Hopefully..

I'll keep updating with progress anyway for everybodys tips and feedback

Notes:
This workout was new to me.
It was the first time I had done the seated raises, reverse cable crossovers and I usually do the shrugs with dumbells but I was advised to use the barbell.

I didnt seem to get much from the shrugs? I think I could possibly be doing them wrong?

So,

Here are my current photographs taken this morning before work..
As you can see, there is very little muscle at the minute and lots of room for gains!

All advice welcome!

You have a good base Jordan. With your current physique 10 pounds of muscle will make a HUGE difference. You will be surprised.
