This is the routine I have just started.
I am trying to lose weight so do some cardio everyday. What supplements can I take to reduce muscle loss and when? I would assume glutamine?
I am eating right too finally. I really want to make the right changes and train smart.
I would greatly appreciate any info.
Currently am doing 3 pyramid sets with reps starting from 12 to 6. Also I do a warm up set. Do 3 excercises for the following muscle groups.
Day1 - Bi's/Forearms
Day2 - Legs/Sholders (Suggestions for excercises please.)
Day3 - Cardio
Day4 - Back (Suggestions for excercises please.)
Day5 - Chest/Tri's
Day6 - Cardio
Then repeat with day 1.
Would it be better to switch Chest & Back so I have more energy for that?
Or are Chest and Tri's better fine after a back day.
Is this a good amount of rest for my muscles?
I feel as though I am giving enough time for my bi's to rest & grow.
My skill level is intermediate. I have been lifting for a while. I weigh 296lbs.

So this and forearms can have me in an out in a hour with some cardio done as well.
When would you recommend hitting shoulders?
I'm also in my cutting phase.

From my current understanding, Glutamine helps you recover faster, not slow down any catabolic activity. There really aren't any supplements you can take that are specifically meant to minimize catabolism, unless you are into those musclemag drug ads. What you can do is keep a very good diet with an abundance of protein in it. What you can also do is make sure your work with the weights in the gym is more intense then your cardio sessions. If you let your cardio sessions rule your time in the gym, you will lose muscle.
Your split seems okay, if you can keep up going to the gym 6x a week. I use to do shoulders/legs on the same day, it worked fine for me. I also use to do chest/back on the same day, and that also worked well. I try to pair up push/pull muscle groups. It all depends on which routine you feel more comfortable with it, the question of "would chest be better after back day?" really can't be answered. All depends on you.
good luck."The only way out of hell, is through it. "

one day for leg and shoulders and another for bi's and forearms?????
You shouldn't do that.
Here's my advice:
Day 1 - delts, bi's and forearms
Day 2 - Legs
Day 3 - Cardio
Day 4 - Chest/Tri'ss
Day 5 - Back
Day 6 - CardioMy photos:
