I go to the gym for about an hour everyday and dont have 20 minutes for cardio everyday with lifting. Is it still possible to lose weight without doing cardio?
I weight 180lbs now and im 5’8’’ and i eat around 2300 calories a day. im trying to cut down to about 165 and gain muscle
No. You could have a 500 calorie diet and you wouldn’t lose weight without also doing cardio.
I’m just fucking with you. If you have an appropriate caloric deficit and are training properly with weights, you will–of course–lose fat.
id imagine it wouldnt be as fast as with cardio. I was thinking of maybe going to the gym on saturdays and getting in a half hour of HIIT. For reps i do 12/10/8/6 and gradually increase weight. should i stay at one weight and just do high reps instead of gradually decreasing?
Like above said train hard and adjust diet accordingly. You can lose it just as fast depends on your diet. Add cardio only as needed if you have no time.
As for your program well more important at this point then those reps what are you doing??

Well how bout you perform more reps during a workout. it is not uncommon to perform a lot of reps during workouts in order to burn more calories. Supposedly in the old days of bodybuilding, this was how they would get prepared for contests. here is an edt workout for this.
