iv been doing short aggressive weight cuts by eating 1500 calories and fasting till 12pm everyday. meals have been fake chicken ( im vegan) and salad and peanuts. Basically 2 meals a day.
Training wise , instead of volume training iv started doing HIT bodybuilding (dorian yates inspired) , basically full body , around 8 exercises , 4 second count on the lowering phase of the movement , weighted stretch at the bottom. 3 sets per exercise ( 1 light warm up , 2nd set is my range finder to see whats the heaviest i can go to get 8-10 reps, then the last set is starting at the heaviest weight and going to failure then halving the weight then going to failure then doing a drop set from there, maybe sticking negatives on the end exercise depending).
Training twice a week to prevent fatigue and wanting to eat more to aid recovery. Monday and friday.
Volume training was making me want to eat too much.
