Reply With QuoteDepends how strong the deficit, how long I've been dieting and how lean I am.
In the beginning, no need to change anything. As your cut progresses, drop the higher-rep stuff and shorten the workouts; deeper still, lower the rep range and training volume, and possibly the frequency. I like to build up an endurance base and work capacity for stuff like sprint work early in the cut, then as the cut deepens I can use HIIT followed by low intensity cardio to help target stubborn fat (see "Daredevils" below) a few days a week.
Generally you drop the volume and focus on heavy, low-rep work the deeper your cut.

Preferred Split during cutting phase
As the title implies when you are dieting down what is your preferred way to train?
Do you keep training the same or make drastic changes or just slight changes?
Whats your preferred volume?
Just looking for some insight. Im debating a new split as im cutting down now. Currently I train with mod-higher volume and use the basic layout of tues-chest/tris wed-hiit cardio thurs-back/traps- fri-shoulders/bis and sat legs with hiit again on sunday.
If anyone has a split they use during cutting id love to see a layout.
