I was just thinking someone should do the same thing for cutting that Bryan has done for hypertrophy, namely study research about what actually causes fat loss while maintaining muscle, and create a training program and diet to maximise its effects.
So far cutting programs have been based on commonly accepted knowledge what has worked for someone else, like eating 500 cals below maint and lifting heavy to keep muscle. However, if we just worked out with "commonly accepted knowledge", we'd still be doing 4 day splits and only working a muscle once a week instead of doing HST, or worse doing some joint busting routine like HIT (which we now know isn't necessary for growth, thanks to Bryan).
So does anyone know how we can come up with a Cutting Specific Plan (losing body fat as quickly as possible while maintaining as much muscle and strength as possible), by using the same scientific approach that Bryan used to create HST, and has this already been done by someone?
More specific questions, we know cardio is good, but how much? Is HIIT better than continuous, or not? What is the ideal weight training regemine for cutting?
I'd like these questioned answered by the same kinds of research that has gone into hypertrophy and strength.
