Thread: Help me trim a little

my bad !!!!!! i thought it said help me get a little trim...

No, I don't need any more of that. One is expensive enough.

If someone doesn't help me soon, I will punch a kitten in its cute little face. Ever seen a punched kitten? It's not pretty. Not pretty at all.

Really? No one?

Hey - just catching this now.

You can leave the volume alone for now, and reduce it a bit as your cut progresses if you like.

GICH!

Thanks Built, so basically stick with the same movements, just trend down a little on sets/reps? I absolutely cannot complete a full workout. I feel cashed about 30 mins into it.

Well, here's what I'd do.

I'd decide how many days a week to train - say 4 days a week.

On each of the four days, do two heavy compounds and two higher rep movements in the same pattern.

For example, pair an upper with a lower:
5-rep squats: 3-5 sets
8-12 rep walking lunges, single-leg-press, Bulgarians, whatever: 2-3 sets

5-rep bench: 3-5 sets
8-12 rep dumbbell press: 2-3 sets

Then do some accessory work if you want to/have the energy for it, stuff like any of your neglected physio stuff, stretches, some ab/core work, that sort of thing.

You could finish up with a 20-minute session of steady-state cardio if you like; optionally you could do complexes or sprint intervals for a few minutes before the steady state cardio.

Another workout possibility:
Pair a push with a pull - same rep range as above, but try something like "Vertical push, horizontal pull":
5-rep Cleans/clean and press: 3-5 sets
8-12 rep Oly bar corner press 2-3 sets

5-rep T-bars or bent over rows: 3-5 sets
8-12 rep Dumbbell rows 2-3 sets

My idea is to think about horizontal push, horizontal pull, vertical push, vertical pull, hams, quads, and "miscellaneous". Pair a push with a pull, OR an upper with a lower like I've indicated, and aim to hit legs in some capacity at least every second workout.

Feel free to run this past Gaz or P-Funk for critique but I think you'll find it just structured enough to hit everything evenly, and just loosey-goosey enough to give you some flexibility around your energy levels.
