Reply With QuoteI'll say the same thing as I did in another similar post. As you already seem to know, diet is key to cutting. Also, from what I've learned, doing heavy, but short, workouts on a cut is key to preserving as much muscle as you can.
You had mentioned about doing 6 or 7 reps to failure, but I don't think that would be a good idea on a cut, seeing as though you're going to be on limited amount of energy. It's not really a good thing to do even when bulking (to a certain degree).
As for the routine itself, I might try and split it up in to two different ones, and then alternate. Something simple, like:
Routine A:
Squats
Rows
Bench
Routine B:
RDLs
Overhead Press
Chins
With accessory work at the end of each.

Next step, some cutting lite?
OK so it's been 2 months I think and it's time to change it up.
Since I haven't perfected the diet I think that's the next step. Should I just keep my routine as is and stay at the weight levels I'm doing or should I still try and increase the weight every week or so? Or maybe change the routine up with new stuff? I was looking at cowpimp's whole body stuff and I like that idea. Never did like the feeling of doing one area of the body, and having that all stiff or sore for a day or two while the rest of me is comparatively limp and noodle like. Feels too weird. I like compound exercises.
Routine: all 4 sets of 10 reps with the goal of finding the weight level I can only do, say, 7 or 8 reps at the end. Will get to doing 6 or 7 reps to failure eventually.
squats
bent over rows
romanian deadlifts
bench press
calf raises
overhead presses
crunches ('cause I like 'em)
ellipical for cardio
I'm at roughly 50lbs for all those except the overhead press, that's 30lbs.

By accessory work, I mean lifts that you add in at the end for "fun" or to target a lagging area. So from your choices, I'd consider crunches and calf raises "accessory work."
Not sure what others might think.
