Stronglifts again :-)

[Lewis81]

Hi peeps

Does anyone have a stronglifts plan i could follow? I'm going to change my training and start a cut after xmas is it worth doing on a cut?

I've done 5x5 before and got good results just never tried it on a cut?

If not does anyone have a suitable cut plan?

Cheers

Stronglifts is already a plan.....what do you mean?

The routine is on the website and it doesnt change from bulk to cut - just dont expect to progress with weight if your cutting on low cals.

If you want a cut plan, just lift low reps/heavy weight with a minimal routine (upper/lower etc)

My current train of thought on using strength programs while cutting all depend on how long you are planning to cut for. Less than 2 months I'd say is pointless, you'll spend too much time working submaximally and run the risk of losing muscle because of it. If you're planning on cutting for 3 months or more then there may well be strength benefits from doing a program like 5x5.

Otherwise, for a short hard cut, train heavy as possible (for your top sets at least) with reduced volume, so each muscle group once a week, 3 sessions tops.
