Weights while cutting.

[goexplodex4]

Hey,

Long story short Im just under 6ft tall male. Went from 255lbs to 160lbs. I gained back 15 (i like to think muscle but theres fat too) and I want to be a lean person, no desire to be huge. I have extra skin that is made worse by my extra fat and I want to cut again for a few lbs.

The one thing I never know about is lifting while losing. WHen I lost all my weight I lifted all the time, but I dunno if that made me worse than I am now. Should I lift weights when I cut this time?

Thanks

yes, lifting weights will help to speed up metabolism

You should ALWAYS perform weight training while cutting.

Weight training helps you maintain lean body weight and cut fat, which is what you want to do.

and specifically, you wanna lift HEAVY. none of this 'light weight and super high reps' crap you may have heard about in the past.
I mean heavy, like 80% or more of your maximum lift, 4-6 reps on most days, but never really exceeding 8 reps for upper body, and 10-12 reps for squats.
