Can I essentially workout the same but eat less to cut? But add cardio of course too

For me, I do 3x15, 4x10, 5x5, in order and I usually see gains each time. Obviously alternate each workout
Got this from my HS football coach, usually use those sets and reps for most of my workouts.
You don't do all of that in the same workout, that would be madness.Originally Posted by I3

What sort of weight do you use? I assume you start of lightest with 3x15, a bit heavier with 4x10 then go HAM on 5x5?
So if my 1RM for flat bench was 100kg, maybe start at 65 for x15, 75 for x10 and 100 for x5?
Im going to experiment with this on squats, deads, shoulder press and pretty much on all my workouts that recruit big muscle groups..

Is it worth it? I was also thinking I could just walk/run on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike until I shed it all off.
I would also like meal/food recommendations. I've already bought some things that would help (fruits, vegetables, multi-grain whole wheat bread, egg whites, turkey bacon, etc). I wanna look good but I want to be able to maintain it as well. I'm allergic to nuts so I have to skip out on those. Any help is appreciated.

The idea is that each workout you do a different rep range.
So for a 3 day split (ABA, BAB) it would look something like this
Week 1
A 4 X 10
B 5 X 5
A 3 X 15
Week 2
B 4 X 10
A 5 X 5
B 3 X 15
Etc. Basically each time you do the same workout, you change the reps/sets. Really important to keep a journal and keep track of every workout if you do this though. Much easier to know you're seeing results. Additionally, I actually prefer 3x12, 4x8, 5x5... but it's really up to you. 6x3, 10x1 etc. is great too.

If you can do 135 15 times, then 155 is way too low for 5 reps.Originally Posted by CaptainKicks

To make it easy, let's say I do 135 for 3x15. I would do 145 for 4x10 and 155 for 5x5.
My general rule of thumb is that you should be able to do 2.5-5 lbs more for the next "tier". Recently hit 205 bench, #feelsgoodman. Haven't hit that since football days.
My goal now is to hit 315 squat/deadlift and 225 bench by end of May

Trying to gain weight is tough but I'm very cut. I'm not a typical skinny kid, But I want to get up to around 155-160.
Anyone else hate bulking? My face gets all puffy and I lose my abs. The worst. I feel bloated. Feelsbadman
