Hey guys! Its me posting up my new cutting routine, hoping to get some comments and advice ;) Well Basically im doing full body workout, similar to T-Nations article on full body. Using rep/sets of 5x5, 4x6, 3x8. For my squats,lower back extensions and my calf raises Im doing different rep/sets, im doing 10x3. I was trying to do the same rep/sets but it just wasnt working out, if i did it with normal weight, i wouldnt feel anything... if I added good weight, I'd strain and wouldnt do it properly. So i just modified that.

I switch order and excersises each week, to keep the body guessing. I work out 3x a week [Monday, Wednesday, Friday]. Do some light interval training [sprinting] on Tuesday and Thursday.

Opinions? Comments? Advice? Thanks in advance guys!
 
You need deadlifts and rows, regular rows...bent over rows, pendlay rows, seated rows, t-bar rows, etc...not upright rows, in fact I would take out the upright rows.

Deadlifts. Different types.

Get the squat down too, keep trying or ask someone for help.

I really wouldn't military press every workout, I would limit it to once a week, should injuries (usually from too much pressing) are no fun, trust me.
 
In my honest opinion, I think what you consume in your diet has more to do with "cutting" than your actual workout routine.
 
drop all the isos if your cutting your on a defecit so you are not going to gain any muscle,all you need to do is preserve the muscle you have,so just do compounds your tris and bis will still get enough work.
 
Could someone point me in the direction of some videos or pictures or something to show me how to do ROWS? The only rows I know how to do properly are Upright Rows, which is why they are the ones Im doing... And I took deadlifts out of the routine, and good mornings, because even though i know they are great excersises, I wasnt 100% sure I was doing them right <not sure of my form> and I was getting a small pain in the lower back, so i stopped before getting injured. Maybe point me to some pics too of proper form for deadlifts? Thanks guys!
 
I agree that the diet is more important, but for the sake of the routine...

check this out



click dorsal view and click on his back, you can find pretty much any exercise done in good form here
 
Thanks for the link... Also, I dont do benchpress first for a specific reason, just sort of always happens that way :p Is that bad though?
 
Yup. Because workout after workout the most intense exercise will always be your first, and that'll lead to imbalances. Not to mention that your volume must be really low to workout every muscle 3x a week.
 
Im doing 5x5, 4x6, 3x8 rep/sets... I'll switch it up between workouts, maybe one day military press, another squats, or rows... Love adding variety to my routine :D
