Reflection on Workout Strategies for Bulking and Cutting
The speaker discusses their experience in competition and the different approaches they took to training. In the competitive world, they tracked everything and found that any extra calorie burn helped. In the real world, they found it more successful to focus on lifting heavy and doing low reps. While high rep workouts may seem like they have the same volume, they are actually harder to recover from. When calories are low, it is best to drop the volume and reps to allow for better recovery. The speaker found that doing lower reps while cutting made them feel amazing and helped them get leaner. High rep super sets did not work for them and left them feeling burnt out or getting sick.
