These are not the basics, they are myths.

Do you train legs at all? You did not mention them.

If you want to lose weight it is simple. Carry on with your training programme and just drop calories. Meal timing is irrelevant, macronutrient timing is irrelevant (at this stage anyway), keep protein high to spare muscle loss and you will be set. Cardio can be utilised but is certainly not necessary.

i train legs on and off, as i find i get bored of training legs and it becomes more of a chore, i no that i should train them on the regulaur as well, and i@ll have a little read of that link when i get the time

need to make time for your legs just as important as every thing else if not more. dont think of them as a chore and in the long run will help with your development and cutting....

As above from everyone else.

Plus - I'd go for a fullbody approach or a push pull legs routine. Not a fan of the sort of split your doing for fat loss/muscle gain/any sort of goal really.

you miss out on alot of upper body growth if you dont train legs, the squat stimulates more testosterone and growth hormone throughout the body than any other exersise. and do you really want to look like johnny bravo? hit them legs! make it your first session of the week prioritise them. every muscle should be trained equally

You say that but there was some research done not that long ago where they trained one group with squats and bicep curls and another group with just bicep curls. There was no greater improvement in the curls in the group that also squatted over the group that just did curls.

There's certainly no argument that squats or lower body work should definitely be a part of every lifters routine, and that squats produce a lot of testosterone but it's wrong to say that you're missing out on upper body growth by not doing them.
