[wake_up]

Hello all, Im on a weight loss diet and i would like to know if it's ok if i train between 5 and 12 reps and still lose weight? or would i have to do between 12 and 20 repetitions in order to lose weight and get definition?

I would like your comments on this

The weight training portion of cutting is minimal in comparison to the cardio. Just stick with your typical training routine, same sets, same reps, same lifts. Cardio is the key to losing weight, with a proper diet of course.

Stick to between 5 and 12 reps to maintain muscle mass and don't be afraid to go heavy from time to time to help preserve muscle mass. Keep pushing yourself as well and change up your routine before you start dieting.

be careful not to accidentally overestimate the weight and only get 11 reps.. you might baloon up to 300 overnight
