please critique my program/diet.

If your bulking, doing cardio 2 x a week is a little much, I'd cut it back or totaly cut it out.
Your routine is fine, any reason why you do shoulders all by themselves?

Your diet is a little low in carbs and fat if your bulking.

Your program looks good but I would cut the cardio completely out because it will only slow down the bulking process

If you build it they will come

scottythebody,

the only reason I do shoulders by themselves is because I hate working out longer than an hour. I try to go very heavy on my shoulders and it usually takes me 40-45 minutes to do them by themselves.

Forgot to mention that I eat a carb-load meal 15 min after workout. Usually consits of Crunch & Munch and high carb cereal.

By the way I have another question about post-workout. I'm going on a cutting phase in March. My question is when your trying to lean up, do you just forget about trying to consume carbs on your post workout meal to get that insulin spike. Just wondered because I don't hit the gym until 7 to 8pm and I've heard that you shouldn't consume any carbs past afternoon time while trying to cut.

You will want to cut the amount of carbs you have in the afternoon but I'd say it's not as much of a problem for you as your hitting the gym late and will probably burn any extra carbs off.

Cutting can be done entirly by diet, you don't even need cardio if its done right.

I don't mean to bug you about your shoulder workout but I was just wondering if they're a weak point. IF IT WERE ME, I'd put shoulders with chest and do arms together on your shoulder day. Just an idea though, do what works for you. My shoulders arn't a weak point so that's just what I'd do.
