I know it's mostly diet, which I slacked a bit the past few days, but I'm forcing myself back on track. (mainly bescause we ran out of healthy stuff to eat.)

So I need exercises for a few parts of my body, videos are welcome!

Heres what I need:

Obliques, to get rid of manhandles.

Lower abs, the only part of my abs that are taking forever to tone.

And maybe some butt workouts.

But feel free to add any to like chest, shoulders, back, and so on.

Targeting certain areas of the body with certain exercises will not burn fat in those specific areas.

Personally. I always do holy crosses (high school football coach called them that) for my lower abs. Lay on your back with your arms spread (as if on a cross, imagine the concept). Raise your legs in the air and do the following for one rep:

Bring heels with in six inches of the ground while keeping legs straight in the following places. A lot of this will require rotating your hips, that's fine, just remember to keep your legs straight and don't touch the ground.
Left hand
Left hip (yes i know you can't keep legs straight and touch your left hip, just go perpendicular to it)
Halfway between hip and straight down (straight down refers to when laying flat with feet directly below you)
Straight down
Right hand
Right hip
45 degree right (same as the halfway)
Straight down

That's one rep. Do 5 of these and you should feel the burn. If you can't put hands to the side, then put them under your butt.

Try that for your lower abs.

Have a video of it? I'm probably over thinking how to do it.

Best thing for all that is some good dieting.

Try eating more.

Eat more throughout the day, but smaller portion sizes, it is working for me.
Also have a lot of water throughout the day.

I got the meals down, I'm just eating shitty food like pizza.

[kingJurzy]

There is your problem, you can not give yourself "breaks". If you want pizza, make it yourself. I used to love chicken teryaki, not i make my own sauce for it, and control the ingredients that go in it (a lot less sugar).

Making pizza is not hard, find a few dough recipes, try them out, hold back on the cheese and pepperoni, and use pasta sauce for your sauce (my opinion).
If you learn how to cook, it will be easier to track what is in your food and what you can cut out.

Water before meals help

Yeah I drink a ton of water. I think part of the reason I was eating the pizza was that we were out of most healthy meal stuff at my house. But otherwise I've got it down.

Now time to hit my 165 weight

Wouldn't recommend if you have a very weak lower back.

I could make one. It's a been a little while since I specifically targeted my lower abs. I'll try to remember to make one next time I do them (abs and core days are tuesdays and thursdays)

[G4paintballer]

Thanks. My ab days are usually on fridays with the legs.

But since I can only go to the gym once this week I'm doing most of my stuff Wednesday

dead thread?? w/e heres a good place to start http://www.bodybuild.../1/muscle/chest

Here is what I would do,and what my doctor recommended:
Make a normal meal,not a diet meal.Eat half of it,wait half an hour,and if you are starving,eat the other half.If you aren't hungry,good for you.
Chew bites of food slowly at least ten times,take a sip of water,wait 5-10 seconds,repeat.This should fill you up faster,or make you full sooner.
When you are hungry,drink a full glass of water.That should fill you up some.
Try this:Instead of eating three meals and 1-2 snacks a day,eat a medium snack(organic granola,SMALL bowl of sugar-free cereal,etc.)every 1-2 hours.
Limit the time that you can eat.Basically,say that the kitchen is open from 7am-7pm.

I usually stop eating before 8 or 9pm. And I eat more smaller meals, and fruits as a filler.
