Is This Any Good for a Cutting Phase?

Hi guys. My first post here. Im trying to build myself a good cutting phase workout focusing MAINLY with compunds and HIIT on non-training days. I was hoping if someone can give me a critique.

Set/Rep Scheme: 4x6 (Max OT Style. I’ve read this set/rep range will produce a balance between size and strength.)

Training Days: M-W-F

Progression:] Increase weights on an exercise once the 6 rep limit is reached.

Rest Periods:
VOLUME Trained Body Part(s) = 2-3 minutes between the first 3 sets; 3-4 minutes before the last set
Weight-Ramped (Ascending) Sets = 1.5 minutes between the first three sets; 2-3 minutes before the last set.

HIIT: T-Th w/ Sat as optional
***Progressive 'til my out of shape system can handle TABATA

Phase 1:
Weeks 1 & 2: 4 X 90 seconds work + 90 seconds active recovery.
Weeks 3 & 4: 5 X 60 seconds work + 60 seconds active recovery.

Phase 2:
Weeks 5 & 6: 6 X 45 seconds work + 30 seconds active recovery.
Weeks 7 & 8: 7 X 30 Seconds work + 20 seconds active recovery.

Phase 3:
Weeks 9 & 10: 8 X 20 seconds work + 10 seconds recovery.
Weeks 11 & 12: 10 X 20 seconds work + 10 seconds recovery.

PROGRAM:

Basically, each exercise is to be done thrice a week with a day off in between and two days off after the last workout day (weekend). These are the Weight Load schemes to be applied:

*VOLUME training with 100% of 6RM for all 4 sets
*Ascending (Ramping) Weight to 90% of 6RM
*Ascending (Ramping) to 100% of 6RM

Please feel free to critique and comment. Thanks in advance!

BTW, diet will be mainly Keto (was thinking if a CKD would do me better than TKD)

I don’t like the program you posted.
I recommend you check out these 2 articles and base a program off them.

Your doing a cutting phase and want to follow a keto diet and do a very high volume workout 3 days a week as well as 3 days of HIIT. Do you normally do this high volume of work and do you make progress? If so then go with it, otherwise I’d go with the articles I recommended.
