I see what your saying Eric, very legit points. I don't plan on staying with the high rep things for too long, just playing around to change things up a little bit in the gym. I guess your right though working on improving my strength should be a goal

I could help you out with what one of my trainers had me doing for cutting. Pretty basic four day split focusing on (low and behold) strength gains...Your goal for cutting. Preserving/maintaining strength should put you in a better position to maintain your mass while losing fat. The basic idea when you begin your cutting diet is to keep the workouts lower volume, then add volume as you progress from week to week. The rep ranges don't need to be low per say, maybe 8-10 reps for some, 3-5 for others. If you stall out on an exercise, dump it for a similiar one that you can continue progressing on, and go from there. The diet is very basic, and is found in Dr. X's cutting diet sticky. PM me and I could toss you some ideas....

That's what I'm talking about. I didn't mean you had to do low reps on everything all the time, I should have made that clear. More of a congugate approach like 0311 had mentioned at the beginning of your journal. You'll be amazed under what circumstances you can still gain strength, but in any case, there is no use coming off a cutting cycle having lost a whole lot of strength.
