No. FWB brings you to total muscular exhaustion to the point where you actually end up burning more muscle rather than fat. You want to PRESERVE muscle as much as possible on a cut. The overall goal of a cut isn't just pure calorie burning...if it was, everyone would simply starve themselves and do cardio.
The proper way to cut involves enough weight training to keep the muscles strong, calorie burning high, but ALSO preserve the muscle mass you already have while also cutting down fat.
It's a very delicate process best done in keto with equal amounts of cardio to weight training and making sure you do not OVERTRAIN.
ok well here are my goals in order from highest to lowest.
1 : increase cardiovasuclar endurance
2 : lose weight, tone , and have a strong core
3 : strengthen overall body
primarily things that will benefit someone trying to get into boxing, now what would happen if i tried to do a 3 x fbw while doing cardio 5 days of the week in HIIT form (mainly circuits), is that possible ? perhaps i mislead you with my previous goals. what i wish to do is to is get into shape and look nice, but at the same time overall strengthen my body and increase my cardio through means other then running , ones that can lead up to being able to run for long distances and fast blah blah.. Now if FBW with cardio and diet will work, just not as fast as if i were too "cut" that is fine as long as i see results. Also, can you reccomend some thing sthat will increase bone strength, aside from dairy products?
