[Cutting] regular training vs. supersets vs. low reps

Hello there gents!

Well did a lot of research online and of course there is the casual broscience out there.
Thing is, I want to start cutting because I can´t handle my "bulky" look anymore. To be honest, my goal is it to have those deep cuts, that athletic physique and that´s about it

And when it comes to diet and training during a cutting phase, of course I want to preserve my naturally earned muscle tissue and prevent it from being "dieted" away. Hope you get my point.

What are your thoughts on different training techniques during a cutting diet?
scenario a) Most people say stick to your training regime to keep gains because it brought you that far. - Why would you change it?
scenario b) Others say: Listen pal to get juicy you need to do supersets because of that burn, the constant high heart rate, the pump and of course the extra calories being burned through this process.
scenario c) (not that many people): Change it to 5x5 low reps maximum strength to hold your strength - your muscle tissue and stuff like that

I mean to be honest guys, it all somehow makes sense, and I don´t want people to answer now "chill out buddy, do whatever works best for you" - no I want to somehow have your opinion on that topic including a why - and with why I mean a deeper answer instead of a "extra pump, more kcal burned".

As my mother tongue is not English I hope you get my point out of that story.
Have a great day fellows :)

I have been in this a long time. I have been a competitor years back and I still cut more than I bulk. Now we know that overload to failure to maybe some negative will produce growth to the mass of muscles. The essence of low reps 4,6 toping at 8 will produce this growth.

So for cutting you do change your routine. You keep a set or two at a strength building load but the majority of sets should have more reps. 10-15 and more that's if you just for a while wanting to keep the mass you have and cut, and rip.

Doing these high reps will keep you hard. Now the supersets and more over giant sets do more they are a form of aerobics. If you do super or more over giant sets you will raise your heart rate and burn fat, while keeping size three exercises.

How do you continue to build while doing this is take 3 different exercises and the first is a power heavy set overload 3,4 sets after warm up 6-8 reps. Next exercise, NO rest, not quite as heavy and of course 10, 12,15 fast reps but concentrated not working positive and negative. Then the 3rd and final exercise same theory but starting at 20 or so reaching failure and no rest . 5 or six sets.
This type of training works bet with a spotter for the entire giant set.

I guaranty you due some version of this you will have your heart rate up and still maintaining muscular size. This is more of a pre-show way but it will work to burn fat, shed water with diet.

If doing with AAS the same procedure and using preferred cutting compounds of course that's simple simoom. !! :) Don't leave out Test or think that doesn't allow one to cut. Dosage usually low w/test for this

yep guys im still natural, but i decided to go on low test + anavar. do have the cycle prepared already ;)

thx mike, so basically you say for the first exercise you say for example chest day: 3 sets á 8 reps for the first exercise and the last 3 exercises 3 sets a 12-15 reps? did i get that right?
 
Ya. I only cut, and mike was definetly on point. Mixed reps feel best, pump the heavy ones out first with compounds. Burn seperate muscles when you can really feel the muscles working.
