Doug's 6 Day Cutting Routine

I don't suggest any extra, David, but if you find this is working and you can keep it up, then go with it. As long as your nutrition and sleep are on point, I believe this has potential to serve you very well!

I recommend at least six weeks so you have time to gauge progress and results. I believe there have been people that used it as long as 12 weeks, though.

Hi Richard, yes you can. As long as you can maintain a conversation, you should be fine.

Hi Douglas, use a weight that feels moderately heavy but enough that you can complete the reps with proper form. If you can do two more than the recommended rep range, go heavier. I hope that helps.

Hi Prithish, training six days in a row is not recommended. Even if it meant training five days a week, that rest day mid-week would be much better for you and increase the chances of success than trying to power through six workouts in a row. You could train three days in a row, take a rest day, train for two days in a row, take Sunday off, then simply pick up the next week with the next scheduled workout instead of starting over.

30 minutes on the treadmill post training is fine, but I actually suggest doing cardio first thing in the morning either instead or if you train low intensity, in addition to that post-workout treadmill work. I hope this helps. Thanks for reading M&S!

Hi Joe, it depends on the goals you have. M&S is focused more on physique development, but we do have other programs that could serve you well for golf. Many of them are at the link below. We could have something for you there.

Hi Marc, low intensity cardio could a walk or a moderate speed on a cardio machine. You should be doing some form of movement but easily capable of having a conversation. I hope this helps!

Hi Pam, great question. 2 seconds negative (lowering the weight), 1 second pause, 2 seconds positive (lift the weight). I hope this helps.

It can be, but the results may vary. I am usually in favor of recovery, though. So, I say go for it, Eshamm.

Both. The wide grip upright row works the traps and rear Delts with some support from the biceps and other upper back muscles. The link takes you to a video demonstration.

The listed exercise is the way to go on this. You can take the name and search it on our database to see the proper way to do it.

On my end, I will advise my editor on this and see if we can get this fixed.

Hi Sriii, I am Roger. As long as you feel comfortable with the routine, I think you would be fine. Just don't neglect your recovery.

Thanks for reading M&S!

Hi Lashelle, I see and understand the concern. I think 30 minutes of HIIT could still yield solid results for you. Give it a go, and check back in with updates or more questions if you have them.

Also, thank you for what you do and for reading M&S!

Hey George, the time it takes to transition to the next exercise, plus 30 seconds. Hope this helps!

This should help you out with creating a nutrition plan that works for you.

Hi Ali, Good Mornings are a lower back exercise. However, you can add hyperextensions if you like.

Hi Vishal, sorry for the simple answer, but yes it will help you. Take it on as is. Best of luck, and feel free to check back in with progress updates if you like.

Hi Bre, it sure can. Men and women can both use this program, and as long as your nutrition is on point, you will maintain your muscle.

Hello Aravindh, this will definitely help with the fat loss so you can get closer to looking shredded. You might get a little stronger on this, but I would focus on the fat loss first, then find a strength plan to help you get the power.

Hi Noah, will leave this up for Doug to share his thoughts, but I think as long as your calories are where you need them to be, and some of those calories are around your training, you would be fine.

Check back in, and let us know if you have questions or want to share progress. Thanks for reading M&S!

Hi Jerry, if that helps you stay consistent, that is what matters most. It may not yield the same results, but it can still help you move forward and make progress.

Props and respect for finding a way to get it in. Thanks for reading M&S!

Hi Kelly, that would make it a 9-10 week program, and I think you could do it. Makes sense to me.

Hey Dan, it can be repeated, or you can find a new program based on your new goals. If you choose the latter, let me know and we will see what we can find.
