How to workout when your cutting part 1

So you've decided to get ripped, shredded, cut, chiseled. You get the idea. You cut your carbs and eat them at breakie and around your workout (around meaning a mixture of before, during and after you workout). If your cutting and you don't do what I just mentioned try it and see what happens you'll thank me in 6 weeks. But even then you notice that you just can't lift as heavy when your cutting weight. This is then further amplified by the fact that people practise the MYTH of lifting light weights for high reps to get cut. Its absolute rubbish. When you are cutting your going to have to sacrifice SOME (not necessarily alot but some) of your hard earned muscle. For this reason your main focus during a workout when cutting is to PRESERVE your muscle mass. Lifting lighter weights for higher reps does not preserve your muscle mass,quite the opposite, infact it desensitizes it to lifting your usual heavier weight which leads to the body reacting something like this: your body: wow this weight is way lighter than before, looks like I dont need all this muscle here anymore! So whats the solution? LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS FOR LOW REPS! A good place to start is the 4-6 rep range (personally I find the 3-5 range to be more effective) with a set total of between 3-5. By performing heavy weights with low reps your giving your body a reason to hold onto the muscle mass it already has, it also allows you to initiate a strength maintanince mode where your body has the ability to, whilst cutting, keep up a certain lift without loosing much strength. So what excerises should you perform? COMPOUND ONES! No isolation work, compound excersies stimulate the most amount of muscle groups giving you more bang for your buck and when performed explosively with heavy weights, simulate the high threshhold, fast twitch muscle fibres  which have the most potential for growth and strength.
