Begin a 12 week cut somewhere in the next few weeks once uni exams are out of the way and I need to chose my training program for this!
Diet will be intermittent fasting, lowish carb, P+C workout drink and some BCAA’s during fast. Calories reduced to 11 per lb bodyweight on average.
Torn between two programs:
“Built For Show” (Nate Green) or “Built Like a Badass” (Defranco).
Built for Show winter program will be used… or possibly the spring one but with the olympic lifting variations pulled out in favor or something else.
Anyone have any input here?
Can you suggest a better 3 day program?[/quote]
Just keep lifting the same way you lift when bulking. What put muscle there in the first place will keep it there when cutting

Haven’t lifted for a couple of months due to a couple of reasons so looking for something new.
Problem I have with BLAB is selecting weight for assistance work that changes weekly. I have always found it nicer in the past to stick with the same assistance work for maybe 3 weeks or so to give me a chance to find the right right and push my limits on that exercise.
Considering writing my own split with the following pattern:
Week 1:
Max effort upper
Max effort lower
Repeated effort upper + conditioning
Week 2:
Max effort lower
Max effort upper
Dynamic effort lower + conditioning
Which compares to BLAB’s split of 2 upper to 1 lower each week.
I quite like the Upper/Lower alternation of BFS but I miss doing max effort work… anything wrong with a program like I outline above?
Week 1 and 2 will be alternated of course.
