You’ve got this bro 💪

How long did it take for you to drop that much weight? And how much of a deficit were you on, I'm on a cut rn and I'm tryna find out how long it would last

@@Bradymart27 I did it over 6 months by choice. Could’ve been faster but I wanted to preserve as much muscle as possible. I was roughly in a 500 calorie deficit.

@@CollinJr ay nice job my guy, I'm 2 months in rn

Same I just starting a serious cut this week

Him and Jeremy ethier. Both use a lot of research based conclusions on how to train and stay healthy plus safe.

👍🏽

Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you!

That's great bro keep going

💪🏽Keep it up

@@Fitness4longevity thank you good sir 💪🏾

Cutting is typically a temporary, intense, max effort, focused, fat loss sprint to either accelerate your fat loss to a new baseline or prep for a season/competition. Sounds like you’ve been improving your lifestyle, and congratulations on the success, but those in the know wouldn’t call something in excess of a year a “cut” - no criticism intended - but most cutting guides (and studies) are for shorter periods of time than you’re reporting and the body can tolerate “cutting” protocols gracefully for only so long. They’re intense. It sounds like you’re doing what would typically be called “recomposition” - since you’re making good gains and losing fat. Those strategies are probably better to be working with, and more likely what you’re actually doing, in practice. Cutting is about maybe adding a tiny bit of strength or muscle mass if you’re lucky, but the majority of the effort (and focus) is spent on conservation of your muscle mass and getting the fat burned off at the maximal rate that you can without losing too much muscle in the process. You’re doing a good thing for yourself, just exercise care with your research so that you don’t end up applying short term strategies in a way that slows your overall progress.

@@grumpysteelman I appreciate the feedback! Will definitely be vigilant in making sure I tread correctly

💪🏽

Without decent mobility your performance is limited along with your results ultimately.

Ultimately the the body adapts to the stress but if it’s working no reason to change. I recommend implementing some variety( mixing up the variables, circuit train or calisthenics) but stick to your core program 💪🏽

@@Fitness4longevity cheere mate thanks for the tips🤝

@@moloyjr1909 not a problem bud 👊🏾

Assuming you mean by lifetime bulker that you are fat , you won't lose any muscle when in a deficit. You'd actually gain muscle as your body would be fueled by the excess fat. Just don't be in a very large deficit and keep your protein intake as high as possible.

@@prathamjain8929 broscience. Quiet u clown

@@Xilladan093 hes wrong in saying he wont lose any muscle, but he would certainly recomp, so he could hypothetically gain some muscle(assuming hes not advanced)

For an experienced lifter, it is highly unlikely to gain strength on a cut. You should, however, continue with strength training, so your body retains some stimulus to maintain its muscle.

@@Xilladan093 hes actually right though, assuming the guy is a newbie he would definitely gain muscle while losing fat i.e body recomposition

Drop in protein for recovery and carbs that provides energy for recovery. Try to increase sleep and water intake to aid with recovery

lol I like it. I will consider that.

@@PictureFit Oh and by the way, how is your sleep schedule going? did you manage to improve it?

@@lebouvreuil7152 Thanks for asking! I was negative on sleep apnea so that's great. Right now I'm working to improve my sleep hygiene by having a more consistent sleep time. Work in progress!

@@PictureFit Good to know! I guess you must have a busy schedule with KZfaq, training and your private life but I'm glad to know that you don't suffer from sleep apnea and that you're working on that. A huge relief and source of motivation!

@e.e yeah just more slowly. considering that i can lose 3 pounds a week and still get stronger its really as simple as training hard enough

@@bballmaster1209 “smart scale” i don’t think a scale can calculate ur muscle mass very accurately 🤦‍♂️

@@MlgProAndrew you use it to track trends over time, not for exact numbers. ive noticed consistent trends of fat loss over the last 6 months and fluctuating around the same LBM. if you care about exact numbers go get a dexa and pay $100 for a slightly more reliable figure thats still not fully accurate

You haven't even watched it yet.

@@GeorgeKottakis i watched the beginning and commented

If you do eat unhealthy on a cut, then you most likely aren’t hitting your Macros/Protein Intake which is very important on a Cut.

Yes. They call it "if it fits my macros"

You can eat 3 burgers a day, and if thats all you eat for the day you will most likely be in a deficit. But if you think this is smart idk what to tell you

Very difficult to quantify- repsxsetsxweights covers that in a nice lil formula

@@abkonk what‘s difficult to quantify?

Effort is what builds muscle /preserve muscles

@@2RBeast agreed, but that‘s not what I‘m saying at all

@@coudini you do count volume as sets x reps x weight is volume. So if you increase the reps or the weight, by default you’re increasing the total volume you’re doing. If hypertrophy happens from rep 3-30+ than any sort of reps you increase within a set it increases the overall volume. Now if you apply more effort in less sets you’re hitting more overall volume because you’re doing more weight or reps

oh my great stuff! I admire your efforts, I've been on mine on 300-600 deficit for about 4 weeks

3 months ?!! How are you even sleeping bro

1300 is really excessive

I did this through September to January and lost 30 pounds in that time lol. Some of it may be muscle but definitely more fat, I wouldn't worry unless you feel like shit

The bigger problem is that you might be harming your metabolism in the long run being on a constant large deficit..

definitely. Im 15 and on about 700 calorie cut since a month and I feel my strength increasing with a visible clear increase in muscle mass

It would be slower to gain strength but not impossible. Just work out after your fast as you need food as fuel for energy

Isn’t bulking and cutting without training just yo-yo dieting?

@@brandonloukota4760 not if you are

@@brandonloukota4760 lol I think so

@brandon loukota I am just saying random bullshit
