Why are you doing legs 3 times a week? You'll be worn out after a couple of weeks and not even be able to do cardio, which in cutting, is the best thing for you...don't see your reasoning at all...

ok thanks for the input... but i know it sucks...otherwise i wouldnt be on here asking for advice...

im trying to search for a routine pre built..or an example of a good one...and what sticky are you talking about? i only see guidelines and bulking tips

when i made my workout..i tried to incorporate lots of cardio to cut my bf down...as i am 23, 179lbs, 5'8", 18% BF

I also tried to hit each muscle with 4 different workouts.

so whats the general rules for a cutting rountine and how does it differ from bulking rountine??

Various Training Techniques
by Pinnacle

if you cant find something there you like.................................

you dont have to change your routine if you are cutting, some do higher reps but i like low reps and adding some cardio

[IBdmfkr]

Yes you will overtrain very quickly and end up going catabolic wasting a lot of muscle..
You have to incorporate the cardio with the diet to lose weight..
How about you lift Mon/Wed/Fri:
Mon: Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Tues: Morning cardio at Heart rate of 125-135 for 30-45mins on an empty stomach
Wed: Back/Traps/Bis
Thurs: Same as Tuesday
Friday: Legs/calves
Satff
Sun: Same as tuesday

try the iron man HIT program it is listed in pinnacle's thread 3 days awk, and it has a 2or 3 wk cutting phase at the end, read and learn, your current workout is a nightmare and has way to much volume and to many days in the wk doing the same damn thing, perfect recipe to burn out and over train
