    Honeslty why not just have a set loading pattern that keeps things mixed up. Whether you are in a caloric deficit or not, your body will still adapt.

    With the excpetion of alot of volume. I find my body dead ass tired the day after a high volume workout if I am in a caloric deficit.

    If you just want to lose weight and look like shit, then you can jog 6 miles a day and starve yourself. It's not that hard. If you want to lose fat, but keep your muscle, then that is a different ball game. Now you need that growth stimulus so that your body is more likely to spare the lean tissue, and possibly even build more if the stimulus is sufficient. I'm pretty sure most people are looking to maintain their muscle mass when they are cutting. If they aren't, then they are stupid.


    And if max strength is 4-8 reps, if strength will go down, how long does a person who is cutting do that?

    Trying to find a gray area here...
    I would try to keep some high intensity strength work in there the entire duration of the cut, whether or not your are losing strength. Really, you shouldn't lose much, or at least very little, unless you are being too aggressive and losing lots of LBM at the same time.

    If you care about size I would do some TUT, either on the same day during the latter sets, or in an undulating scheme later in the week.
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    Would it be acceptable to state (generally) the resistance training part of your program does not change significantly for a cut? I mean isn't it really more of a diet issue than a training issue?

    Diet issue yes.

    But, I do think there are things you can do when dieting that you can change when you are bulking up. Manipulating variables.....intensity, volume, frequency, etc....can be effective.

    the true here iis .

    each people respond to diferent kind of exercise.

    your body can respond better to low rep. or it can respond to high repetitions.

    thats my opinion.
    thanks

    I laugh at trainers who do "core" work using medicine balls and stupid crunch type work.


    How about you just have your person do some real basic heavy movements and not waste their entire 60 dollars per hour.

    Indeed. I try to avoid that stuff as much as possible, but do it on occasion to placate people's unyielding desire for worthless ab exercises. I do, however, really like plank variations and PNF movements.
