Reply With QuoteI start phase 2 of my cutting diet tomorrow. I lost 17lb over 13 weeks but in weeks 10 to 13 my losses slowed down and my weight seemed to stall at 168lb. I took 4 week off the diet and increased my carbs and hit the weights hard and heavy for that period. Have you any advise on training whilst cutting to prevent muscle loss and increase fat burning. Some people train the same on a cut but others modify their lifting, where do you stand ?

Just have to open your mind and say fuck it for the next 8, 10, 12 weeks and give shit a try. Like Dante Trudel (DOGGCRAPP) says, "get freaky with it".

Yep. If you've been training for 25+ years like me, what's a few weeks for a little experiment, right? I always look forward to switching things up a bit. Good luck with the variation. Originally Posted by Anabolic5150

I'v been doing a push, pull, leg split for the past 2 weeks now and I am realy finding to be a very effective way of working. I only do 3 movemrnts per workout on a 5x5 system. When I reach 7 reps on the last set I increase the weight by 5lb.
Push
30 deg incline db press
seated db shoulder press
weighted dips
pull
rack pulls
close grip t-bar row
pull downs
legs
squats
stiff leg deadlift
calf raise
The workouts are short but intence. I will follow this programme until I stop making progress then I will switch thing around, maybe increase the reps and reduce the set and possibly addd a second movement for each muscle group eg. 3x8 inc press followed by 2x12 flys.
There is a guy in the gym I use who trains 2.5 hours per session 4 days a week. He wasn't too happy when I sergested that he was wasting most of his time and he would quickley become burned out and over trained. His reply was that I would never see any progress training for 45-60 mins 3 times a week. I guess time will tell !!!
