Reply With Quotedepending on you, the caloric defecit, and your program, the effects could vary. i just did a cut from 9.5% to 7.5% using only weights, no cardio, as a bit of an experiment, and i struggled to improve my performance, and did not feel "good" during the workouts. Now that im eating more im seeing improvements and feel stronger when training. Don't know about rep ranges, I was doing 4sec/4sec 10-12 reps and some 5x5, similar to your layout, and it seemed to work. lost some muscle but was a bit lax on my protein intakes which may have had an effect.

Going on a cut
One quick question. When I go on a cut, should I still continue with my normal workout routine, intensity wise? Right now my main goal is to get fairly defined. I'm not sure what my body fat % is, probably 12 - 15% though. Right now my workout consists of a heavy week, then a muscle gain week. Would it help me more to work in a higher rep range? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

So really, there's nothing more to it other than making sure your diet is in check.

I wouldn't say that, there are many different factors involved. However, proper diet is huge.
