Keeping Muscle on a Deficit

You often hear people talk about recomping or “building muscle in a deficit”, but realistically the goal just needs to be to not LOSE muscle while you’re dropping fat. Unfortunately that’s easier said than done, but today I want to go over some considerations for giving you the best chance at keeping all that lean tissue on your next cut.

In episode 265 of The Drop Set I talk about how sleep, stress management, and program variables all set the table for your actual results.
