Cutting and getting a good lift

[blazencruise]

What do you guys do when deep into a cut and you just don't feel strong on those bad days and are trying to get a good lift in. The gym has never felt like such a chore before, its hard to "go hard" these last couple weeks.

i mean it really depends, body might be giving you a sign that its time to pull back and do a refeed/high day, or just sometimes in the cut you will just feel like shit, but when i was getting shredded and had those days, i always reminded myself that the off season will be so much better if i keep pushing and just suck it up

How much calorie deficit per day are we talking? When in a deep cut, you might need to lower your rep range / sets.

On the days I don’t feel like doing it

I just do it any way

Roughly 300-500 calorie deficit for the last couple weeks. Down 15 lbs in 3 months. This is my first intentional cut ever.

Sometimes the body just needs that additional day off to recover, especially deep into a cut. I know it sucks psychologically, but you are not really losing progress.

build your diet so the bulk of your carbs are pre/intra and post wo... also what are your macros?

If you are truly in it for the love of the game, this would not even matter.

You go to the fucking gym, I will pin 100mg of test suspension you won't want to leave the gym.

Push through, 2 hard sets per exercise and get out. Yeah it can suck, especially on leg day, just have to remember your goals. Not looking forward to doing it again but once the rebound starts it’s a wonderful thing.
