some guy in the gym told me im mad for doing madcow powerlifting whilst cutting.... my view is its good as the strength helps retain muscle, he replied with you can still lift heavy doing a bodybuilding routine..
what are your guys views and opinions...
I am sticking with madcow... however recently i have suffered some serious strength losses namely deadlifting today, i was deadlifting 180 kg for 5 reps, i took a deload as was starting to get fewer reps on that weight, so ramped up to 160 today, and could only manage 2 reps!! what the hell is happening?!?!?!
my squats as well havent lost on too much strength but can tell its getting difficult, and am down from benching 120kg for 3 to 110 for 3...
Is this just part and parcel of cutting? some people have told me cutting, if done right you should not get weaker, and could possibly get stronger.
I havent relied on cutting calories too much, or cardio, i have found a happy medium, 2500 calories and 125 grams carbs workout days, and 2400 calories non workout 25 min fasting in the morning cardio, with 80 grams carbs... with a skipload once a week. Should i maybe start about increasing my skipload time of 6 hours????
