A couple of thoughts/observations:
- The reason I said your goals weren't specific or measurable is because there was no quantitative component to them. What is "slim and muscular", which to me is an oxymoron? By whose eye, yours, gym bros, random fatties, dimepieces, your peoples? Do these people lift or know what muscular is? What body fat range will that occur at? What lean body weight.
- Waffling has nothing to do with hard work, it simply means that it will be harder for you to analyze and critique your progress, since again, you haven't associated any numbers with your goals. You could be carbed up one day and look beastly in a specific shirt and be depleted the next time and look like shyt in it.
- You actually can target specific areas of your body for muscular growth/development. What you cannot do is spot-reduce specific areas of your body for fat loss. Fat distribution is genetically predetermined; the only way to spot reduce is via plastic surgery.
- HSTs (hypertrophy specific training programs) can be very difficult to plan and execute, especially for less-experienced lifters.
- Are you lifting 6 days a week? That's prolly overkill for the majority of folks, especially on a cut, but again, it depends on what your goals are. If the workouts aren't that intense or dense (talking volume) than it's probably not as much of an issue.
- I have no idea who teaches the classes you attend at your gym, but the ones I see at the gyms I visit are mostly an exercise in wasting time. A dedicated program with fewer changes in modalities would prolly net more consistent and more predictable gains.
