alright i have been bulking since late february im 6ft1 and and about 175 right now. i can stil see my abs a little but they are not like super cut. i want to get cut for the summer starting in june. when should i start cutting? in may?
 
Start within the hour That's a big cut you need
 
What bodyfat are you at, approximately, right now, and what bodyfat would you like to get to?
 
I'm eating a little debbie chocolate chip cake right now. Does that count? :D

lol, I actually ate a can of tuna, and a bananna along with it. I had to have something sweet. And I am taking fish oil for fat. I'm sure I will pay for Both packs I ate:D
 
Okay, well at 175 and 13% you have 152 lbs lean mass. Assuming you neither lose nor gain muscle, you need to hit 164 lbs.

So, you need to drop 11 lbs. Start 12 weeks before you need to hit that weight, diet at a 500 calorie a day deficit, drop your training volume down and lift heavy, toss in a little steady state cardio post workout (20 minutes) and about a month in, start subbing 5 minutes of HIIT for the first 5 minutes of that steady state post workout cardio.

Have a good cut!

are you saying just to eat 500 calories a day? ho can a human function like that?
 
500 less then maintance........tard
 
Well, maintenance means the number of calories you eat to ... um... maintain, and uh, 500 less than that means... um, you're planning to create enough less food so your body has to drop about a pound of fat a week.

Definitely don't increase the cardio.

You absolutely can and should continue 5x5 style training. Short, intense, heavy lifts, leave off the accessory and concentration stuff as your cut deepens, just keep the iron on the bar. Drop the volume rather than dropping the weights to keep the volume up - you need a big muscle to lift a big weight a few times, you don't need much muscle to move a pencil for 3x15 know what I'm saying?

Why do you think you should eat MORE food to LOSE weight after I suggested a deficit of 500 calories a day?

a construction worker needs more calories then say a truck driver
 
Another classic Danny thread.
 
built, so for me preparing for my cut and show on June 14 I should still lifth heavy as possible all the way through. I've started doing sets of 15. I was told to ligthen up and go for higher reps with less rest. Whats your take on this?
 
This will work to increase caloric expenditure slightly from your workouts.

It will also serve to convince your body that it doesn't need all that pesky muscle - you're only lifting light things after all, and in a deficit, well, who needs THAT?

High reps for cutting is a persistent myth. It CAN work - hell, ANYTHING CAN work in the right person, with the right drugs.

For the rest of the humans, well, we need strategy...

Push/pull on the same day? Not a fan of that.
