Training Change , please critique!

Well-known member
I am starting a change in my routine, because I am now gonna start lean gains. I am used to a 4 or 5 day split and cardio on rest days.

However , Martin says **** cardio :/ idk about that...but lets see, he focuses on compounds, which i love, thus making it good for me to adjust (sorta...)

My usual split was:
Monday:
Back (4 excercises for lats/middle back and I start with Deadlifts) so 5 total.
Triceps which usually include either Close grip bench press + Triceps overhead extention with dumbbell (sitting down) and One arm triceps over head extention , or Weighted Dips+Skull Crushers+ 1 arm reverse tricep cable pulldown.

Tuesday :
Chest: Flat bench press , Incline dumbell bench press supersetted with dumbell flyes, Cable cross overs, Dips for chest and pec dec
Biceps: Barbell curl (focusing on the negatives) , Superset of Incline dumbbell curls with reverse barbell curls and some hammers, if not I'll throw in Dumbbell curls, concentration curls and high cable curls.

Wednesday:
Shoulders: Usual dumbbell military press, side raises, front raises, rear delt fly on pec dec and bent over side raises and shurggs in a huge variety i change upon every workout...
Calves: Standing calf raises, seated calf raises or leg press calf raises
Abs: Superset of 25 crunches (or 15 decline weighted crunches) with hanging knee raises or weighted straight leg raises. Then Cable crunches. Dumbell side raises for the obliques and some planks.

Thursday rest

Friday
Legs: Squats, Leg press, Leg extention, Romanian deadlift, hamstring curl, Barbell Lunges and some days glute machine.

Saturday:
Arms: Mild 2 excercises per bicep and tricep with lower weight high reps, abs again, if i did weighted ill do body weight now and vice versa.
Calves: Same as wednesday.

Sunday: rest

Now , Every day , I do either 1 or 2 cardios , fasted or fed, if fed HIIT for 30 mins or close to 1 hour of HIT (running 6-7 mph)

For leangains , now this i need the CRITIQUE PLEASE!

I am a hard gainer and hard cutter...its hard for me to build muscle and or cut fat...but i tough through it , i like the challenge and i NEED this...strength is like a drug to me...

Monday:

Squats
Bench press
Deadlifts

Need advice on reps and weight in 1RM comparison :S!! I'm on a cut, so either I do something like 5x5 or RPT

Tuesday:
Chin ups (weighted)
Dips (weighted)
Military press
Side Raises and Front raises

Wednesday:
REST

Thursday:
Abs
Calves
Traps

Friday:
Squats
Bench Press
Deadlifts

Sat-Sun REST

I need advice on weights , and also please help me on the cardio aspect...My calories come out to 2600 On training days and 1500 on rest days. Following the +10% maint on training and -35% on rest days. Should I do cardio too? The guide usually says no cardio and only 1 hour of weight training...I just need to get lean with more muscle...Kinda like a Recomp, thats why I throw in 4 training days and up the calories to actually something like 15% on training days :S...but should i do cardio on rest days?...Is the split right? Please...help
 
Anyone :(? or anyone got a good solid routine...to change into Leangains? plz...
 
Made up another idea , based on what Martin says for LG...How does this look? Please feel free to critique...anyone

Monday:

Squat
Bench Press
Weighted Dips
Deadlift
Weighted Chin Ups

Wednesday:
Squats
OH press
Weighted Dips
Abs
Weighted Chin ups

Friday:
Squat (heavier , other 2 days were a bit lighter)
Bench Press
Weighted Dips
Deadlifts (Maybe Romanian Deads or just a bit lighter than monday)
Weighted Chin ups

Maybe Cycling out a bit , not only the deadlifts and bench press as i did , but maybe the Arms compounds like chins and dips? Some advice please...started leangains already , dont wanna overtrain or simply not do it hard enough...

Edit:
Also , since I am kinda trying to lean out the stubborn belly fat , I added fasted cardio for 3 out of the 4 rest days:

Tue-Thu-Sat:

40-60 mins of steady jogging or stairmaster.

Sunday is a full rest day.

Is this ok...or overtraining? I have my macros in check at 160-180g protein every day and i cycle carbs and fats acording to workout days and rest days: W.O. days=300 grams of carbs and 20g fat, and rest days is 50 grams of carbs and 55-60 grams of fats.

Someone...anybody...?
 
Google "Wendler 5/3/1."

Just did , found out that the workouts go like this:

Workouts. There are 4 primary workouts in Wendler’s 5/3/1 program:

Workout A. Squat, and assistance work
Workout B. Bench Press, and assistance work
Workout C. Deadlift, and assistance work
Workout D. Overhead press, and assistance work

Routine. You lift three times per week, using the following pattern over 5 weeks to complete a full cycle of 16 total workouts.

Week 1. ABC
Week 2. DAB
Week 3. CDA
Week 4. BCD
Week 5. ABC
Week 6. D

Is this enough for a cut/recomp? Doing those excercices but with a RPT fashion? Or 5X5 fashion?

5/3/1 is not something that is done for only 5 week. It's a program that is best used over a period of at least 6 months.
