

What are your current goals?

Here is a diet that was posted by another female member that might be of some help, or at least give you some ideas. http://www.wannabebigforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34601

More training is not necessarily better and this counts especially for a girl, who has less testosterone and therefor recovers more slowly. 3 days a week should be fine (for weights) Great how you want to go to competition level. good luck
