I am looking to add/maintain muscle/strength while I am cutting down. What do you think of this routine:
monday - squat, legs
tuesday - incline, db bench, shoulders
wednesday - snatch, back
thursday - clean, front squat
friday - bench, incline db, triceps
I am thinking of doing either 4x8 or 4x6...not sure yet. What do you all think?
maintaining muscle mass while cutting down is waaaay more dependent on your diet. have a good clean diet and high reps on a solid program w/ morning cardio and you should get pretty cut.
I would do something more basic, use recovery time efficiently, train every other day maybe, I would use a 6 to 8 rep range even while cutting this will give your muscles a reason to maintain fibbers as already mentioned look more in to your dietQuote:

Biceps 4-6 sets 2-3 exercises.
Back 7-9 sets (depending if your working trap) 4 exercises.
Legs 6-8 sets 3-4 exercises.
Calves depends.
No kick backs, concentration curls, one arm this, one arm that, just big basic movements deads, squat, leg press, krushers, bar curl, ect ect
Definitely would not work for me.
