When it comes to losing weight, aka cutting, we know we have to change a lot about our diet and the foods we eat. The whole calories deficit thingy. But during a cut, should we also make adjustments elsewhere? What about adjustments to our training? Is it better to keep the same training volume and intensity as we normally do during maintenance or even a bulk? Or should that be "cut" as well? Well, in this video, we're gonna talk about why cutting your training is not the worst idea, but also not exactly necessary

Can already tell you how this video end “It depends”
The closer I get to finishing this cut, the closer I am to bulking back into an absolute monster.
Thanks for booting up this video, I’m in the middle of a cut right now lol
Me too! What good timing.
I think everyone is lol
Same its summer cut time ! xD
Thank you for busting the common fitness wisdom with science. I'll definitely take notes from this video and update my fitness knowledge! 😊
Really need it, thank you ❤🎉❤
DO NOT, under any circumstances WHAT SO EVER, forget to take your PROTEIN!
PictureFit perfectly dropping a video while I'm focusing on progressively overloading my protein on a Sunday night!
Your training should be what you can handle with your current recovery, regardless of cutting or bulking, with intuitive, short deload for when you overreach.
Short as in, how much and what exactly? I have problems with reload cause when. I train I always want to give 100% . Only option for me is to not go caus e otherwise I will be overtrained again in a 2-3 weeks
@@eventhorizon7234 no the only option is to have some discipline and self control. Know when not to give 100% because it's better for your long term training goals.
@@eventhorizon7234 I do the same, but whenever my performance starts to drop on a particular muscle group or I feel tendon pain, I take the training for that muscle off for that session, I also reduce the volume by doing fewer sets(lets say from 4 to 3) in the next upcoming session. This usually does the trick unless you got something more serious going on in which case you should see a physical theraphist
Perfect timing
Hello Mr Picture Fit, i am new to the channel, please do more video about RPE/RIR and how to apply it for moderate/high volume, As i hate training to failure and low volume
I like this fitness/nutrition channel the most for not being some pumped up half naked ripped guy talking to me 😅
1000th i love @PictureFit voice :XD
Hard to reduce zero.
one month left of spring cut bro
When the study says moderate volume and high volume have no difference on muscle mass when cutting, does that mean the higher volume had proportional or the absolute same amount of muscle mass gained? Is the higher volume “pointless”?
I've fallen into body recomp when my cut failed. Been losing fat slowly but I can keep up the same training volume and strength. No strength gain but losing chub has been good. Cutting I was too hungry and devoid of energy.
Try eating more protien
@@TT-ji4wl I'm already eating 220g at 85kg, I can't do much more than that honestly
im already extremely tired, hungry and sad that i cant eat what i want. i dont think i want to add working out super hard to that list of things to do during my cut. too much to focus on already
Maybe you'd be a better candidate for body recomp. It's a slower process and maybe you don't have the time but it's so much easier to stick to.
Need to get on more high carb foods my brother. Add in bananas before a workout. Drinking water and spicy foods has helped me in the past
You can eat Some of what you want. In moderation. Budgeted for in your calorie needs. I wanted a brownie bite yesterday, I ate a brownie bite. I had just enough calories left for it so there was no guilt involved. When you eat smaller amounts of treats especially after not eating them for a while, provided you eat them slowly and savor them, you'll find it's actually even more enjoyable. This applies to savory foods too like fast food, you can still have it, order smaller portions and eat it less often.
i reduce the intensity but the volume always stays the same
Is it better to burn your calories or eating less?
Both, but if you have to choose, eat fewer calories overall prioritizing protein.
Eat less. Much easier to cut out 100 calories as opposed to burning it. 10,000 steps a day is a good way to burn 300-400 calories
Eating less calories is easier, but "less" doesn't have to mean feeling like you're starving either FTR. Eat volume foods for some of your meals/snacks. Watermelon is my go-to volume food, you'd be surprised how much of it you can eat for less than 200 calories. But on days I really want a special treat or something I will go out of my way to exercise a bit more to help burn a few more calories to put towards that day's budget. Do what feels more sustainable for you long term.
It feels like it's supposed to be an intuitive adjustment rather than a preemptive one. You shouldn't lower your volume just because you're going on a cut, you should adjust your volume according to your performance - if an 80kg bench starts to feel a little heavier than normal, go lighter. If you don't feel adequately recovered by your next workout, do less volume or space them out more. But don't make it a rule
Might be able to maintain volume by reducing weight.
THE MOVING MOUTH SO CURSED
You should trian _higher intensity_ (heavier weights) to preserve muscle mass
I'm just coming from a cut... It. Fucking. SUCKS. Almost three months of virtually zero gains; during a bulk I was casually adding a rep here, 5lb there, going for new PRs, the whole shebang. During a cut I think I added 2 reps during the whole thing. Not 2 reps per exercise mind you, 2 reps spread across my whole 3 days routine, 2 exercises got something more. So yeah... I don't think slowing down is a bad idea...
😂 Added 2 reps in a cut? Consider yourself lucky I've lost so much strength in my cut hahaha
But you have gained a more cut physique! Hopefully anyway. I'd look at that as gains.
Creatine might help
@@nickkerr6068 It didn't. Like... At all... I might be one of those weird types who don't react to it, and even weirder because in 2 separate occasions, I noticed hair loss, while on creatine; both I stopped, and it went away. I know it's a one man sample, so just my $0.02
When I cut calories and train as usual (not even excessive!) I get headache, stomach issues and other side effects very consistently! I tried this over many years, decades even an this remains to be the case
Meaning, if I cut calories I HAVE TO reduce training intensity as well otherwise I get sick and then all is futile anyway
Looking into mealtiming could potentially help you!
Maybe, but I made it work cutting both.
Quoting studies on volume is a bad idea

Haven't watched this channel in a bit and seeing his mouth move was uncomfortable
