I workout daily doing either cardio or weights and some days both.

I'm about 185 and 6'1. I want to lean out a little more.

I have a 12 week workout program I follow. When I complete it, I'll usually break for a week then start over.

I have been doing the standard three sets/exercise then move to the next.

Would I benefit from doing this same routine but as a circuit? Or should I find an an "actual" circuit workout?

Also, I eat healthy but will eat bad maybe one night a week, usually on a weekend.

Any help is appreciated.

Do more sets in a circuit, 6'1 185? Why would you want to be smaller, that's tiny

Unless you're built like an upside down lightbulb, you shouldn't need to lean at this size.

Honestly you need to lift heavy.

I would implement muscle snatches and carries. Ohp and koklov presses.

1 arm presses and deadlifts work well too

Triset dumbell front side and rear raises.

6'1", 185# is the ideal size for a human.


Not too big, not too small.

Tell us specifically what your routine is.

And, you need to do yoga

You need HIIT workouts. Heavier lifting but combined with circuits that promote higher fat burning--exercises that sustain that burn for the entire day after you workout. Workouts like this will not make you bulk but create a very lean and potentially even shredded look. Also more sustainable long term. Most the guys I work out with (with our trainer) have that look--think professional soccer player body type.

Where do you live?

At that size, if you aren't lean then you really need to examine your diet. You cannot exercise enough to offset a poor diet. Some guys are fortunate enough to be ripped and still able to enjoy whatever the choose to eat but most have to make sacrifices

Why the week break?

I do a HIIT class 3 times a week for the last 2 years and like it a lot.
