- Put your off days on your no carb days. Or, use these days for cardio work (if you insist on cardio) or you lightest low volume days. For example, active recovery workouts would be ideal here.
- When cutting, keep the frequency of workouts, and/or the total volume lower than you would when bulking
- Now, let's put this to practice. Assume one is cutting, and using the standard three-day cycle: no carb, high carb, low carb, repeat.
I would recommend setting up a four-day or six-day split that is spread out over six days. So, for example, you could do the following:
A: Chest and Triceps
B: Back and Biceps
C: Quads, Hams, and Calves
D: Shoulders, Traps, and Forearms
You'd then play this routine as follows:
No: Off- cardio
High: A
Low: B
No: Off- cardio
High: C
Low: D
