      do your routines change at all when cutting? eg, less sets or less exercises or just keep the same?

      (sorry for hijack lol)

      personally I avoid deadlifts just because of injury risk, and i hate the feeling doing them in a deficit. Squats are on and off, ill usually do the hack squat machine but set wise i throw in a couple of dropsets on big exercises, and negatives and slow burn lowers on more isolation exercises.

      The only change I make to my training when cutting is I'll maybe up the intensity of my last working set to maximum (negatives etc.) rather than doing sometimes multiple drop sets afterwards like usual I might only do 1 or none at all.

      Basically I up the intensity a tad and lower volume slightly but weights on my working sets (hopefully) stay the same. These changes I make are more down to the fact I don't have the energy to pump out loads of sets rather than a carefully thought out training plan lol.
