"What I would suggest is strength maintenance combined with a couple of moderate volume/intensity sets to stimulate EPOC and then finishing off with supersets, trisets, tabatas, that kind of thing to get heart rate up."

I'm no expert on cutting either - although I did have success with a cutting cycle last fall to drop fat for wrestling - but those two pieces together were what worked really well for me. I used some supplementation (caffeine) but it was by no means necessary, only helpful.

Good luck.


Thanks man, the problem is I don't know the lingo very well yet and am not sure what Eric meant with all the terms he used. Could you explain them in layman's terms?
