Deep dives
Reducing Training Volume for Stress Reduction in Cutting Phase
Reducing training volume during a cutting phase can effectively lower training-induced stress on the body while still maintaining muscle and strength. Studies suggest that it only takes around three to six hard sets per week for any individual muscle group to maintain muscle mass. Therefore, reducing training volume by up to 50% can still preserve muscle and strength while allowing the body to recover and prevent increasing fatigue and negative side effects associated with prolonged cutting.
