Thread: My current weight loss routine. Please review and provide constructive criticism

Well the more cardio the better in my opinion. I suggest running as much as possible ,and looking into HIIT. The workout routine looks good ,and if you have already been doing it a month it's getting close to time to switch it up a bit.

What does your current diet look like?

My plan was to follow the male cutting plan posted on the forums:

Do you think running early in the morning and lifting later in the day would be ok? I used to do built's 8 seconds of doom HIIT, however I felt that wasn't enough so I started the other cardio regiment I made. Are there any other HIIT regiments you can suggest?

Your shoulder work should be on push day (e.g. shoulder press, military press, push press, corner press, etc).

Split legs into push and pull, as well.

Can you please provide am example I am not sure how to go about doing this

Kind of seems like a lot of volume to me for a person who's trying to lose "as much weight as possible".

Sure.

I was thinking something like this:

Mon: Upper Push

-Flat BB Bench (Horizontal)
-BB Military Press (Vertical)
-accessory work

Wed: Lower Pull

-BB Deadlifts
-DB Unilateral Romanian Deadlifts
-accessory work

Fri: Upper Pull

-Pullups (Vertical)
-BB Bent-Over Rows (Horizontal)
-accessory work

Sun: Lower Push

-BB Back Squats
-DB Bulgarian Split Squats

This is a pretty low volume program, but it's just to give you the idea of what I meant.
