Follow a routine in the FAQ and add in some put down the forks.

What program?

The program where you keep your diet in check.

 

[DrBdan]

Continue to lift heavy and maybe reduce the volume a bit. The key is your diet.

 

[Eric Brown]

Diet, diet and diet.

 

[koef]

Your overall work capacity will decrease when in a caloric deficiency, so dont try to cut on smolov or something.

Dont go crazy with the volume, keep the intensity high, keep lifting heavy.

thank you all for posting , I know that I should watch my diet but what I was asking about is that with calorie deficient diet and the conditioning workouts I can't keep up with SS but I think I will do 5/3/1 for 3 days/week and if that kicked my ass I will go with the 2 days version

My current 5/3/1 cutting routine / rules / advice:

Diet is paramount.
5/3/1 2 day split (Deads/Press & Squat/Bench) works really well (for me).
I just do the required reps on the last set on the 3 x 3 week.
Take it easy with the assistance work (sometimes I don't do any).
Diet is paramount.
Deload every cycle.
Don't go too nuts with hard conditioning - Incorporate some LSD if you want.
Listen to your body - you'll take longer to recover than usual.
Don't aim to serve 2 masters - losing weight is your primary goal, not getting stronger or better conditioned.
Diet is paramount.

Take what you want from the above and see what works for you.
