Am I doing it correctly this time?

Ok well I've been attempting to bulk for about 5 months but I botched it up big time and probably put on more fat than muscle. So I've decided to get back to basics and do everything properly this time...no stuffing around :)

I just need to know if this sounds good for a basic workout and nutrition for cutting (I'll be following it with a sloooow bulk):

Workout:

(this is the one posted by Overload...thanks :) )

Monday: Legs
- squats x 2
- leg press x 2
- stiff-legged deadlifts x 2
- calf raises x 2

Wednesday: Chest/Tris/Shoulders
- flat bench press x 2
- chest dips (lean forward) x 2
- shoulder press x 2
- tricep pushdowns x 2

Friday: Back/Bis
- deadlifts x 2
- T-bar row x 2
- chins x 1
- pullups x 1
- curls x 2

I'll also be doing HIIT in the mornings about 5 days/week (I started this morning and was stuuuffed....shows how unfit I've become :O )

Daily Nutrition:

Thanks for any feedback guys...I'd really like to do things properly this time since I went from a small frame with not much muscle to a fat frame with skinny arms and not much more muscle...erk.

the principle is there, but personnaly i think that it is way too light, atleast for myself, i would say add more stuff to your workouts, as in if you only have 3 days a week to workout i would be putting atlest 30 sets on each of those days, you are putting only 8.... but then again lots of people tell me i overtrain so maybe i am wrong


in any case good luck

this program works well for overload due to his body type and his age, i would suggested adding abit more volume to it, and do hiit 3 times awk

When you say "more volume" do you mean more exercises or more sets of those exercises? If it's the latter how many sets would you suggest?

thanks

Avoid training to failure.

Well I'm half way through my first cutting day and I'm soo hungry :S....got a headache too...not sure if that's related...aahh

Why avoid training to failure? I've read from several sources that it's good to fail on the 8-12th rep...this is why I find bodybuilding confusing sometimes. Everyone seems to have different opinions on how to do things....hmmm
