I made a new routine to get cut for the summer, I'm already fairly lean as you can see on the small avatar. So my workout goes:
Monday- cardio in the morning empty stomach at 9am for 30 min. Come back at 4pm do my back
Tuesday- Chest
Wednesday - cardio in the morning, come back at 4pm do shoulders
Thursday - triceps
Friday - Cardio in the morning come back do biceps Saturday - off
Sunday - legs I'm not that concerned about not having a day off in the middle of the week, I'm off school and work till September so i can power nap after my cardio sessions to recover. I'm also heavy on supplement use and eating extremely well. As far as this schedule goes how do you guys think it is for cutting this summer? Any suggestions? feedback and comments?

It seems pretty solid what kind of cardio are you doing? Steady state or high intensity? And as far as triceps and biceps on their own day im not too sure how that is working for you but i would recommend including them with the bigger body parts or on a day together to give youself more time off.

Since you are heavy on supplments I would recommend taking bcaa's before all empty stomach cardio to stop catabolism which is occuring due to running without any food preserving all lean muscle mass without having something heavy in your stomach.

For cardio high intesntiy intervals such as 30 seconds fast and 1 minute slow for an even 20 minutes wil really burn a lot of fat as well as sprints. If you alternate both of these through the week you will be a fat burning machine.

Overall assuming your diet is allowing for recovery and drop in body fat its a pretty solid plan.

Another suggestion when working out it may help to increase the sets and drop the reps to 5 and below to help preserve muscle strength during your fat loss cycle.

sounds pretty good to me. Have fun and good luck!

Oh, but you might be better off having a light breakfast before hand, rev up the metabolism
