Okay I need a little help with this. I got a buddy that is cutting down and wants to carb cycle . he is not training for a athletics or training to maintain his lean muscle. his workout week is like this for example.

Monday: Bi's tri's
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: Chest
Thursday: Legs, Cardio "hes wanting to cut cardio because som bb.com article said screw cardio for fat loss"
Friday: Back.

now from my understanding carb cycling is more for keeping lean not cutting or for more of a athlete.

I think Keep daily carb amounts low and space them out for pre and post workout is better for cutting. What do you guys think?
