Your diet is what counts for everything. What you eat, inevitably determines what will build. There are people that work their butts off at the gym, but never invest more than 5 minutes of thought into a proper diet. This means they have poor results and they'll never figure out why. I used to think the wrong way when I started out. As soon as I started to put more time into planning my diet, than I did training, I started to have amazing results. I realized that your results are only as good as your diet allows. Bad diet means you'll have bad results.
When it comes to working out, I've found shorter and more intense is better. That means you can't waste energy on isolated exercises that just work one or two muscles. You need to stick to the compound ones that work huge chunks of the body like squats and deadlifts.
