Good question... I was told by many to stay at 12-15 range while dieting and to use more machines rather then free wieghts. But I also know guys that train heavy at 6-8 reps even while dieting. I just mix it up and I always get good results. IP: Logged |

A neat kind of approach to training while dieting is to pick one exercise per bodypart and do 8 sets of 12 reps, in a full-body format, three times per week. You do 4 sets in a row for one bodypart, then 4 sets for the antagonist part i.e. 4 sets bench, then 4 sets rows, then 4 more bench, then 4 more rows. You don't take any sets to failure, because with the monstrously large volume, intensity would lead to overtraining. It's very similar to GVT (German volume training) and it's called SVT (staggered volume training. While I would not employ it on a mass gaining cycle, it is ideal for cutting up because it's not too intense (intense training combined with caloric restriction tends to lead to overtraining), it ensures you won't lose muscle by continuing to train, it burns shitloads of calories, and most importantly, it produces the most growth hormone of any type of training. GH is the antagonistic hormone to insulin, and leads to weight loss. You can look up this training method in Ironman's Guide to Muscle Mass book (just so you know I didn't pull the routine out of my ass or anything) IP: Logged |

use the same routine you have always used...but the last 4 weeks use high reps, in the 12-15 range... when you do carb depletion do 2 exercises pe muscle group, 3 sets, 15-20 reps. ------------------ "...damn you for not giving my TEST" - Metallica "After this show i'll be fat and happy again.....If i make it to the show...." - Lee Priest IP: Logged |

Keep rest times low. You may want to superset an upper/lower body exercise. Keep your reps above 10 or so. Yo may need to add more volume since lifting this quickly will get you out of the gym in no time at all. Diet is key, you can train all you want but if your fat lifting just wont do it all for you.

the key is short rest, good call vang, or supersets..and good tempos....ex 1a. squat 15-20 201 1b. lat pull down to sternum 8-10 321 1c. straight leg deadlift 8-10 402 1d. lying tricep extension 8-10 302 do that four times through with 45 seconds rest between them then pick another two exercises and do them is four more super sets...you heart will go..you will loose weight when doing cardio on off days with it...this is a poliquin principle...he is good...

Poliquin principles are ideal for cutting because the rest times and volume will maximize GH - the fat loss hormone - and thus minimize insulin - the fat (and sometimes muscle) gain hormone. IP: Logged |
