I am almost finished with my second week of 15s on my first HST cycle. I have been using this cycle to practice cutting up (never tried to seriously cut before). I have been eating at maintenance, 1.5x FFM protein, 25% fat, carbs for the rest. I am doing 2-a-days on T-TH-S with HST, and then about 30 minutes of aerobic work (jogging, incline treadmill, elliptical) 1-2 times a day on M-W-F. So far, I feel very energetic all the time, with only minor soreness.
Last week I lost about 1.5 lbs, which isn't too bad. I was aiming for 1 lb a week, 2 at max. I started at about 12% BF, and I am already starting to see some results.
What I really want to know, is light cardio/aerobic work twice a day on off days counterproductive to maintaining my hard earned muscle mass? I never work fasted, as I am just using the aerobics to create a deficit (insted of cutting the diet so much) and it helps me keep my energy levels rolling. Is this just too much? I realize that I probably will have to cut it down in the late 10's and/or 5's, but for now, I feel fine, so does that mean it's fine?
