Need a good cutting workout
I'm starting a cutting phase. Got the diet and supplement part down. I need some suggestions on how to work out for this phase. I'm hoping to lose about 20 lbs but trying to keep as much size as possible. I've heard everything from "don't change your workout" to "high reps, low weight" someone suggested doing one body part/day for a 5 day cycle. With all the conflicting suggestions it gets VERY confusing.
Anyone with some SOLID suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

those are all good information..
everyone is different, but with cutting normally means less carbs, thus less energy for heavier weights, thus we do lighter weights for more reps, plus the look is what we are going for..
the diet is what will control how you look... much more so than the workout..The answer to your every question

I would still try to lift as heavy as you can handle. Though this may get lower as you cut down, the sign of a good cutting diet is being able to maintain strength throughout so you know you aren't losing muscle.

i figure that it has little to no relevance to training. lift accordingly as to what gives you the best results. it all has to do with your diet and your cardio regimen. i am a very heavy individual but my diet is very strict and i have a very good cardio regimen and the weight is just melting off.

If you want to believe that you shouldn't lift heavy during a cutter that's fine with me, but I know that you can absolutely lift heavy and I can point you to a few articles that justify my theories if you'd like.
Do I think you are going to break strength records while cutting? No. But you should still put max effort and go as heavy as you can keeping the reps between 5-10. I have 13 years experience lifting so I don't just throw out nonsense advice.

I would say lift as heavy as you can get away with but never sacrifice form for weight. Im assuming your going to be doing cardio or else this isn't an affective cutting workout. The step mill is your friend.

I've been prepping for 7 years... working with other athletes for 2 years... and i always make personal bests while cutting.
They do as well.
Heck i hit my max deadlift 2 or so weeks out from contest...shredded to hell...and drug-free to boot.

Good stuff man, you are correct in that I was talking more about maximum effort saying that maintaining strength is the ideal. I have never broken prs like the gents above, but now that I'm working with a new coach and a different style to cutting we'll see how that works.

Everything done for 12-15 reps and flex every rep
fri-Chest/tris
sat- back/bis
