Hey Greg, I realize I’m commenting on an older podcast but I feel that my comment should at least be somewhat relevant to the topics being discussed in the post/podcast.
Anyways, I have my calories/macros dialed in perfectly to the point I’m dropping one pound per week like clockwork.
As far as my training is concerned, I’m doing low volume (2 sets per exercise, 4 exercises per workout over a 2-day split, Mon-Wed-Fri) I guess my question pertains to what STYLE of training is best to utilize while cutting? Should I be doing my 2 sets with reverse pyramid?
Example: I’ll do 4-6 reps at 185 on my incline bench, rest for roughly 2 minutes, then repeat. If I can get another 6 reps with the same weight, ill add more weight next time around.
I’m wondering if I would make better use of my 2nd set by trying to bang out 8 reps at 165. Does this make sense?!
Thanks in advance!
Yeah RPT is better! Definitely more ideal.
Thank you guys for amazing podcast. Experience was so awesome! I felt like I was listening to a group of old friends of mine – what you said resonated with me so much, with my philosophy about training, life. Binge eating was a huge thing for me, still is (just now I’m helping others with it).
I suffered from binge eating for 14 years or so, kinda inherited it from my old sister. I’ve been in fitness/health industry for about a decade but only recently overcame binge eating after my motorbike accident when I almost died. I wrote a couple of blogs about that, if you care to read.

Now helping a lot of my clients with the same roblem, almost every client I have has the problem with binge eating to some degree.
I’m a health/life coach, personal trainer and nutritionist and for a while I was really ashamed of myself for not being able to “control” myself and giving in to binge eating. I felt like a huge failure!
Thank you the podcast and this episode especially! Looking forward to the next one!
“…do as little volume as possible to see results, only doing more when necessary.” I think that’s absolutely true Teddy. What we meant on the show is that you shouldn’t necessarily drop volume while cutting. But yes, you don’t want to do more than needed to see results, in general.
In regards to volume, what about the thought that someone shouldn’t overdo volume because once their body adapts to that amount then it becomes harder to grow further since adding more volume may be difficult since the amount you’re doing is already very high. Essentially, the thought would be to do as little volume as possible to see results, only doing more when necessary.
