I finally reached 200lbs two weeks ago. One of the trainers at the gym gave me this cutting program. The thing is I have already cut down to 191lbs and I think I have lost nothing but muslce mass, strength and this takes me about 2 1/2 to 3 hrs at the gym! The reps are 15,12,10,6 with a one minute rest between intervals and a three minute rest between exercises. Let me know what you think.

Day 4 (off)
Then you start all over again. I've been looking at starting the german volume training becuase it looks like it will help with stength,a little mass and endurance. I was a marathoner for 3 years. I lose weight FAST when it comes to cutting and also strength and mass. I get my calories and protien I need daily but I get a half and hour for lunch so most of my calorific intake and protien comes from shakes (don't have a choice).
Any advise for keeping mass/strength and cutting BF% would be great. I am about 14% BF right now. I know this is bordering on a diet forum question as well but they are one in the same so I will post there as well.
Thanks!
