I have about 8 weeks left on 750mg of test a week and i'm going to recomp on this last part of my cycle.

Diet: I've been eating 4000+ calories (with minimal cardio)for a while now but been gaining a lot of size on that so i'm going to drop to about 3000-3300 (270protein/60fat/300 carbs) calories a day adding in cardio. I'll see how that goes after a week then adjust accordingly. My stats are 6'0'' 240lbs about 14.5% bf.

Training: I'm currently doing a push/pull/leg/rest/repeat split. Since I'm adding in cardio, reducing calories, and not trying to pack on muscle like i was before, do you think I should change up my split to something like one bodypart per workout, so each workout will be shorter and less volume and I can add about 20-30 minutes of medium intensity cardio after my workouts, and 45min-1hr cardio on rest days.

My Goals for the end of this cycle would be to drop 5lbs down to about 235, gain a bit of muscle, at a minmum retain my strength and shed some bodyfat.

I thinking of adding in BCAA's before workouts and during longer intensity cario sessions. Also going to add in a mild dose of t3 50mcg is the plan right now after a week or two.

Any imput would be awesome! I've never done a recomp before, i would appreciate any help
 
if it aint broke...why fix it! keep your workouts exactly the same and add in 3 x 30 min cardio sess. Increase as the weeks go by. dont rush into it like a bat out of hell

The problem is that when I work 3-4 muscle groups in one session i'm so spent that I dont have energy for cardio. Also I've been wanting to create a new split, when I do chest exercises my shoulder kills me afterwards (doesn't hurt any other time so it doesn't seem like a problem) so it really effects the rest of my workout so i would love to have my own day for chest.
