Lmao… I’m sorry. I’m on my phone and it makes it look like it’s not working. Haha hopefully a mod can delete the other posts.
You'll have to either tag Admin in the posts, or report them as duplicates.

Is day 7 a rest day or do you just go back to day 1 following day 6? How intense are your cardio and conditioning days?

I think the routine is fine. If it were me I would probably lower some of the sets to two from three. If you're getting proper rest between sets for compound movements (2-3 minutes) those are long work out sessions. Nothing wrong with that if you can handle it and have the time, but I find that I can get as much out of two solid sets as I can from three (but I still do three sets for some exercises).

Tempo, intensity, rest intervals, all will arguably have a bigger impact on your results than what specific compound movements you're doing.

Make sure your diet is dialed in to meet your goals, and get as much good quality sleep as you can.

I’m going low carb as far as diet goes. Not complete keto but no carbs after 5pm. Something like this…

1- Eggs, kale, flaxseed
2- Tuna, light Mayo, walnuts
3- salmon, asparagus, broccoli
4- chicken, romaine lettuce, spinach
5- boiled eggs

goal is weight loss

I've heard it's bad to do flax seed because it's a phytoestrogen
