If you're looking to emphasize a cut then this is the split for you.
The most important factor in fat loss will ALWAYS be your diet.
One of the failures of most fat loss "plans" is that they don't account for a few things. And that is, as you lose fat and weight overall, your BMR slows down.
What this means is, you'll burn fewer calories in an hour of exercise at 140 pounds than you did at 160 pounds. And the longer you're in a calorie deficit and the less energy you have coming in, the less you're likely to move to compensate for that net energy balance.
With this program I make sure that the time in the weight room isn't doing tons of high reps and circuits and supersets. Despite what you may have been told, that is not a good way to lose fat and burn energy for fat loss. It is a great way to accumulate fatigue and have crappier workouts, though.
My focus is to retain the muscle you have, and to do more and more steady state cardio that is easy on you and you can recover from, while the calories come down.
So if you use this program with a high protein diet and nutritional plan it's going to result in amazing progress.
