Cutting - rep range?

I wanted to hear his plan. According to you 2 cardio (wheather it be high rep exercise or running , jumprope) would mean muscle loss / no muscle stimulation

sure, why not?

pro athletes do twice that much daily atleast.

You just aren't getting it. For loosing weight and general health cardio is important.

I always do cardio/ play some kind of sport no matter what my goals are, gain weight/ add muscle, loose weight/ cut fat/ gian muscle it doesn't matter. Improving your cardiovascular system is simply good for everyone.

If you only do cardio, burn a tone of calories with no real weight training in your program you will loose muscle (fat too), there's no way around that.

But with proper training and programming you can loose fat and maintain, even gain muscle. but you're not going to do that with lame 500 rep sets of anything.

Most people don't realise that with proper fuel, the body can adapt and recover a lot faster/ better then they think.

This is what I'm talking about. If your diet and timing is right you can do anything!

We are talking about weight lifting, not a high rep 100,000 step jog. Don't start that. It's ridiculous to say that a run is high rep excercise. Of course it is. It's just running, not a high rep excercise.

Of course running does stimulate muscle growth, and so does jump rope, but it doesn't build muscle on the scale that heavy rep lifting does. Not even close.


Cardio, is short for the term cardiovascular training, or primarily for excercising the heart and vascular system. Secondarily stimulates muscle growth

Weight lifiting is to primarily stimulate the muscle systems. secondarily stimulates the cardio vascular system.

Doing BOTH is required to primarily stimulate both for best cutting/tone. Growing the muscle, and cutting the fat from cardio is how you cut. High rep excecise isn't going to build significant mass.

We don't care about just being toned up, we want to be big and toned up. They way to do that is to lift heavy weight, low rep to build muscle and do additional cardio ("high rep" lol) to keep the fat down. It's really simple actually. Not really anything to debate about.
