    I needed this... coming out of a cut currently. Appetite signals are wild; slightly overshooting TDEE. Will continue fighting the good fight! 😅

    Video on point again just finishing up week 6 of your winter bulk program! It’s great by the way.

    After my cut this year I first cut my cardio/steps to normal activity while keeping the same calorie intake for about a week or two then I slowly raised my calorie intake. I put about 1000 calories back on while only gaining 4 pounds back on. Now I raise my calories 100 at a time as weight settles. Weight stays the same for 3 weeks,up my calorie intake by 100. It’s painstaking for some but not me. I’m a natural lifter.

    This is a topic not talked about enough. I just finished my hardest cut of my life. I'm going to try to eat at maintenance or slightly above for the rest of the year.

  • @nintendoborn · 13 days ago

    Wha would say is the minimum amount of time to be on a maintenance phase after a bulk or a cut or is it different for each

  • @willervilles · 13 days ago

    “Solidifying” the bulk and the muscle gained with a maintenance phase gotta be the most bro-science thing I’ve ever heard
