At a quick glance, appears to be a lot of advice in here from people who haven’t really seriously cut themselves and are going by hearsay.

This is the best I’ve ever accomplished/documented
Definitely not stage ready, but I was able to squat 500lbs and deadlift 600 while cutting down to that, and since the TC trains strongman, I figured my experiences would probably map on well.
What would you advise him to do?[/quote]
That looks like solid work. I thought about it last night about whether a person should add or cut back on work/conditioning to lose weight. I tend to think that beginners (lower strength levels and muscle mass) or people with higher body fat should do a bit more work to lose weight since the strength work isn’t that taxing and they have a lower metabolism rate. Whereas people with lower body fat and more muscle mass need to cut down on conditioning and focus more on diet because the recovery is so specific on strength (for powerlifters). At least for me, my approach for weight loss has changed over time.
What’s your opinion on that?
