Workout Plans (Weight training)

Loyalty & Respect
Now that I am winding down Insanity, I am looking to really put my focus back in the weightroom while keeping high intensity cardio workouts going. I still lifted while in grad school but I wasn't disciplined. I want my college football form back. That is my goal.

I think I am going to use the workout below to get back in the fro of things and also redo insanity at the same time. 6 days a week of cardio and 3 days a week of weight training. Post any workout routines you use or have tried.

It didn't really specify. My first guess is moderate weights. I am not really trying to bulk right now. Mostly cutting and toning. I plan on being in rare form when I hit Jackson for homecoming.
 
I saw you stated you would replace dinner with a protein shake. Not ideal for overall weight loss.. It will leave you weak with all that working out. Got to be balanced. I would do a lean protein,chicken,fish or sirloin with veggies. Pretein shake on heavy days...

Don't want you passing out over there...LOL

Haven't started yet. I am going to attempt to tonight or make my dinner slimmer atleast. Protein shake and a salad or something. I don't really eat heavy during the day so I tend to throw down at night and I need to find a way to reverse that.

I eat heavy during the day and try to go light at night....Breafast and lunch should be your high calorie meals with dinner being lower...We bout in the same boat so we shale see who is fit and trim by homecoming..

I know. I need to switch. I am never hungry at breakfast and I hate heavy lunches. I am trying to reverse my psyche.
 
I forgot, they suggested no more than 45 seconds of rest between sets. That can get a little rough during bench press and squat.
