Ok, five months in and I've noticed a fairly decent change in my size and strength, upper body, core strength and legs to a degree (if I'm honest I've only started doing legs properly in the past two months).
I've been eating healthy, plenty of protein, veg, fruit etc in addition to a protein shake a day. I started doing this particular shake http://www.kineticasports.com/gainers-c4/kinetica-oat-gain-4-8kg-raspberry-yoghurt-p34 about three and a half months ago because I wasn't noticing a change in my overall mass. As mentioned before, the changes are more obvious to me now, only problem is I seem to have acquired a bit of a gut
It's not apparent when I'm standing but when I sit, it most definitely is. I've been doing about an hour and a half of cardio per week spread out over the different gym sessions. I think it's time to allocate more gym time to running, rowing and cycling at this point, in addition I'd like to integrate some kind of interval training.
If anyone has any regimes/fitness plans they could share I'd be very grateful

PS I have a month and a half to lose this last bit of fat, in time for Ibiza

Does your belly look like this?
Cutting is an overused term. It basically means losing weight so you get more defined and toned muscles.
While losing fat/weight, you gotta be in caloric deficit. So that 'mass' you gained is visible through your fat level now and you gotta get rid of it. Doing that is possible with
1) eating less
2) adding more cardio (hiit)
If you combine both you're gonna see fast results. HIIT with jump rope is basically jumping for 60 seconds, and then taking 30 seconds break. Repeat that for 10 times. It's an amazing cardio and results are great.
If you can't do that then you should do it with running, which will take even less time. Run (sprint) for 20 seconds and then rest for 10. Repeat that 6-8 times. Try not to die btw.

Nah it's not even in as bad a shape as that, I just need to trim the the bit I have around my navel area. That insanity looks amazing though, can you find most of the workout routines online?
Yeah most instructional videos I've watched have made the term 'cutting' out to be fairly taboo. I'd be more inclined to do running for now until I can get into the skip rope.
This guy here seems to have a decent routine using just a treadmill
Will have to do this nice and early when the gym is empty
Also, as of today I'm doing away with the protein shake.

Dule's suggestion is pretty good.
Mine is a bit more muscle orientated.
The core idea is that you first to weights
5 sets, of 15 reps, with 60-90seconds between the sets. all 5 sets the same weight. It must be a high enough weight to do the first two sets, but it must become to heavy to do the final 2.
You'll want to have muscle failure to reach final two ones.
example, you can squat 5x160kg
try 5sets of 15 reps of 90 kg, with 60-90 sec interval. You will die. You'll be sweating like a pig after the second set.
monday and fryday, do squat, benchpress, concentration curl and standing overhead tricep extention.
all of those 5*15.
after that, hit the cycles, and do interval. 20 minutes in total. 1 minute very low resistance, 1 minute 90+rpm at very high resistance. You want your heartrate to shoot up and down. like this, you got 10 intervals.
On wednesday, do leg press, lateral pulldown, hammer curls and deadlifts, also 5*15. after that, also the same interval as above.
After a few weeks, you can try to exchange the cycle interval, with running interval on a trendmill. this is more exhausting, so do the cycling first.
Lost 20 kilograms in 2.5 months like this.
1rep max deadlift remained the same, for squat and bench i lost 10 kg. However, a brutal 3x3 powerschedule, made me recuperate that relatively fast

I have some questions about supplements...
I would say i eat fairly good, getting variated food intake with plenty of fruit & veggies, fibres ect.
Would i need anything else than some whey to ensure i don't get to little protein (when at school it can be hard to bring enough food for a long day)? Amino acids seems to be one of the few things with effect, so i consider BCAA & Glutamine, but is it really worth the trouble? Should i be aware of anything else? At the same time, i don't want to rely to much of supplements, one of my friends got damaged kidneys because he ate to much whey, and the kidneys can't handle concentrated protein in large amounts... So i would like to be able to restrict my whey-intake to a single shake a day, besides, i would much rather eat food and get the nutritients from that, but if there are some supplements, that could help my metabolism without having a lot of side effects, i would be interested in finding out more.
I must admit though, that i am fairly skeptical about all those supplements, most of them, especially the pre work out ones, seems like bullshit to me, as i would much rather get my energy from having a nice meal a couple of hours before and then eat a banana just before workout and make sure my liquidbalance is solid.

unless abused i havent heard of supplements harming your body, but it's all about preference if your obsolute priority is your health and you feel that the supplement risk, as small as is, is not worth it then by all means stick with an all "natural" diet. People resort to protein shakes when they try to bulk up, as it would be almost impossible to have job/school and still have time to prepare and eat food.
I've got the stomach issue too...
I go to gym about 4 times a week with the following schedule:
Day 1 - Work on chest & biceps.
Day 2 - Work on my back & triceps.
Day 3 - Work on shoulders & legs.
Day 4 - Cardio, mostly running.
Age: 31, Height: 178cm (5'10), Weight: 80kgs
I'm content with the overall shape of my body, except the stomach area, specially right under my chest. It just doesn't seem to go away. I mean its not that big, it doesn't show with a shirt on, but I'm not happy about it without shirt.
My workouts in general is pretty light-weight. Don't do much heavy lifting, as I don't want to get bigger than I currently am. Just want to get rid of that stomach area, and leaner overall look.
I don't have any specific diet, but I'm conscious of what I eat. And I have never taken any supplements or protein shakes of any kind...I try to avoid those and be all natural.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Protein shakes are made out of whey, wich is a byproduct when processing raw cow milk into the milk you find in stores, french cheese or butter. They are 100% natural without all the fucking carbs and fat attached to it
"supplements" such as a good vitamin mix, or biomolecules to condition the muscles, are excellent for optimal muscle performance, and good to avoid burnouts
So with that pathetic attitude, the chances of silvio berlusconi beeing able to autofellatio by the end of this week are 20 times higher then you getting bigger.
