Besides the general switch up, do you make drastic changes in your roitine to aid in fat loss?
^ This. Calories are what depends the success of a cut, not routine change.Absolutely not. I don't expect to set a lot of PRs, but what's the point of changing the routine?
I thought some people add in more sets/reps for that burn or pump. Which I know you disagree with totally, but a few people mentioned it at the gym and I read an article or two on it.Absolutely not. I don't expect to set a lot of PRs, but what's the point of changing the routine?

The only thing different with my cuts is I focus more on lower reps to maintain strength gains.
Points noted.I like super sets of opposing body parts in the 10 rep range.
That's entirely up to the individual. Pump and burn are both the byproduct of utilization of the anaerobic glycosis...the cause is lactic acid. I really wouldn't basic my training solely on a pump.I thought some people add in more sets/reps for that burn or pump.

I'd do both personally. HIIT will raise your metabolism, but LISS has been found to decrease cortisol and is more muscle friendly. My resting heart rate dropped about 10BPM when I started incorporating LISS again.-in regards to cardio as well would u recommend high intensity for 15 minutes as opposed to a low/moderate intensity for 30 minutes?
[/quote]I just never tried a fat loss routine and I'm trying to get the best advice I can and organize it.... That's why I'm asking.
Do both types of cardio. They each have their purpose.I thought some people add in more sets/reps for that burn or pump. Which I know you disagree with totally, but a few people mentioned it at the gym and I read an article or two on it.

Only while in a major deficit (>15%).Do you guys also employ the use of BCAAs more often during the day since cals are low?
I agree for muscle breakdown purposes, but what about for the purpose of reducing cortisol?Only while in a major deficit (>15%).
No.So lactic acid plays no role in fat burning?
I prefer the sipping of BCAA throughout the day instead of in bolus'.I agree for muscle breakdown purposes, but what about for the purpose of reducing cortisol?

A lot of people still think lactic acid is what causes soreness, too.A lot of ppl think it does....
Same here.... every1 thinks differently and has a different way of seeing results and doing thing, guess the point is figuring out what works for u trough trial & error.... it's just that trial & error takes a long time.I need to start considering the source/ref of my info. Lot of bs out there.
I feel violated.
^^^^^Absolutely not. I don't expect to set a lot of PRs, but what's the point of changing the routine?
what works or you is the same as anyone. we all have the same anatomy and physiology. we all do not have different mechanisms to accomplish the same thing. it just doesnt work like that.Same here.... every1 thinks differently and has a different way of seeing results and doing thing, guess the point is figuring out what works for u trough trial & error.... it's just that trial & error takes a long time.
Not sure I understand you right ozzie. I agree we all have the same anat/physio. the mechanisms used for weight loss and muscle gain are all fundamentally the same, i agree with that also.what works or you is the same as anyone. we all have the same anatomy and physiology. we all do not have different mechanisms to accomplish the same thing. it just doesnt work like that.
So do you not believe that some people are naturally disposed to benefit from certain types of training? I have always built mass with low rep sets, but lots of guys build mass with higher rep (10-12) ranges. Are you saying I don't gain mass in this rep range like others do because my fitness level / stress level / etc. is different than theirs, not because my body responds to the training in a fundamentally different way? If so, it is a very interesting opinion, and one I am inclined to disagree with, completely amicably of coursenow i know some may come back with the idea that they and a buddy did the same thing and got different results. no you didnt. you got out what you put in.
That's what I added as well cardio!I still lift with the same passion but clean up the diet and cardio...cardio...cardio!
Just do both.I don't believe everything works for every1, I am about to experiment if I grow in the higher rep range vs. low range.
This. Doing both the maximal effort and the repetition effort are essential.Just do both.
