Here is my workout schedule for week 1. Does this align with your recommendations @Npcclassicphysique champ - i've added daily low impact cardio for 25-30 after each morning while fasted and ensured my rep range is between 8-15 reps depending on exercise. Let me know your thoughts.@Avitoholis welcome bro but i think your structure needs work, you gotta concentrate on high reps and cardio if you want to slice that thick bro
