Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Changing the workout at the end of the month, time to start cutting some weight...
What so you recommend? Currently I am on a 10,8,6,6 with and average of 4 sets adding weight with each set.
Let me know

Depends on your body, diet, supplements. Watch your testosterone, protein, rep range. Make sure your burning fat and not muscle, unless you are trying to drop over all weight and don't care.Originally Posted by 02ducky
I haven't worked out the fine details yet for September when I cut but basically I am gonna use resistance for a 4 week period and take notes of weight/BF%/measurements and see how it works. I won't lift weights instead I will only do dips, chin ups, push ups etc. I will cut out creatine, clean my diet as best I can while living out of a van, the only supplement will be protein. Then I will compare my stats and adjust my next gain cycle accordingly. I know guys who have done this with good results. I will still do sets of 10-12, but it may be like 10 sets.
Good luck and let us know what you decide and how it goes so we can all learn.
Ok, so as someone else mentioned, losing weight is about diet, exercise is about fitness for a task.
what "task" are you trying to do?
get stronger? faster? more endurance? run? bike? pick up heavy stuff?
need more details.

Ah Ha, endurance training for bow hunting, we leave the last week so I have time and I have been cardio as well.

For endurance I would keep all lifts in the 10-12 rep range. Some up hill tread mill. Diet is big, I am not a diet person so I just work harder.
well, I would work a lot of back (which is ok, because damn near everyone needs more back anyway), but holding that bow back is well back), grip strength, and lots of legs. farmer's carries would be a great one and hits most everything (one of my favorite exercises).
and, lots of walking/hiking all of course uphill because there are no downhills when hunting unless its' the cliff that your dead game just fell over.
i guess with bow season starting right quick, the biggest thing I would want to make sure of is recovery, diet and most importantly not hurting myself. I would push hard, but if something feels funny or unhappy it's time to stop. Losing 10lbs and getting your diet stabilized is doable in a few weeks and not carrying 10 extra pounds around would be a lot.
