well you if you picked skinny as an insult, you should have followed it as written. The point is to add weight then use the fat loss to cut. So I would follow the it as written now. Strength 1,2, Hyp 3, Strength 3. Then I would go back and do the fat loss 2 and 3.

ur right but when i got the book i was in the middle i wasnt skinny nor overweight. so i wanted to start with the fat loss since i needed some fat to lose on my belly and plus during that time i was in soccer season. so fat loss programs worked benefecially for me endurance and stamina wise.

AHH I see. I would do the rest of the workouts as described for the skinny insult one, and if you feel after bulking up you need the fat loss go back,other wise move on to something else. To be honest if you don't eat enough doing the Hyp workouts they are just like the fatloss workouts. So make sure you eat!

ok thanks for the info, in terms of eating i eat 6 meals a days with protein in each meal.. but i want to know how much carbs do i need. i was wondering if carb cycle is a good idea. on heavy days i would carb load and and on high reps ill make it low carb and 5-6 reps make it moderate carb. but i want to know how much carbs should i be taking in. im 24 5"11 weigh 180lbs.

I have always went for the 40/30/30 split, but thats me. I also am a runner so I tend to go high on the carbs anyway. I would say find a starting point and see how it goes for a few weeks, if its not working switch it up a bit.
