Ok guys, took about a 12 week break from lifting and running after having lost a tremendous amount of weight. I was just burned out and now Im ready to get back on track.

I did 2 BFL Challenges back to back, but I decided to do my own studies and came up with the following routine for my next 12 weeks (starting today).

My diet is pretty standard, On days I dont run I just eat every 3 hrs (starting as soon as I wake up)... usually a half a chicken breast and a half a potato. I use ISO Low Carb as a MRP (3 times a day).

On days I do run, I skip the morning meal and allow my HIIT routiune to bun fat before I eat (Only 5 meals on cardio days skipping the wakeup meal).

I do a 7 days split... before you freak out, hear me out...

I assign all my major body groups an amount of rest days as follows.

Arms : 3
Back: 4
Legs: 4
Abs: 2
Shoulders: 3
Chest: 3
Buttocks: 3

My Reps/Sets are usually:

12 @ 75% Body Weight
10 @ 85% Body Weight
8 @ 95% Body Weight
6 @ 120% Body Weight
12 @ 60% Body Weight
?? @ 50% Body Weight Till Exhaustion

I mark the bodygroup and when the rest days have expired from the previous workout... I do it again.. simple right?

All in all, I dont see any problems here but would like some input from any of you guys. See any problems with this? Anything I could improve on? Anything Im doing just plain wrong?

If your muscle wont allow you to do the last few reps, make your mind and heart do it. Your muscles will thank them later.

Forgot to mention that I do 20 Mins H.I.I.T. Cardio every other day first thing in the morning. And my lifting is usually done about 8:00 at night (3 hrs after my 5:00 meal on an empty stomach).
