Shoutout to booneman77 for sharing his routine. That is what I will be using once I reach my desired bf%
Posted this on BB.com, but figured I might as well copy everything to AM as well since it's easy and can gain some additional insight on my progress.

Background:
I took a year and change off lifting. Have been on and off for a while, and currently lifting 3x a week. I plan to add legs soon, but I am doing cardio 6-7x a week so have been taking time off from squatting. Also, have had some trouble fitting into slimmer fit jeans so wouldn't mind slightly smaller legs.
I started at 192lbs (dec 20 something), currently 160.2lbs (as of this morning, will update daily)
My current plan is to cut until I am very lean then slowly bulk up to around 165-170lbs. I would say that I can end this cut around 150, ideally.

Gotta remove space in link since I can't post them yet.
I'm pretty small rn because of the year off. Main reason why I want to cut down first. Want to get a solid lean base so I have some additional room on my bulk and can take it slow and long.
Scale might be around 1lb off so all these weights could be +1lb. Have had some discrepancies by literally a lb with another scale.
Current Routine:
Monday: Cardio//ABS
Tuesday: Chest/Triceps//Abs//Cardio
Wednesday: Back/Biceps//Cardio
Thursday: Cardio//Abs
Friday: Cardio//Abs
Saturday: Shoulders/Misc.//Abs//Cardio
Sunday: Cardio (soon to be legs)
I am following my own routine currently. Doing 8 reps on compound movements, and 10-12 on accessories. Might lower compounds to 6-8.
Once I start to bulk, I plan to follow a 6 day modified PHAT routine. I still plan to do cardio because I like the conditioning that I am in and want to gain as little fat as possible on my bulk.
Current Diet:
I am following keto + IF (18/6 or 16/8 depending on the day) as it has kept me the fullest on this cut. Deficit is around 700-500 calories depending on how I feel. I plan to transition to a more balanced diet when I began my bulk, but am considering CKD. Still not 100% decided.
Macros: 5/25/70
Daily caloric and macro values: 2000-2300 calories depending on activity, 150-180 g of fat, 10-15 g of carbs, 110-120g of protein. Basically, hit protein macro (.8/lb of lbm), eat around 10-15g of carbs, rest is fat.
Supplements:
ON Whey Isolate
Creatine Monohydrate
Fish Oils
Glucosamine
BCAAs
Multivitamin
EC Stack (25mg bronkaid/200 caffeine 3x a day)
I use the BCAAs on days I train fasted. Cutting but threw in the Creatine b/c it's cheap and can help reduce some strength loss in the final stretch. Glucosamine because I've been having some aches and pains here and there in my joints so giving it a try. And, fish oils b/c they're just good and hopefully help my joints, too.
Goals:
Current - Lean out to 10-11%.
Bulk - Not very sure what numbers I want to hit. Will have to decide when I start lifting heavier. Have not done max efforts in quite a while.
