Just try and keep the intensity of your work out up may mean they are shorter.

I think a better response would be to lift the same way that built the muscle in the first place.

If you don’t have much muscle built…then fix that first.

I don’t think most people can handle the same kind of volume on a caloric deficit as they can when maintaining or bulking. But the intensity should still be there. Heavy lifting should be continued. [/quote]

My volume doesn’t change. Again, we aren’t talking about beginners. Someone who has actually built a solid base of muscle should lift the same to keep it. This seems like it would only confuse someone who hadn’t built that muscle first so they have no clue what works anyway.

i agree with almost all the replies the OP has already received to his question.

i have read many articles in books and magazines and online, and i’ve seen all sorts of different answers to this exact question.

i think it matter how ‘hard’ your cut is. are you significantly reducing calories below maintenance? how much are you working out already? these types of questions will help us give good advice.

that being said, i think that whatever training you incorporate that WORKS, ‘in-season’ or ‘off-season’, it should be similar wheter you’re dieting to lose or dieting to gain. maybe with some adjustments to volume…
