There is no reason to perform a 'cardio/cutting workout' along side that routine. Focus on gradually reducing your calories while readjusting protein intake and the fat will melt away over time.

High volume training is a waste of time for natural trainees. Stick to 3-8 reps per exercise and keep it heavy! The volume is making you feel like crap, also consider adjusting your nutrition.

Try Layne Norton's PHAT routine. I myself used this all through my contest prep and maintained all of my strength up until the day before the show. Also, re-evaluate your nutrition!

I myself adhere to the PHAT principle while incorporating different movements. It is the best program for a natural trainee; bro splits don't work at all.

Increase intensity and start eating clean, your body fat percentage is pretty high.

Great job bro, dial in your nutrition and you'll be an animal in a few years.

Keep cutting if you're doing a shoot or show, if not start reverse dieting slowly to make gains while staying fairly lean.

15% for sure.

Lower your bodyfat and you'll be fine.

Lift weights, cardio 1-3 times a week, figure out your metabolic rate and go from there. If you want it to be easier, hire a trainer (online or local).

Good luck.

Troll topic lol

Wasting their time lol. This is very common though.

I don't even drop 100 pound dumbbells lol. If anyone is dropping anything 100 or below they are letting the weight control them.

The nutritional aspect of the article is questionable. Since it was written in 2004, I see why there are a lot of mistakes.

It depends on the health of your rotator cuff muscles and the muscles you are trying to isolate. Here in this vid I only go to about 90 degree depth while leaning slightly forward to target my pecs....

I usually stick to caffeine pills.

Glad you found it helpful! Good luck!

Thanks for the comment!

Agreed, during contest/photoshoot prep maximizing protein synthesis is imperative. Consuming a high protein meal every 3-4 hours is ideal.

I strongly disagree, resistance plays a large role in muscle hypertrophy. Also, 30% of your 1RM induces the same results as the latter? Goes against everything I was taught in University and College.
