I hope this is the right foum, and I hope this isn't a duplicate thread. I tried searching and found a few different opinions, so I'd just like anybody's feedback on this idea.
It seems to be the consensus that to maintain muscle while cutting you need to train heavy to maintain strength. Some have said to skip SD or even skip 15's and use regular hst while cutting.
I was considering cutting after my 2 weeks of post 5's where instead of negatives I usually do multiple sets of ~3 reps with my 5rm and eventually more than my 5rm. So after this 2 week period I would start to reduce calories and keep training with something like 5 sets of 3 with my new 5rm, for just Deadlift, Dumbell bench, and weighted chins. I would probably keep this up for 4-6 weeks. probably 15 minutes or so of HIIT after my weight workout.
How does this sound? Any criticisms, or recommendations?
