Lighter Lift - Lose Muscle?
My last post was about eating more to give me more energy but in the last week of eating more I have gained like anoth 1.5%bf and I was wondering if I toned my lifting routine down a bit if it would affect the muslce I already have. I wanna tone it down so I can not be so tired for work but I really don't wanna lose the gains I have already made. I am also going to add cardio. I don't really want to get any bigger. Does this sound like a good option or will I see a loss in the mass I have gained?
If it feels good, I'll do it.

Depends on what you mean by 'tone down'
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei

Higher reps lower wieght and not till failure. Right now I am doing mostly low reps high weight and to failure. It's killin me. Today I did high rep low weight and I had a little more energy but I didn't get much sleep last night. Gonna try it for a while and see how I feel.
If it feels good, I'll do it.

I think you'd probably be better off playing with your volume.
