Types of training during cutting?

I'm starting to cut right now, but I have no clue how I should change my workout routine... During 'bulking' it's always low reps of 6 to 7 at high load, 4->6 sets. Now that I'm cutting I don't know if I should continue the low reps... My protein intake is obviously lower during cutting (I don't take suppliments, mostly chicken, turkey, and eggs are my friends), and most of my carb intake is only pre-workout.

I'm trying to figure out how my lifting should be changed... So post away :)
 
You can cut using reps in the 8-12 range. Also you should not cut your protein intake during cutting. Increase it some.
 
i wood do 1st exercise same as you have benn with low reps to maintain strength but maybe lower volume a little than go into cutting type session...chad waterbury's summer project is excellent try that i reckon
 
opps, or if that's too much for you than try 10 x 3 fior Fat Loss by him i done that and it works lost about 2 - 4% in 4 weeks
 
I don't think this is the kind of advice you're looking for, but as far as cardio, for awhile I slimmed down so much. I ate a low calorie diet, maybe 1000-1500 calories, and then for cardio I did jump roping. I did sets of 200, and 10 sets of that! Jump roping is very good for cardio, running is good too. Work with short distance at fast pace, maybe working your half mile times down. Running is more interesting because you can usually set more goals like that. I don't know about you guys but running outside makes things a lot more interesting, rather than being dragged along by a treadmill belt.
 
skipping is the best cario you can do next to sprints for fat loss...actasully it's not cardio at now that i think about as it's without oxygen (sprints)

That's the issue; I don't take protein supplements (eg no tubs of protein). So most of my protein has to come from eating meat - be it chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey, or red meat. That's why keeping up my protein intake will be hard since I need to stick to a lower calorie diet.
 
It shouldn't matter that much, 1gram of protein = 4 calories. So no matter where you get it from it's worth the same. Chicken is a great source of almost pure protein, so I would just eat that by the truck load. Once again, your rep scheme only changes with your muscle goals, if you want your muscles to be bigger, stronger, or have better endurance. It has nothing to do with fat loss.
