Training coming out of a cutting phase

[Josh Sheetz]

Hey Joe. Not stepping on stage, but will be coming out of a 21-22 week cut down to a pretty low 7-8%ish bodyfat range (who knows the #, but actually lean haha)

Going into a physiological trt phase for at least 8-10 weeks, I planned to start a recovery block with 1 working set push /pull workouts like you do for the first 2-4 weeks

After that, would you see any benefit to adding in more than usual “metabolic” work with the addition of more food / nutrients for the body to use and push around, or would you just bang back into regular meat and potatoes training? I don’t particularly love the thought; but it was suggested by a good friend/coach whose opinion I value a lot

Workouts in a PPL fashion, with 1 main loading set for each bodypart in the 6-9 range, and then 2 rounds of a shortened/lengthened metabolic sequence coming off the main loading sets

A1 INCLINE DB PRESS (1 set 6-9)

B1 SEATED CABLE FLY SHORT
B2 FLOOR PRESS
B3 CABLE FLY PARTIALS
2 rounds 8-15 each

C1 CUFF LATERALS (1 sets 8-12)

D1 CUFF LATERAL SHORT
D2 CUFF LATERAL PARTIALS
D3 CABLE FRONT RAISE SHORT
D4 CABLE FRONT RAISE PARTIALS
2 sets 8-15 each

E1 CG PRESS (1 set 6-9)

F1. CABLE CROSS TRICEP EXT short
F2. CABLE CROSS TRICEP EXT overhead
2 sets 8-15 each

If it sounds dumb and a waste of time, you won’t hurt my feelings telling me to just go train hard 🙂
