One of many terrible pieces of training advice I hear among the “bros” is to train with light weights and high reps when cutting to “bring out the cuts.” This is 100 percent wrong. Focusing exclusively on high-rep training doesn’t help burn more fat than heavier weights. It doesn’t “shred you up,” nor does it make you vascular. Ironically, training heavy is especially important when you’re cutting because the name of the game is muscle preservation, and you need to keep overloading the muscles to accomplish this.
