So I want to cut down a couple pounds before my spring lacrosse season (I'm about 146 and 5'6-5'7") in about a month
Here's what I WAS doing: cardio 3x a week (25mins) with a FBW from wolfs 21 workouts and ate about 2000cals - 2200cals a day.
Here's what I AM doing: cardio 5x a week (still 25mins) with a 3 DAW split (biceps-back, triceps-chest, Shoulders-legs-abs) and about 1800-2000cals a day.
Not really losing weight, so I need to get back on track, but that's besides the point (I think?)
My sleeping has been fine, but why are some of my workouts weaker. Namely my chest and triceps the most. is this normal during a cutting phase? Anything I can improve? Any other things you need to know?
I've been stuck and now I need you guys' helps. Thanks.
Hey, you may want to cut doing all that cardio (or at least reduce it) and just focus on dieting and maintaining strength as much as possible during the cut.
You don't want to do MORE volume when you cut. That's senseless. You can't do more on less energy.
What you CAN do is maintain your strength fairly well- especially with RPT training on your main movements- maintaining your strength while cutting is the key to maintaining as much muscle as possible while still losing the fat.
