I have heard keeping a lower rep range while cutting will help you maintain strength. Curious if there is any validity to this? If so would a 5x5 rep scheme be low rep enough or maybe a 3x3?
Thoughts on a schedule like this?
Mon
Chest 5x5
Triceps 4x8
Abs
Tues
Cardio
Wed
Cardio
Thurs
Back 5x5
Shoulders 5x5
Biceps 4x8
Fri
Squats 5x5
Calves 4x12
Or should I just stick to a good old fashioned 5x5
I've been cutting with most exercises on 5x5 and have only went down a little on my bench and went up or stayed the same in all other exercises. I've been losing a pound/week. Here's what my routine looks like.
Mon
Deadlift 5x5
Overhead Press 5x5
Bent over row 5x5
Weighted Chins 3x7
