Can someone recommend a good cutting...

Small_Frey Posts: 6 Joined: 2004/04/07	2004/12/06, 03:31 AM phase? Right now I am lifting five days a week (mon-fri) towards progressive gains, i.e 4 sets 12-8 reps. No cardio. I am looking to start a cutting phase and I was wondering is someone could recommend one? Thanks in advance, Brian

Cutting calories too fast will result in muscle loss immediately. If you are eating a clean diet now, simply stay where you are in calories and up your intensity. Add in drop sets, super sets, and a day or so of cardio. When that plays out, start a sensible calorie cut, for instance 250 calories per day to begin. Will not be a shock to the system, and workouts won't suffer. As this runs its course, make another cut, either from calories, which I would do, or from adding more cardio, etc. and diet combo. Creating a caloric deficit is your way to tap into your fat stores. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
