I've put on 30lbs since November. I'm ready to slim up a bit and hopefully not lose too much muscle. I've been eating 3-3,300 cals a day. I'm thinking about 2,500 for my calorie goal. Going to do my morning routine on an empty stomach. Protein shake right after with my breakfast a little later. Also instead of 1hr weight training M-F, I'm going to start with 30 min on the elliptical and 30 weights M,T, Th, F. 45min elliptical on Wed. During the lifting I was just going to focus on maybe 3 exercises per session. Just curious which ones will be most beneficial. Of course on leg day there will be squats, chest day bench, biceps day DB curls, but wanting some opinions. Also should I just keep on going with the weight I've been pushing, or should I drop some weight for more reps during this cutting period?

Going to drop my creatine, and start an EC stack as well. Lastly adding an abdominal session in the evening. Maybe 20min. Anything I need to change? Add? Open to suggestions.
