Hey guys, it’s time to shake things up again. I’m planning on starting what I call a “phased cut” on Monday. Not something that I read or even heard of, just an idea I had and wanted to get some opinions from you guys…
My stats…
5’ 8.5"
187lbs
BF ~17%
Current regimen.
Protein - 210g
Carbs - 250g
Fat - 93g
Total Cals - 2677
Heavy workouts 4 days a week. No Cardio. Been doing this for the last 8 weeks or so.
The plan…
Week 1
Cut carbs to 50g / day (Preworkout)
Leave other macros the same. This will put total cals for week 1 at around 1800.
Workout 3-5 days light glycogen depletion sets. Cardio 3 days (20 min sessions HIIT)
Week 2
Bring carbs back up to 100g (Pre and Post Workout) Cals at around 2000
Workout medium weights hypertrophy range 4 days. (Cardio 3 days (20 min sessions HIIT)
Week 3
Carbs up to 150g (Pre and Post workout. Breakfast). Cals at around 2200
Workout same as week 2. (Cardio 5 days (20 min sessions HIIT)
Week 4
Carbs up to 200g. Cals at around 2400
Heavy workouts 4 days. No Cardio.
Then after that I’m back up to where I am now…
What do you guys think? Does this plan have merit or am I just going to be spinning my wheels?
