Well january,3 2005 I start my new diet for cutting up. My stats are as follows. 6 foot 220 with 18% b/f im 23 and have been training for about 10 years7 or so serious. Most of my workouts since I started have been high volume with lots of reps and sets. Over this past year my quest for size had me eating everything and trying all types of training styles. Put slowly but surely I put on a good amout of size but a whole lot of fat, which is not what I wanted but we all make mistakes. Now I want to get back to seeing my ab's and not being a slob. So I finally hired a sports nutritionist to help me with about a 4 mouth diet which will probably suck due to the fact that ive been eating everything in site for a hile now. Lately my training has been a modified version of arnolds workout with mon-back/chest tues-shoulders/traps thurs-chest/back fri-legs sat arms. Its actually been working great for me but I know that with the cut in calories and the increase in cardio theres no no way I could keep up with the volume even tough I do have good recovry. So what type of training do you guys think I should go for? oh I get good sleep about 8 hours a night I'll be eating every 2-3 hours plenty of water and my cardio will start with 1/2 hour a day and move up to about an hour by the 3rd month. I like mostly compound movements not to many machines. so I guess what i need help with is rep scheme how many days to train what split will work best with the lack of calories? oh and ill be starting with about 3500 calories with a 40% protein 30% carbs and 20% fat and going down to about 2000 for the 4th month. I'll post some pics when I take them on january 3rd when I take them

continue with your normal workout, try to lift same weight.

remember not to lower from your normal caloric intake into your new diet´s caloric intake: there are too many calories of difference, you will be starving and provoque muscle loss. what i recommend is to lower your caloric intake gradually, so your body can adapt in a certain way and avoid muscle loss, or as much as you can .
