Wanted some opinions on this. I am currently on a cutting phase or actually shedding some bodyfat to begin a cycle. Whats a good workout routine when shedding. I am interested in doing Mon-Chest/arms Tues-Legs/calves Wed-Back/ shoulders. 10-12 reps...... 4 to 5 movements per bodypart at 4 sets. 3 days on 1 day off, or M-F, a bodypart a day 4 sets at 10-12 reps. Sat and sun off. I do cardio 5 days a week. Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated. Below are my stats and my current routine. Thanks
