It looks great... possibly do some static holds, pulsing, and/or partials once you hit the 5's.

While losing 6 lbs... I would be ecstatic. I am currently cutting (starting my 4th cycle next week) and my goal is 8% - at 12% right now. Hopefully I can put myself on track and get...
My AM/PM splits are similar WO's... example is squats in the AM, leg press in the PM... I also do isolation "full-body" workouts another two days a week.

Ahh, I knew that question was gonna pop up eventually... I'll post them in the summer when I am cut up.
Lower the # of exercises/volume... Try something like this:

Leg press
Deadlifts
Calf-raises
Chest dips
Incline Dumbbell Press
Lat Pulldown

The # of sets shouldn't be set in stone...
I couldn't find my old thread that described my routine.. (I am on a different computer and I don't have the bookmark) Anywho, I just completed my cycle over a week early due to turning 21 and getting sick afterwards. The idea of the cycle for those who don't know was to do compounds on MWF with...
It also could be glycoen stores and water that causes your measurements to be different. That is why I average out my measurements every week. I take it you have no bf% readings. If you lose too much weight (over 1.5 lbs a week), then you will be sacrificing muscle. I aim for .5 lbs of fat a...
I was doing 5x 270 this past cycle, but I am taking (JW Bond's?) advice and treating legs (squats, presses, curls, extensions, and deadlifts) with higher rep phases (20-15-10) in my next cycle.
I run to the gym (almost a mile), and I still get good leg workouts... your legs are used to the unloaded work you put on them everyday. It's good to get your blood flowing before your WO anyways.
Usually?
High rep stages I will do 4-5 sets in the 1st week and 3-4 sets in the 2nd week where as for the 5's and negs I start off with 3 sets and then I do 2 sets in the 2nd week.
I do as much as I can more or less.
I treat my abs like any other muscle in an HST cycle. I do a few sets of pulley crunches as my exercise of choice. I am trying to get rid of the gut first before I care that much about abs.
Daxie,
Great to see your posting again - haven't heard from you in awhile.
I like the exercise selection and the use of partials. I still haven't used partials during negatives and I probably won't do it until this summer. Luckily I have some RM #'s from last spring when I was doing Power...
