Hi guys!

I need help cutting, I'm 26, 5 11 and 176lbs, hardgainer, bodyfat over 25% =(

Lately I've been going to the gym after work- Mon, Tues, rest then Thurs Fri. I work 12:30 PM - 9:00 PM and weekends off, and I need a good routine to stick to. If anyone can help me with a good specific routine such as which days to workout, when to do cardio, what exercises or cardio to do then it would help me a lot!

Thanks in advance!

The best thing to do in cutting is to not overdo it. You don't gain weight overnight so you won't lose it overnight either. Eat lots of protein, about 1g per pound of bodyweight, go online and find out how many calories you need to ingest daily to lose about 1-3 lbs per week, cause this way you can maximize fat loss while minimizing muscle loss. Eat 5-6 times a day, and as far as training goes, pick a split that you like and do cardio everyday you workout. I usually do a low intensity day and then a high intensity day. I walk on the low intensity days, usually about 30 min. and on the high days play basketball, until I feel worn out. But don't get discouraged when 2 weeks go by and you have only lost 4 lbs, I know too many people that quit because after a month they can't see anything different. Well, I always think this, most people don't realize they have gained a bunch of weight. They always seem surprised when they step on a scale and are like, "man, I need to lose some weight!" Same thing for losing weight, you won't notice it but people around you will, and you will notice, it will take like at least 2 months depending on you body type. But stick to it, you may like the way I do it or not, but whatever style you choose, stick to it. Nothing works if you don't do it, but almost everything works if you do.

Your routine really won't need to be altered, although rest times and cardio alterations should be made. Cardio, as well as diet, are the largest factors determining the effectiveness of your cut. Cardio can/should be done on non-workout days and/or post-workout.

A 4 day routine is fine, throw it up here to give us a clue. Diet is what needs to be focused on. This is usually why you are losing or why you are not. What's your current diet, include the timing of your meals; revolving around pre and post workout, the morning and before bed.

From here we can progress.

Upping the intensity would be rough on a cut, especially with the cut on the nutrient breakdown. I'd say volume and intensity would have to be lowered, but nevertheless go in the gym with as much intensity as possible!

Thanks for all the info!

So I'm thinking of doing this:

Monday: Chest and Triceps
Tuesday: Back and Biceps
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Arms

Then I'm thinking of doing intervals on the treadmill in the morning before I go to work, same schedule as above.

Is that good? I need suggestions on what specific exercise to do on each of those days, and how may sets and reps. Any info you can give me is very much appreciated! =)

No direct movements nor day for deltoids.

Why work arms twice a week?

Personally I use a 5 on, 2 off split for training giving each muscle group a week to recover from the training. I do:

Monday-legs
tuesday-chest
wednesday-back
thursday-shoulders
friday-arms

And I personally do cardio after I workout so my glycogen stores are at their highest when I train. Google a calorie counter or find one on here, I don't know of anything specific, to find you nutrition requirements. You basically want 50% of your calories from carbs to keep your energy levels high, 30% protein and 20% from fat. This breakdown will ensure you body will utilize the carbs for fuel and the protein and fats for building and maintaining muscle. Depending on how hardcore you are, you can up your protein to 40% and lower fats to 10%. This will make your food very bland though and hard to swallow. But find your total carloric intake for a day with low to medium activity, this will be you cut. Then break the calories down into appropriate carb, fat and protein gram counts.

Also when doing exercise I do not suggest going over 15 reps on any exercise cause this will not do anything for the muscle. Stay preferable in the 6-10 rep range, or even the 8-12 range but def. do not go over 15! Again, search the internet for a exercise plan, or here to find the exercises that you do, try to hit all major bodyparts with at least one compound movement for each area. Then ancillary movements to hit individual muscles. There ya go.
