This routine is designed to cut fat while maintaining muscle mass. Exercises should be performed using 90%-95% of your RM for each exercise for the appropriate rep range. EXAMPLE: 1RM = 192 4RM = 169 (90%-95%) = 152-160 10RM = 144 (90%-95%) = 130-137 As much as possible, try to keep rests short. The lighter weight should enable you to rest for less time. If you cannot keep your rest periods under a minute, adjust your weights closer to 90%. This workout MUST be paired with a nutrition plan designed to cut. Here is my recommendation. 1) Eat intermittently, ideally within a 6-8 hour window. 2) Calculate LBM 3) Use your favorite IIFYM calculator to determine your macros and your target caloric intake with a 20% cut. 4) Adjust protein intake to 1-1.1 gram per pound of LBM 5) If you fail and/or cheat, calculate your calories anyway and adjust them out of the remainder of the week to make sure your weekly average matches your macros. If you plan to cheat you can even take calories out the day before. EXAMPLE Target Calories: 2300 Monday: 2300 Tuesday: 1800 Wednesday: 4000 Thursday: 1900 Friday: 1900 Saturday: 1900 Sunday: 2300 Don't forget to stay out of the gym on day 7, drink plenty of water, and get 7-10 hours of sleep every night. Good luck!
