Thread: Need tips as I want to start "cutting"

Diet technique.

What do you suggest for "diet technique"?

I mean cutting is a diet thing the training part should not change that much IMO.

I have heard that you should do more weight for less reps to start cutting.

Is that correct?

I am very much a novice.

Cutting is nothing but creating muscle definition. Muscle definition is determined by amount of body fat, which is determined by diet. If you want to cut, then you need to lose body fat. Check the diet and nutrition forums here. Keep training as usual or add some cardio to burn fat.

^^yep! work out a cutting diet to get cut, but stay with the usual training. Maybe throw in some HIIT on off days.
Start by reading the sticky 'guide to..' and post your diet for a critique. Without proper diet control changing body composition will be tough.

Cutting is all in the diet. During a cut I keep my lifting pretty simple, like I dont do fancy things like pyramids or supersets, just standard lifting to keep muscle mass - youre not going for increased lean muscle, try to devote your energy to staying active and read up about good nutrition.
