Need some help with cutting

[Willy]

Diet is sorted and i have enough cardio in there too

i need help with my workouts.. mainly how many reps and sets to do??

i have never followed any workout plans or anything, just go by what i've been doing for the last few years.. turned out that i was over-working my arms and chest, but i've sorted that out this year

and will i be ok to workout every single day or do i still have to leave out a day to rest??

bare in mind that i've been over doing it for years and still seeing very good results, i have no problems with doing the same stuff every single day

For me, workouts stay the same. Whether it's a cut of a bulk is a diet issue.

[Rambo]

yeh maintain the same workout bro, your aim should still be to build muscle..

if anything look into fst-7

[Willy]

My diet is sorted out pretty much but it's just some days, missing meals and eating loads in one go is the main issue

shouldn't i switch to lower weight/higher reps though??

or even keep the same weight and do higher reps/less sets, so do a set of 12 instead of 8 to make it work the muscles a bit more, so i don't have to do 5 sets of 8, just do 3 sets of 12 instead??

5x8 isn't doing anything apart from being able to lift more weight every 2 weeks, i just want to tone up with what i already have rather then put on more muscle if you know what i mean

if you switch to high reps low weight you will just get smaller and look softer bro

5x8 is a lot as it is, 2 sets of 10 and one of 8 is enough

This is where so many people get it wrong when cutting. Cutting basically is all about some cardio and making sure you eat at a calorie deficiency whilst continuing with your exact same workouts. Strength eventually starts decreasing but the decrease should not be substantial.

Normally if you're doing sets of ten and when cutting can only manage 6 reps in the set, implement a rest/pause for 30 seconds and bang the other four out.

You're post is very kebab-esque n/s

You have literally no reason to cut. Sign up to a gym...yes.

Okay, well here's your first bits of advice, sign up to a gym, adopt a workout program, watch youtube clips on how to perform each exercise correctly, don't focus too much on diet yet and don't ever take anything your friend says seriously regarding gym again

Well i do know 1 breh and he's a body builder (no steroids) so his advice should be ok but not the rest, i hear that lol

What workout programme/s do you recommend, i don't wanna become overly hench just slightly muscled/toned

5x5 for someone just starting out. Google it

My chest/arms have popped out not too big just right, my boy was saying i should start cutting but i have no idea where to even start :/ lol

instead of 50 pressups every morning n evening do like 100/150 once every other day that'll be better do wide press ups for ur chest n put ur arms closer for ur triceps

ditch the sit ups they arent gna be effective especially 50 research ab exercises do more leg raises n crunches n shit id recommend ab ripper x every other or every 3rd day

do chin ups for ur biceps too n pull ups for ur back so ur doing ur whole upper body

before u hit gym tho research everything cos theres no point u going if u have no clue what ur doing u needa go hard for like 4/5 months atleast b4 u cut mate n dont go half hearted either gta go hard

No matter what workout program you do you're not gonna get overly hench without the right diet so I wouldn't worry too much. The way I've given advice to girls to start using some sort of weight when working out and they turn around and say "errr no I don't wanna get proper muscley" smh, if only it was that easy.

Finally feeling something from workouts

all my dumbbell workouts are super high reps now, concentrating on them area's the most, feeling that shit burn

going to throw in some sit ups to make stomach area a little slimmer

50 sit ups, 2 times a day sound alright?? 100 sit ups per day

sit ups won't make your stomach slimmer bro, only loosing body fat will

[LeBcfc]

sit ups make the abs move noticable , but you wont notice them untill you burn of excess fat. situps arnt a bad thing to do but cardio is the main thing

[Willy]

Sit ups will give me what i'm looking for, i did it before

i don't want to tone my belly or get a 6 pack

it just came out a bit with bulking and there are not really any workouts that i do which work that area so sit ups will eventually slim it down a little bit

just a month of sit ups daily should do the job tbh

if not then add crunches and a few more workouts

dont just do sit ups tho cos that only works ur upper abs and they arent even that effective compared to crunches etc. do leg raises n stuff to target ur lower abs too

btw u shud do this anyway not for a 6 pack but to just strenghten the ab and core area cos theyre important when lifting weights generally

[hondo]

It depends on what your goals are. If you want to get toned, do higher reps, and more sets. If you want to build muscle, then rep range will be around 5-7, and maybe 2-3 sets. And the exercises you chose are really "shaping" exercises, not strength exercises. They are ones that you to tone up, rather than build true size and strength. If you want to build size & strength, you might want to do some squats & leg presses.
