I think that is a great idea. Remember if you are cutting, your goal is to lose fat and maintain muscle (gain muscle if possible, but I don´t count on it anymore). I usually try to work on strength building while I am cutting. (No extra calories to build muscle.) Then when I bulk, I have more strength to regain muscle lost and gain new muscle. There are lots of ways to do this. Doing one muscle group per day is one of them. When you do this, remember to periodize. That means to change exercises, sets, weights used, rep ranges often to keep your muscle responding to new demands.

Hi Everyone,
Well i've decided to take a few days off from weight lifting..i think i puilled a muscle in my neck/shoulder the other day. I might need to take my weigh down a bit..i think i'm shoulder pressing to much. I increased my dumbbells from 20 to 25 pounds each..today i did my step bench for 40 minutes and tomorrow i will run ..

Taking off is a good idea.

6.7 miles is a lot of calories. Way to go.
