I stick to simple things really, I find for my diet the biggest challenge was lowering my carb intake, by replacing things like potatoes with cous cous for example. I've also massively upped how much fibre I eat (vegetables, salad etc) which helps me stay full. I followed a lot of vegan recipes to help me explore different vegetables too.
As for workout routine, I follow a book by Jim Wendler called 5/3/1. I highly reccomend it to anybody looking to improve their strength and/or fitness. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I use his routine followed by HIIT on a stationary bike (I hate running) for about 20 minutes. Doing the weights first uses up my energy stores then when I do the bike there's only fat left to fuel the exercise. Tuesday's I do light cycling for long distance and Thursdays I play football (the British kind) with friends for fun.
It does take up a lot of my time, but for somebody with less available I would say in my experience high fibre/low carb diet and compound exercises in the gym will have the biggest impact.
The book: 5/3/1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B1HOZ6G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1uhGAbH88MF08
Have you checked out 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler?
Yes. Also, I recommend getting the ebook, is only $10 on Amazon.
AMRAP = As many reps as possible. Depending on philosophy that's to failure or "leaving one in the tank"
DL = Dead lift
Crossfit = No, just 5/3/1. Reasonable summary here (disclaimer - I just googled that up, I actually bought and read the book). Very handy workout calculator here
You are looking in the wrong place.
Programming is what we mean by planning your training ahead of time, and to plan for strength progression. Most people hit the gym and do a routine that feels "meaty", but without planning, this remains at a static point. And when you stay at a static point for a while it's easy to fall off the wagon from a lack of motivation.
I recommend this book to start with, it entirely changed how I train. When you program ahead of time, it's like you're riding rails at the gym: http://www.amazon.com/Simplest-Effective-Training-System-Strength-ebook/dp/B00B1HOZ6G
What this book does not cover is mobility (flexibility) work or cardio conditioning. I'd recommend a running plan or finding some body-weight crossfit WODs to cover that aspect of your training.
220@6'5" is in a pretty decent range. Fuck that dude.
