    Progressive overload or static weights when cutting?(reps)

    Should I expect to be able to progressively overload during a cut, or should I not be able to, and if I try, I'll eventually hit a brick wall or wear myself out?

    Reps for good answers.

    you should aim to progress on your weights
    this *may* come slower than on a bulk though

    You should always strive to progress, but on a cut it may be difficult

    Thanks.

    Just did a bit of research on my own, and came up with this:

    It's important to strive to progressively overload during a cut, as stated above, but maintaining the weight you lift while losing weight actually is a form of progressive overload, because the proportion of weight lifted to body weight increases (body weight decreases, thus increasing the proportion).

    Never thought of it that way but it makes sense. So I think the correct answer to my question is: Try to progressively overload, and at least maintain the amount of weight you lift.
