I’m cutting at the moment. Going from 200 and aiming for 180-170. What’s the best rep ranges for keeping muscle while losing the fat?
my friend began cutting from 6’3", 220, 12-14%bf so he went on a one lift a day, 5x1 5min rest. very low volume, high to moderate intensity. he’s cut his cals by 500 so far and actually went up to 221 and dropped 1.5-2%bf.
can’t rule out that he started taking nootropics and a mild test booster, though.
i believe that generally, the lower the volume the better for maintaining or even building muscle and strength while cutting. add low intensity cardio or HIIT for additional fat loss.
Thanks guys!
