    5/3/1 on a cut?

    After my season ends I'm going to run a 3 month cut which will be about 3 cycles of 5/3/1 and was wondering at a 500 calorie deficit how my strength will hold up, or possibly gain?

    Will rep good answers

    well 5/3/1 has slow progression and doesnt force you to do X amount of reps, nor is it a high volume program unless you're doing loads of accessory work. I think it'll be fine.

    Thanks for the input man repped but, by fine do you mean you believe I will gain? Sorry I'm a very literal thinking person.

    yes. 500cal deficit will hinder your progress but not by much.

    It's really up to you. I've seen gains in my strength while cutting at a 500 calorie deficit. Just make sure you eat quality food and get plenty of rest.
