Since I got my half rack I spent 8 months gaining weight and lifting heavy (5 3 1). I started out as a stick, and after gaining about 15kg I decided I should lose a bit of fat so I've been cutting for a month now.

My squat has gone to shit. I can't really hit top sets on any of my lifts anymore but I've upped the volume to counter it. I've lost 4kg in 4 weeks so far which is more than I was expecting, but I don't think I'm losing muscle.

My plan is to keep cutting for another ~5kg and then never bulk/cut again.

Nice, I bought the rouge half-rack a few years back before they jacked up the price.

I find it easier when cutting to switch to light weights high reps, not saying itโ€™s for everyone but it makes dieting way easier

I switched to 5 3 1 Boring But Big for exactly that reason but it still expects you to hit your working sets before moving onto the 5x10.

Wait I donโ€™t think Iโ€™m tracking a regular exercise for you. Can you post a regular routine day for you?

It's vanilla 5 3 1 BBB https://www.jimwendler.com/blogs/jimwendler-com/101077382-boring-but-big. I basically only do 4 exercises - OHP, bench, squat, deadlift.

Ah I gotcha, thatโ€™s a lot of volume so that is good. Though I imagine doing 5 sets of 10 the weight gets low, or the wait between gets high

Yeh for 5x10 it's 40% of your training max. Super low but you feel it.

Iโ€™ve never done volume at that extent, I may have to give it a shot next time and see how it feels

I used to do First Set Last instead of BBB where you do 5x5 at the same weight as your first working set (maybe 60-70%) but that can be brutal on squat/deadlift day.
