This is what I did to get from 6'4" 240 to 6'4" 220. I changed my weight routine to higher reps and lower weights. SO now I do 4 sets of each exercise as follows increasing the weight with each set.

1st set = 20-25 reps
2nd set = 13-15 reps
3rd set = 11-12 reps
4th set = 8-10 reps

I kept the muscle but lost bulk. I added cardio 3 times a week with 30 minutes each time and saw immediate results.


Looks good to me, and I'd add that after 8-10 weeks of this regimen you should go back to lower reps/higher weight/more protein+carb intake if you want to maintain a level of strength close to where it is now.

As you probably know, only the most dedicated professional bodybuilders are disciplined enough to lose fat while maintaining their muscle mass... the rest of us mortals can follow 8-10 week alternating programs like what I mentioned above.
