    A few stats ... I'm 20 years old, 6ft1 tall and weight 82kg...

    Trying to consume around 3000kcal on workout days, with a mix of carbs, fat and protein but trying to steer towards lower carbs!

    My workout plan is on a 2 days on, one day off system, with two body parts being worked out each session:

    Workout 1: Legs and Shoulders

    3x10 - Squats
    3x10 - Deadlift
    3x10 - Lunges
    3x10 - Seated Dumbell Shoulder press
    3x10 - Dumbell upright Row

    Workout 2: Back and Biceps

    3x10 - Lat pull down
    3x10 - Upper back row
    3x10 - Lower back row
    3x10 - Barbell curls

    Workout 3: Chest and Triceps

    3x10 Flat dumbell BP
    3x10 Incline Barbell BP
    3x10 Cable Flyes
    3x10 CGBP

    I'm recording each set every time I work out, and once I can do 3x10 comfortably I will increase the weight, for one set of the next workout and increase till I can do all three sets comfortably again.

    Anyway any opinions on my workout plan would be appreciated, I've been doing it for a week and a bit now and am enjoying it, but want to make there's nothing majorly wrong with it!

    Thanks!

    You can put deads on legs or back day. I recently did them on leg days but prefer to put them with back so switched back. If you're doing legs on day 1 and back day 2 then you could push the deads to day 2 if you think you'll get more from them.

    Out of interest do you think this routine would work on a cut, letting added cardio and a tight diet take care of the fat? The reason I say so is recently read an article that says potentially high repping isn't the way to go...and by carrying on lifting big and trying to increase, you're giving your muscles a reason to hang about so to speak, and not be eaten away as energy! I am no expert however!

    Any routine would work on a cut providing diet is okay. TBH, When cutting I dont think training has to change that much, it's just the diet.
