In this episode, I cover the following questions:
- Any tips to help impatience in a cut?
- Do you get diminishing returns in muscle gain with each new bulk? Is there anything special about the muscle-building capacity of your first bulk?
- Do you need to keep dropping cals in a deficit?
- If you eat at maintenance (a range, but an average of the same calories a week) and train doing progressive overload, will you gain muscle slowly and does that mean the scale will go up? Or stay the same over time?
- How does the thyroid affect fat loss?
- Started lifting seriously last year in January and I was in maintenance for 13 months, then started a calorie deficit since I am overweight. I kept (and keep) on lifting hard 3 times a week. Can I still build a decent amount of muscle after another 2-3 months in a deficit and then maintenance again?
- What are some underrated advantages of eating at maintenance calories?
