because weight lifting made me bulky

Such an amazing inspiration!!! I'm lifting 3 days a week split routine.

Do you think you could share your routine with us? I'm terribly curious!

Sure, 4 day split for me. I lift as heavy as I can that particular day.

Day 1.
Deadlift 5x5 (Usually somewhere between 155#-185# depending on how I feel... Eating at a deficit, I don't expect gains but they are definitely welcomed.)
Pull Ups are good too if you can (:

Isolations:
Lat pulldown close grip 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Seated cable row 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Bent DB Row 3 sets of 8-10 reps
10 minutes HIIT on eliptical

Day 2.
Bench 5x5

Isolations:
Skullcrushers 3 sets of 6-8 reps
Hammer Curls 3 sets of 6-8 reps
Wrist Curls 3 sets of however many it takes until i feel like i'm going to drop the weights
Concentration Curls 3 sets of 6-8 reps
Tricep pulldown for 3 sets of 6-10 reps for burnout (until you can't go anymore)
Pec flies machine for 3 sets of 6-10 reps for burnout
10 minutes HIIT on eliptical

Barbell Squat 5x5

Isolations:
Standing Calf Raises 3 sets of 12
1 Legged Hamstring Curls 3 sets of 6-8 each leg
Seated Calf Raises 3 sets of 8-12
& for burnout on leg day I'll either do:
Zercher Squats 5x5
or
Grab 2 25lb plates and lunge around the gym until I feel like I'm going to fall over.
NO CARDIO!
