veteran brothers---help me out here??!?!

Gentlemen--

Got a few Q's about my cutting phases--

I have been cutting for the past few months, while using hot rox--
i do 40 min of cardio in the morning on an empty stomach
(I have been attending a spin class with instructor for the past month, but need to take a little time off from that)

Then working out in the pm after work, & following my weight workouts with 20-25 min of cardio. I have been doing the 2 a day cardio for about three weeks. I immediately follow my weight training with a muscle-milk protien shake.

My diet is fairly-clean & on-track for cutting.

my questions are:

1) Is this to much cardio, or should i do more

2) Should i be drinking the protien shake in between weights & cardio?

3) should i include creatine while cutting?



Supplements are as follows;

Hot-Rox fat burner, taken as suggested--
Myoplex meal replacement shakes (2 a day)
Mucle milk after weight training.
Super-glutamine GNC suppl.

I take only 10g. of creatine per week currently.


Going to cut for another 20 days (or 1 bottle of hot-rox)
then bulkin up.

Doing that cardio after weight lifting is probably taking off more muscle mass then fat. Assuming that you are not trying to get super cut I would drop the cardio post weight lifting and spare the muscle.

i was thinking of using hot rox myself. Do u like them? and are they working? thanks

I would say drink the shake prior to working out, works much beter, then have one after cardio as well, plenty of time should have passed between shakes

no dont use creatine while cutting

and are you doing to much cardio? well i have no idea what you look like nor do i know how much you weigh, ur height and ur bf% or i might be able to help u determin this

5'8"

186 butt naked in the morning
i would guess 10-12% bf right now.


i am doing this cardio 4 to 5 days a week.

Strength has decreaced slightly, but i have dropped 15-20 lbs, in the last 2 months. I notice strength loss in my lower body core lifts especially. Squats & deads to be clear. My bench press has decreased also, but my power cleans, biceps & back are stronger?

i dont seem to be loosing to much muscle mass, my weight seems to be the same, just getting more cut.

for those who are interested--
hot-rox works very well, but i seem to be very agressive while taking it. angry/agitated, throwin F' bombs everywhere.

I dont know if its the stimulants, or the increased production of T3 that it produces.
