Should i lower volume of workout when cutting?

Should i lower volume of workout when cutting?I have lost about 7lbs since I started to cut. I think it was about 1 and a half or two months ago. I track my calories and I follow it very closely on myfitnesspal. The eating part of the cut is not hard. I get enough proteins in because i do meal prep every Sunday so i have no problem with my diet. The only problem I have is I can not keep up with my workout. I feel stressed when i go workout. It is not fun anymore. I follow coolcicade's PPL routine except i modify a little to fit me. Flat Barbell Bench Press: 4x5-6 Seated (or Standing) Barbell Shoulder/Overhead Press: 3x5-6 Incline Barbell Bench Press: 3x5-6 Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise: 3x10-12 Rope Pushdowns (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Overhead Dumbbell Extension or similar triceps exercise: 3x10-12 Shrugs(circuit machine or dumbbells): 3x10-12 Pull (Back/Biceps): Barbell Rows: 3x5-6 Lat Pulldowns with (Long Bar or V-bar) (circuit machine): 3x8-10 Seated Rows (circuit machine) - optional if already doing barbell rows: 3x8-10 Face-pulls: 3x-10-12 Barbell Bicep Curls (Alternate between close and normal grip): 4x-10-12 Choice of one other bicep exercise (typically Hammer Curls): 3x10-12 Legs (Quad/Ham/Calves): Barbell Squats: 4x5-6 Leg Press (optional if already doing above squats): 3x8-10 Leg Extensions (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Hamstring Curls (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Standing Calf Raises (circuit machine): 5x10-12 So I can not keep up with this volume and the weight. I was able to do 4 sets of 6 reps @ 175lbs bench before cutting, and today I can only do 3 sets of 6 reps 175lb and 1 set of 175lbs for 3 reps. I am slowly losing strength and it is very depressing. My question is should i cut down my volume when I cut? I want to make gym fun again. If i cut down my volume and i complete my workout, I wont feel guilty and that will make working out fun again. People of reddit that have cut before, do you modify your workouts? Do you lower your volume? Any tips. Thanks. submitted by /u/bluejimmy168 [link] [comments]
