training to drop weight?

To be honest to lose bodyfat it is diet controlled.
Controlling insulin specifically is the best way to lose bodyfat.
Resistance training is really for building or maintaining lean muscle mass and strength.
Resistance training will burn bodyfat for up to 3 days.
The requirement for lean muscle mass is higher when more muscle is put on.

i have a somewhat related question for you. I think i told you my stats before but incase i didnt i am 6'0 225 at about 23-25% bf. my question is i want to be at about 200 lbs 14-15% bf. should i cut down first or get on a cycle and bulk up? i am no stranger to the gym and have been working out off and on for several years. which would be better to do first?

Certainly not to get on a cycle if the most dedication you've shown is "off and on for a few years".
Just another point, your training split is horrifyingly terrible. (not to be too harsh.
) I recommend reading the stickies at the top of the forum. Of the "canned" routines found therein, HST might be best for the purposes of weight loss due to it's higher volume.

Oh, diet down first.
Going on cycles when you are 25% body fat will yeild more fat gains and some muscle gains.
Id cut first.

Agreed....cut first. Seeing as how you are at 225, and I'm betting you've been there for a bit, you'll hold on to your muscle pretty well. It's the guys who blow up and immediately cut, that end up back where they started.
As for your training, so long as it's a good routine, it doesn't matter. About the only thing I would suggest is that you maybe go with a 5x5 or lower rep routine. I've always found that I perform better, and thus retain more muscle, when using lower reps while dieting. Lower glycogen levels will hurt high rep sets moreso than low rep ones.
It all comes down to diet, insulin control, and some cardio. The details of those previous 3 components can take quite a bit of explanation. Contact AnimalMass, he'll do it for you and straighten out your routine as well. (Sorry Grizz, couldn't resist)

Ok, but, either way, you are still at a much lower level than you would be if you had trained straight through for those few years. In other words, there's no need for a cycle.
