How to lift while cutting

Sweet...Bronkaid is on recall now. Thanks for the tip.

Not a problem. That's what most use these days. Also perhaps have her try the ECY stack. Yohimbine works great with females.

Nice...wish I could take it....I feel like shit on it....Use 50mcg T3 myself...works great as long as you are on enough gear.

Yea be careful with the T3. It will eat your mucles alive!!!

Thanks all for the great advice. I understood the cardio and diet part, but I couldn't figure out what to do for lifting. I hate high reps so I am glad to hear I should keep going as I have been. I will throw in supersets and reduce my time in between the sets to amp up heartrate. Maybe by doing my hiit in the am and then lifting in the evening I can use the faster paced sets as a bit of added cardio. hmmm...sounds good. Thanks again all- appreciate it!

Good luck...you are on the right track....Throw in a little fat burner if you need a boost.

Sounds like a great plane to me

So I'm like what...1.5 weeks into my cut. Clean diet with high protein and running about 1700-1800 cals daily, doing 20 min cardio 4/5 days a week, and still lifting heavy. Today I noticed my weight hasn't moved but my bf went up 1%. I do believe I have lost muscle. Any thoughts on what I should tweak first? Lower cardio or up calories?

Cardio can definitely have an effect on mucle loss. With that said though, how are you measuring your bf? I wouldnt put too much stock into any home methods... I get bodpod tested in Malvern and Dexa tested in West Chester if your looking for local testing locations.

Was bf% measured within 24 hours of lifting or cardio? That will cause a bad reading ..

I try to keep my weight and reps the same on all my big movements which is for me the first exercise of each bodypart , I'll try to stay heavy on my second movement but it's not a deal breaker as i'll strip plates and do drop-sets . If I'm dieting heavy I'll do a third exercise but I'll train by feel and stretch and squeeze the muscle and stop just short of failure .

Thanks, SF. I have been asked before where a bodpod is near us. Now I can tell ppl to check out West Chester and Malvern. Since I don't compete (yet) I simply use my scale. I don't pay attention to the bf% just whether it goes up or down. It has been holding steady for months until I started this cut.

Actually, yes to both. It was straight out of bed, but I had done both about 9 hours before hand. I am not using calipers or anything, it is simply a scale that shows weight and bf. I know they are notoriously wrong, but I just watch for fluctuations not the % itself.
