Coach,
How would you structure a Batcheldor-style cycle for fat loss? For example, when would you cut calories, increase calories, etc. with ON/OFF weeks
Current structure for 21 weeks of training is as follows:
3 ON, 2 OFF, 3 ON, 2 OFF, 3 ON, 2 OFF, 6 MAINTENANCE
training is as follows:
5-8 reps ON weeks (more sets) plus occasional triples
1-3 reps OFF WEEKS for main lifts (one set to failure for assistance) (fewer sets)
So my questions are:
- Would you modify this training? Keep it mostly the same? I am a 1A.
- How would you time calorie manipulation in conjunction with ON/OFF weeks?
- Would you change the structure of ON/OFF weeks? For example, 5 ON/3 OFF (I just made that up so illustrate my question)
As always, Coach, I appreciate your assistance.
