What's the purpose behind your assistance/isolation exercises given that you should not be expecting any hypertrophy?

I wouldn't workout 6 days a week, and I wouldn't do some much direct arm work on a cut.

 

[malcolm383]

any time i work the same muscle twice in a row i get real sore, so i try to avoid doing that.

 

[Marat]

...so don't do that.

How old are you? because when your young 20's you never get tired and sore and recover fast but you break your body down for the future... and when you get older you realize that you over trained and thats why you have all those injuries... well thats the case with me anyways. so yes i dont think your letting your body recover enough and you are doing bis than the next day doing back which is bis also. so i think you should look at some of the stickys in the forum and research some more... but your in the right place..

Yea over training sucks... and really cuts off from the top end of life.... I'm only 26 and I know that if I'm not "on" something.... omg.... and I haven't even done AAS.... ; ;

Not enough rest. Diet to cut but your workout week should still see at least 2-3 rest days.

im 20, i guess ill back off then some. thanks for the advice

stick mostly to complex work... i.e. squats,deadlifts,pull ups, rows, bench, presses. Minimal shit like curls and tricep kick backs, etc. Cut with your diet. Hold on to muscle with your routine.

Yeah it's too much.At 6ft and only 185 lbs i wouldn't stress too much about cutting or isolation movements.

try something like this. 2 on 1 Off

Chest & Calves
Back, Hamstrings & Traps
Rest
Shoulders & Triceps
Quads & Biceps
Rest

This is the best split IMO, 5 days a week , muscles split out 48 hours to avoid Overtraining, which you definitely do not want on a cut. Isolation isn't needed, just lift REALLY heavy compounds maintaining all your strength to actually give your muscles a reason to stay.
