It is difficult to find a helpful full workout online for cutting with detailed daily exercise instruction, can anyone point me in the right direction, whether it be a book or an online guide?

No it's not. If you think trying to find a routine is difficult, then you're totally fucked when it comes to making any progress in the gym.

Stop being so fucking lazy.

Sifting through all the garbage on the internet to find a credible routine that one will see progress from is a lot more difficult than you make it out to be. Now someone on this forum may have already found or been directed to one could possibly help me out. I had been following Rippetoe's to gain some muscle mass and now I am looking to cut to my ideal figure.

Stop being such a fucking dick, plenty of people on this forum using the same generic questions as me have found help.

Keep lifting, but lift a session or two less per week, increase cardio, drop caloric intake a bit below maintenance, and pack in the protein.

Cutting is done in the kitchen, not at the gym.

Weight training- cut frequency down by 1/3. If you work out 5x a week, workout 3x. Also reduce the amount of weight you lift. Aerobic training- Go running or biking or jumproping 5x a week. Eat a healthy diet with reasonable sized proportions and if you're using protein shakes or supplements...stop. You should consistently lose at least 2-3 lbs a week if you're doing it right.

That's pretty much the advice that a trainer gave me a few months back and it's been working pretty well. Just passing on what worked for me.

How about continue with progressive barbell loading, ala Starting Strength. If you aren't doing that already, start. If strength training isn't your bag, well, you will get laughed at for a variety of reasons

Really though, cutting is about diet. If you're already training well, there is no need to modify your program to cut.

What are we working with here? Age / height / weight / activity level / training experience / quantified goals / etc

As someone said the most important thing in a cut is also the hardest, decreasing your caloric intake. As far as workouts go I just tend to add more cardio, but not in the traditionial treadmill sense. Try a series of tabatas, or complexes (back-to-back-to-back no rest lifts with the same barbell) to finish off your workout. It will only take an extra 10-15 minutes, but you will be absolutely exhausted when you're done.

HIIT in the morning
Serge nubret's training prog,if you can handle it
Slow cardio in the evening.
Clean diet.


After 3 weeks you might consider this

theres many answers to this question you should keep up the weights. then you can either do high intensity short workouts or low intensity long workouts. its just about work output. go on a high protein low fat low carb low calorie diet as well

People have this misconception that high reps + low weight "is for cutting". How did you build that muscle mass? not by lifting the pink dumbbells for 20 reps (and if you did, then you shouldn't be remotely ready to cut).

I never train with much volume, only 4x a week, so I just add in some sprints and clean up my diet for cutting. Worry more about body recomp., than a # on the scale unless your really overweight.

Just my $0.02
