Muscle loss.

so while cutting you should do higher reps?? im unclear on this, if your taking in alot of protein yet cutting how would you loose muscle if you trained till failure?

This is ridiculous...if u dont train to failure u cannot stimulate muscle hypertrophy, thus you will not give your body a reason to maintain that muscle while cutting. Lower the volume instead.

You do realize that human beings are incapable of training to muscle failure right? We can only train to neural failure. The nervous system is the limiting factor. If you hook elctrodes up to the nerve that fires the bicep and stimulate it, you could do con30-40 reps of concentration curls with your one rep max weight.

Also, neural failure is not required for growth. Powerlifters for example, most of them at least, do not use programs requiring one to train to muscle failure and many of them have at least a couple lbs of muscle on the average joe.

I think i understand body, so while cutting is the trick to keep it light with higher reps? or keep it heavy with reps between 6-8?

you will always get mixed opinions but just remember to always keep your diet and your training simple. Im 6'2 240 10% bf and I lift pretty heavy 280ish 2x6 flat bench. So to keep my bf down and muscle mass up, consume 450 g protein daily. Now, in terms of strength and endurance, I had to experiment with finding the right amount of carbs so that I can make it through my workouts. For me that number is 240-280g, notice its around my body weight. I've done 230g but thats pushing it. Anything less than 225g and I'm too sluggish and weak. So in essence, I'm just above my lower threshhold and thats good because like I said I have enough energy to handle business in the gym and not have to worry about the extra carbs/glucose being deposited in my fat stores. Fat intakes from 10%-25% of the total caloric intake are commonly used. For me, I keep it at 15%-17% of my total caloric intake, which simply means I consume 50-60g of fat daily. Anything less than 50g/15% and my joints begin to hurt and anything higher than 19% and I get fat.
My meals primarly consist of lots and lots of chicken breasts marinated different ways of course, and veggies, normally romaine lettuce and spinach mixed as a salad, tasty low fat dressing sometimes, several protein shakes, and 1 complex carb. my favorite ....the yam. Experiment and Remember to keep it simple
