Rep Power: 7 | | | R8 my routine! I'm starting a cut and I'd like some feedback on my modified weights routine!
Workout 1 - Sunday
Bench Press HPush
Romanian DLs VPull
Bent Over BB Rows HPull
Standing DB MP VPush
Planks
Hammer Curls
Workout 2 - Tuesday
Deadlift Vpull
NarrowGrip BP HPush
Sumo Squat VPush
Bent Ovr DB Rows HPull
Crunches
OH DB Tricep Exts
Workout 3 - Thursday
Squat VPush
Chin-Ups VPull
Calf Raises
Incline BP Hpush
V Raises
Shrugs
So that's the above on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. And then I'm doing cardio on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Saturday completely off.
I'd just like some feedback if possible on the actual workout, and how technically sound it is as I'm not the best at putting together workouts. And also the volume, I think I know its too much but am I doing too much to the point where it's counter productive or is it still a way off that point?
To put it in context, I wake up at 7am, work 9-5 mon-fri and then train right after which would be around 6.30pm. I know that's a long time after I wake up but it's really the only time I can fit it in and I feel energised enough to train then. The Sunday workout is probably the one I'm best in but I think I keep a decent intensity level in the others.
Any hints/tips would be great.
As some background:
Diet's spot on cals/nutrients wise
I'm at 180lb, going down to 160, perhaps even 155lb. Current plan, using above workout plan is to get me to 160, after that I'll play it by ear.
Before this I bulked from 155 to 185.
Been training for about a year.
Thanks.

Rep Power: 442 | | Could you restructure your post, so it could be read better?
Just list the workouts underneath one another with a couple of spaces. It will improve the regular members in reading your post.
ROCK ON!
EDIT: THANKS!
Best wishes

Rep Power: 687 | | | Look good to me, but you've got one more upper body push than pull. Doesn't look like too much to me. I would probably alter the order of some of the exercises though, but it will depend on what your priorities are.

Would Lat Pulldowns constitute an upper pull?
And how would you re-order? I'm 100% sure on the first exercise of each workout, I definitely want those there, but I'm open to suggestions on the rest.. I didn't have any particular priorities in mind but now I come to think of it my back is probably the area I'd like to focus on if possible.. |

Rep Power: 687 | | | what I was thinking about was the bench press being first one day, but if you want it there because of it being a priority it is OK.
Lat pulldowns would constitute an upper pull, yes.

Yeah the reason the bench is there is because I've been stuck on a stupid weight for forever so I've dropped to 3x6 in an effort to lower volume n go up in intensity and then hopefully after 10 weeks I can go back to 3x8 and the plateau won't be an issue!
How about the issue re rest days? Does it matter that I'm doing cardio on the rest days from weights? Bear in mind I'm not gonna be looking to gain mass or anything, I'm cutting so its all about maintaining as much LMM as possible.. |  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
