and keep a 300-500cal/day deficit , do you think I will slowly lose a bit, and more quickly build muscle/tone my upper body?

I am not aiming to crash diet into a particular weight, just want to have an slow maintainable weight loss and good health!

 

Arm Dumbell Row: 3 sets of 10 w/ 25 lbs

Skullcrushers: 3 sets os 8 reps w/ 25 lbs

Easy Bar Curls: 3 sets of 10 reps w/ 30 lbs

Lat Pulldowns: (underhand close grip) 3 sets of 8 reps w/ 50 lbs

Hammer Curls: 3 sets of 8 reps w/ 20 lbs

--------

I follow this up with 30-35 minutes of cardio- 2 times a week.

I do an additional day or two of 30-35 min cardio.
