How do you change your workouts when you’re cutting?

from 50% Facts · host Jim McDonald

This week’s question from our Discord: Yasssuke Da GOD asks: “I am currently contemplating switching my workout routine since I am trying to cut. And I am realizing I won’t be able to increase my numbers while also trying to increase activities and cardio. So I am considering putting in some bodybuilding splits while still doing some powerlifting and oly movements. Is it me or will this increase my activities to burn more calories than my powerlifting splits? Adding reps of 10-14 vs the old 5 rep max routine? Like I would assume that a heavier lift with lower reps but with higher intensity and effort would exert more energy than a 10 rep sub max lift. But I guess it isn’t, and it isn’t as linear as that. Mad fitness is confusing.” Avi Lieu joins us for this one. You can find her on Instagram @avi.lieu. ____ Have a question for one of our Friday “One Good Question” episodes?
