Opinions on rep range for cutting

[marcus300]

What built the muscle will maintain the muscle so carry on with the same routine what built it but swap and change it around more often using higher reps to get a pump but rep range isnt really going to cut you up but diet and cardio is

It really IS this simple... and yet some people just don't get it... I cannot understand it.

People, a muscle doesn't "tone" a muscle is shaped the way it's shaped and that's pretty much it. Can you peak your biceps? Yes you can... are there other little things you can do here and there ? Yes of course. LOOK at the muscular system however, notice how all of the pictures show all of the same shapes? The only difference is that some are larger and some are smaller. There is no cutting the muscle, there is no rep range for cutting fat... cardio heats up your core and causes the body to burn fat. Cardio was recently shown to only be 10% of weight loss, with 90% being diet. Cardio is needed for the heart and always will be and it will always help however.

You're right, 90% of it does come down to cardio. You can be cut as fuhuuck doing 6-10 reps all day I am not arguing that. What I am saying, however, is that the 15 12-15 rep range will develop your muscles differently than 5 reps would. This is not fiction, rather scientific fact. When I said 15 reps is king for cutting I should have elaborated further.

Everybody should always do cardio regardless of whatever else you do, including bodybuilders.
