​Whether you call it a calorie deficit, diet, lowering/restricting calories, or cutting, your weight lifting sessions will be affected, when you eat fewer calories. Less food = less energy. But should you automatically lighten your weights and aim to do “easier” workouts?

​Whether you should train in the high or low rep range to build muscle commonly comes up with my clients. Working in a high rep range generally means lighter weight, while a low rep range is heavier weight. Which is better though? Which rep range is going to give you the most bang for your buck?
