SEABEE WANTS TO CUT UP A BIT.

[Seabee1507]

LET ME START WITH SOME "ABOUT ME STATS" IM CURRENTLY AROUND 230 LBS AROUND 17-19% BF. I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING A 3 ON 1 OFF LIFTING CYCLE AT A PRETTY HEAVY LEVEL. USUALLY EVERY LIFT IS AROUND 85% OR 90% OF MY MAX. BENCH IS CURRENTLY 320 LBS FOR A 1X-2X MAX. MY DIET FOR THE MOST PART IS...

MEAL ONE: OATMEAL OR BAGEL WITH FRUIT AND OJ OR MILK
MEAL TWO: HAND FULL OF MIXED NUTS AND PROTIEN SHAKE (50G)
MEAL THREE: CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE BURRITO OR CHICKEN SALAD WITH LIGHT DRESSING
MEAL FOUR: FAT FREE YOGURT
MEAL FIVE: GRILLED CHICKEN OR PORK WITH VEGI AND WHEAT BREAD.

MY CURRENT LIFT SCHED IN A NUT SHELL IS

DAY ONE: CHEST AND BACK 1
DAY TWO: LEGS AND LOWER BODY 1
DAY THREE: ARMS AND SHOULDERS 1
DAY FOUR: OFF
DAY FIVE: CHEST AND BACK 2
DAY SIX: LEGS AND LOWER BODY 2
DAY SEVEN: ARMS AND SHOULDERS 2

I DO A QUICK CARDIO SESSION BEFORE EACH WORKOUT (30 MIN) AND DO ABS EVERY OTHER WORKOUT FOR ABOUT 30 MIN.

WHAT I AM LOOKIN TO DO IS SHED A LOT OF THE EXCESS FAT OFF. IM ALREADY PRETTY STRONG AND BULKY BUT I I DONT HAVE THE MUSCLE DEFFINITION I AM LOOKING FOR. SO, HOW SHOULD I MODIFY WHAT IM DOING TO ACHIEVE THIS? MY THOUGHTS WERE TO CHANGE MY REP/SET FROM 12-10-8-6-5 @ 90% MAX TO SOMETHING LIKE 20-15-15-10-10 @ 65%.....THOUGHTS?

ID LIKE TO BE AT 215 LBS BY JAN 1 2012. I HAVE THE DRIVE AND MOTIVATION ALREADY AS IVE BEEN LIFTING HEAVY FOR YEARS AND AM IN THE MILITARY. FOR SOME REASON EVERY TIME I TRY TO SWITCH TO A "CUT CYCLE" I ALWAYS FAIL BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IF I CAN POUND OUT 10 REPS OF 300+ I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE WAISTING MY TIME DOING 200 LB BENCH...MAKE SINCE?

ANY HELPFULL ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANKS
CODY,

PS: MY NEXT RUN OF SUPPS ARE GOING TO BE
ANABETA
ERASE
TITANIUM XL
GNC PROTEIN
DIVISION 1
FORMULA X OR FLASHOVER FOR PRE WORKOUT

I ALREADY HAVE ALL THESE IN STOCK... ANY COMMENTS OR RESULTS FROM ANYONE ELSE ON THESE?

Look into GVT. you'll still get to lift your heavy lifts, but you'll be surprised that you'll barely be able to lift 50% for 25 reps.

THANKS,
SO IN A NUT SHELL 10 SETS OF 10 REPS WITH THE SAME WEIGHT EACH SET. ONLY HAVE A 60 SECOND REST PERIOD.
WILL THIS SAME PRINCIPALE BE USED FOR EVERY WORKOUT I DO??
AND HOW SHOULD I MODIFY CARDIO? JUST UP TO 60 MIN A DAY?

The easiest and hardest is diet. Stop drinking soda and liquor You will drop a lot of fat in about a month.
Up your cardio. I don't mean go through the motions I mean get hr up to 80% of max for 30 min workout, do this 2 times a week. Fat will drop off.
Dedication and motivation my friend

Well, when you ask for recommendations - you'll get a lot of different ones.

My personal recommendation is it seems a lot of your calories are coming from carbs. I would put a lot more red meat, poultry and fish into that diet. Most of the nutritionists on this board would disagree with me but ... I have been around the world on this and what works for me is MEAT.

Honda has some sound advice

hmm, actually I was referring to this:

it works, but it's brutal!
