Weight Training and Cardio while cutting?

[WannaBPowerful]

Do i need to alter my workouts in any way for cutting? Im currently liftin weights HEAVY 6 days a week. Im going to add cardio in next week, 9 weeks out. Could i keep up the heavy lifting and add the cardio later on at night, like maybe an hr or two b4 bed?

this is just me but here is what i do.

monday - chest, tri, shoulder / eat heavy
tuesday - cardio / eat light
wednesday - quad, ham, calve / eat heavy
thursday - cardio / eat light
friday - lat, trap, bicep / eat heavy
saturday - cardio / eat light
sunday - a much needed rest and ever other week make this a cheat day.

remember........ its how long you do cardio that makes it effective, not how many days you do it that makes it effective..

try this:.... walk for 45minutes-1 hour at 3-3.5 mph every time.

NEVER CHANGE THAT!!!!....TRUST ME.......if you keep upping the speed, incline, days, or go past an hour, kiss your mucles bye bye.

ill stick with you on the cardio. Few questions about the rest. That doesnt look like a strict eating diet. How do you get really cut if you eat heavy every other day? Please explain your eating habits a little.

now dont freak out on me.......... im not saying that while dieting you should go to mcdonalds and eat heavy.

think of it like this............ if your trying to take in 2500 calories a day for your diet to lose weight.

on your lifting days, eat 3000 calories, and on your cardio days, eat 2000 calories......... on sunday eat 2500.

now add that up.

3 days of lifting 3000 = 9000
3 days of cardio 2000 = 6000
plus 2500 calories on sunday makes for a grand total of 17500 for the week.

divide that by 7 = 2500 calories per day. plus doing it this way shocks your body and helps to keep your body from burning too much muscle.

doest that make it clearer?...... sorry for the confusion.

Let me get this straight now...

Bulk up my training days so im only training 3 days a week, and cardio on the other 3 right? I take in my normal maintenance levels of calories on lifting days, and 1000 calories under than on cardio days with my calorie level right in between on my off day?

On LIFTING days eat MORE that your maitenance amount. On Cardio days, eat less, and then on Sunday, eat your maitenance amount.. Like he explained.

"if your trying to take in 2500 calories a day for your diet to lose weight.

on your lifting days, eat 3000 calories, and on your cardio days, eat 2000 calories......... on sunday eat 2500."

Lifting=3000
Cardio=2000
Sunday=2500.

And if you total that up for the week, you're eating less than maitenance cals. 2500 a day. SO yeah, you got it right... i think.. lol, my eyes are just out of whack today.

Sound's interesting.. How you progressing Ex? Or are you not cutting now?

Cutting now. I dont know much, as its my first time. I cleaned up my diet and added a little cardio. No change in my weight training routine and havent lost an ounce of strength yet.
