An warm up is important to prevent injury and prime your body for workouts. 

It's a good idea to take 5-10 minutes to walk or use any form of cardio until you feel warm. 

Once you do that, perform a few light sets of the muscles you're about to workout. 

Start your workout with at least 3-5 light weight sets of the exercises you'll perform. 

You can do 1-2 warm up sets before a specific exercise, you should always work your way up to your working weight. 

The popular PPL of Reddit is commonly referred to the Metallicadpa PPL.

Yes you can do any program for cutting. 

You'll need to just adjust your macros and eat under your maintenance calories. 

The only issue may be recovery time. 

Drop the weight if you feel like you're struggling or overtraining.

Every exercise in nearly every program is interchangeable, even this one. 

You'll want to keep the main lifts the same, like bench press, squats, etc.

If you don't have a rack, you'll have to perform the exercises as best you can without a rack, this may mean dropping the weight and cleaning the weight over your head or doing dumbbell squats. 

These are the suggested alternative exercises:

• Seated rows: dumbbell rows or T barrows
• Face pulls: rear delt flyes and band pull apart
• Incline dumbbell press: landmine press
•  Triceps push downs: any triceps exercise
• Leg press: front squats
• Leg curls: glute ham raises
• Calf raise: any calf exercise

After you feel like completed this program, you can move on to a more complex program.

Programs recommended after this one:

• PHAT
• PHUL
• Madcows 5×5
• Texas Method

You can prevent overtraining by being aware and listening to your body. 

Here are some overtraining signs to look out for:

• Pain at joints like knees, elbows, shoulders, etc.
• Soreness at distal portion of muscle.
• Like feeling sore near joints.
• Lack of proper sleep
• Suddenly feeling sick or a cold coming on- immune system is compromised.
• Loss of libido
• Depression

Ignoring these signs and persisting with the program will eventually cause you to hit a plateau and possibly increase chance of injury.

If you're already experiencing these symptoms, take it easy and avoid pushing yourself for at least a week or two.

The Metallicadpa program is one of the most popular PPL's and it's like that for good reasons. 

It's flexible, customizable, and most likely can be done at any level of trainee. 

We recommend this program and sticking to it for at least 12 weeks for the best results.
