pretty sure supposed to be pretty low AKA strength training reps. Since you can't (realistically) build muscle size (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy) on a cut, however myophibillar(?) hypertrophy AKA the reproduction of strength cells, is possible. So it's better to train for strength on a cut AFAIK.

So what background do you have?
Any education or just basing information etc on your own experiences?

First serious question lol..

Well from personal experience being 2 weeks out from a show.. Im doing high rep high volume for most my workout. I do one heavy compound movement. I keep my rep range about 10-15 if i can do more than 15 i increase the weight.

Not everybody has to have a doctorate in physiology and dedicate their life to studying the human body to help others. The guy seems to be trying to sincerely help people through his personal experiences.

I'd understand if he was spewing absolute bullshit but give the guy a break.

I was more curious, always nice to know if somebody has something like education or previous coaching experiences when they talk about stuff.
It's so common for people who are successful in the fitness industry to not actually have any real knowledge, or just promoting broscience.

to elaborate on this a little, high rep/high volume while cutting, particularly deep into cut, isnt a great idea. Not only for the reasons turtol touched on but there will be a great deal of metabolic stress that is hard to overcome without adequate recovery.
