ok .. currently at 74kg 172 cm .. for mon, wed, and fri.. My workout is like madcow 5x5 (not super heavy lifter yet) and i am done with week 8 .. feeling much stronger now. So, i decided to give myself a cut. So, in your opinion.
1) can i continue my workout like the previous 5x5 with additional HIIT on my rest day ?
2) calories deficit of 200 cal ?
3) or should i reduce weight to like 70% or 80% of my 5RM and increase reps to hit higher volume ?
4) should i include more isolation exercises ?
i just need opinion. thank you

QUOTE(low yat 82 @ Sep 4 2014, 12:04 PM) i choose 2nd option in anyday. wat u can do is, u can slot in high carb / refeed day in which day u r taking heavy load QUOTE(Armesh @ Sep 4 2014, 01:45 PM) If you do 5X5 on a cut you will fail miserably... and if you add HIIT on top that you will be under-recovering, stalling on everything, and even your progress will start going backwards. Total recipe for disaster. If you want to cut, it's better you work in the 10 rep range and do a less aggressive program. Agree with your option no 3. But still don't do HIIT or you will even suffer in the 10 rep range. This is a good program that you can do and progress on a cut: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=160947761But still, no cardio pls. thx for the feed back guys .. but for armesh , why u dont really recommend HIIT ? if i am doing it on a rest day how? |

QUOTE(-Dan @ Sep 4 2014, 03:49 PM) Why so? CNS fatigue aside (only an issue if you're going absolutely balls to the wall every single session without ever deloading), cardio allows one to eat more food, which is important for satiety and generally keeping sane on a cut. so ? whats your call on that ? increase volume with lower weights and add on some cardio with minimal amount of cal deficit ? |
