Arnold-esque Superset Cutting Routine

[TorqueGTR04]

Trying to figure out a good workout plan for this summer when I try to cut up. Got the idea to do an antagonistic supersetting routine based on Arnold's old workouts. Just wondering everyone's thoughts on this workout and what adjustments could be possibly made to it.

My goal is to maintain muscle mass and burn bodyfat. I'm going to be cutting calories to around 2,500 a day, which is about 500-600 under maintenance.

I'm really excited to do this workout - my only concern is that maybe the volume is too high to do on a low carb diet (will be carb cycling, with 1 high carb day per week). Thoughts? Changes to make?

I think volume is to high but that's me

 

[ZiR RED]

Base it on movements.

Chest to traps/rhomboids (chest presses, dips, flyes vs. over hand rows and rear delt movement)

Ditch the smith machine work. Do a free weight front squat.
Trade the leg curl machine for swiss ball leg curls. Make sure you are maximizing the "squeeze" in the leg extension to work the VMO - don't lift w. your ego.

Over head press and pull ups (delts and lats).
Or lateral raises and shoulder extensions.
Super set shrug with scapula depressions.

Treat your arm day (small single joint movements) like the ancillary day it is. Add in external rotations and bridges/planks.
