1-3 rep range on a cut???

[jeremy9710]

I'm just curious when I do go on a cut would lifting Monday and Friday doing 1-3 rep range on the big 3 maintain my muscle? I really like doing that range I'm not really sure why just feels better. Any opinions? Thanks!

Yes that would work fine....but the better question is....

Whatever works for you. I personally wouldn't go that low, unless your trying to increase your 1rm or something. I think you should keep your reps over 5, I mean if your doing 1 set of 3 at the end or doing something like wendlers 5 3 1 then thats fine, but to not go over 5 for any sets...I'm not a fan.

Ya im trying to just get strong size to me doesn't really matter but since I'm cutting I don't think its possible to get much stronger and I feel as tho low reps with high weight feels like more of a workout
