Awesome man. Glad you're still trucking along. I went too hard at a very dirty bulk and this is the prefect video I didn't ask for.
You’ve got this bro 💪
I just finished my cut from 223lbs to 186lbs. The only thing that changed was my rep range because I got a bit weaker so started to get into higher reps. That worked for me specifically.
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
Was just digging into the topic myself, because I'm currently on a cut. Perfect timing!
Same I just starting a serious cut this week
Dude this guy is amazing he is literally the most genuine fitness youtuber you can find
Him and Jeremy ethier. Both use a lot of research based conclusions on how to train and stay healthy plus safe.
I'm agree with this study. I never reduce my workout parameters on Ramadan fasting. I can't make new PR or progress, but I try to keep my performance steady.
man youre such a blessing to the fitness scene thanks for everything u do
👍🏽
I love your videos! Keep up the great work ❤️
Love how you present these videos!
Good vid brother! Thanks for the info!
Keep up the awesome work man!!
As somebody who was skinny fat and lost nearly 70 lbs sustainably at home with just a pair of dumbells and a barbell, I can vouch for the fact that this indeed dosen't apply to beginners. I was able to put on decent amount of muscles despite being in a deficit, just by increasing my over-all protein intake and adding weights to my training along with long duration low intensity cardio.
💪🏽
I always run high frequency and high volume on a cut. I just train away from failure. Excellent results
Best advice I can give you is you need to do things right from the beginning. If you don't have experience get help. Find fitness coach and invest in a meal plan. Good thing for me I didn't need coach. I just got meal plan from Next Level Diet. I was losing 10 pounds a month.
That's great bro keep going
been watching you since 2016
keep it up love you man
Your rock dude! Thanks for the hard work you put into this!
Another awesome and incredibly insightful video
Thank you for uploading this at the right time
Thanks for the video. Big love
I'm at the tailend of my cut from 195 to 148 (goal of 145) and i have been doing progressive overload training with a pretty successful journey!
💪🏽Keep it up
@@Fitness4longevity thank you good sir 💪🏾
Quick answer: no
More accurate answer: it depends
awesome as always 👍😊
You've been back for awhile but this is the first video of yours that popped up on my recommended. Glad you're back!!!
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Bro, just at the right time i had this question on my head LOL. Thanks bro
This video in it's most 'fundamental' definition is the best way to properly train in a deficit
I can't express how happy I am that you are back in RUclips bro!
I'm 5ft 8 . I went from 240 to 188. I'm still cutting. But this all took my over 10 months. I still got 9 weeks to go. But im just trying to maintain strength at this point. I try and lift heavy at first . Then as I tire I work for a good pump and care less how heavy I'm lifting. Also im not a new lifter. So the muscle was there just needed to be revealed .
💪🏽
Great video!
Was there any effect on starting body fat % on lean mass spared during the cut phase?
Awesome video
Thank you!
I've been doing mini cuts intermittently with lean bulks, and IMO the sweet spot is 300-500 below maintenance, I noticed I had to include a bit more de-load periods but overall even through these 3-4 week cuts I was still making progress strength-wise(these mini-cuts kept me what I think is a good body fat percentage range(12%-15%). If I tried to push as hard as I did during the above maintenance periods I'd begin to accumulate muscular strains and DOMs would be worse.
Here’s something simple. Cut til you make the weight you set as your goal. Then punch back to a maintenance calorie intake and train. Ppl get too fucking deep into this shit. Use protein as your main source of calories, fill in the rest while eating clean and train. Doesn’t matter whether you’re in a deficit or surplus. You always train within your body’s limit. Anything past that, you’re an ego lifter & there’s no amount of science or info to help you there because you’re not listening in the first place. Always stay natty & lift for another 20 years. Or jump on the sauce and sacrifice 20 years of your life for an extra 2 inches 🤷♂️ hope that’s simple enough
💪🏽
I've been cutting since late 2020, started at 300 I'm a lil under 230 right now. I've been training high volume with progressive overload and my compound lifts have actually increased along with muscle mass. I could never bench 225 when I was heavier and now I could, strange how our bodies work lol. I eat anywhere from 120-150 grams of protein a day
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
💪🏽
I need to make sure I don't get injured during a cut, even in moderate deficits I've had issues with old/new tweaks flaring up.
This channel is alive
I love how long this cannels been around
can you make another video about body recomposition.
Hey bro could you make a video or find a study about lifting weights on an empty stomach??
Progressive overload on a cut -- easier said than done. The only way to do that is if you were really phoning in your bulk phase, but why bulk if you're not going to push your training?
it would be interesting if you could do a video on how important mobility is. i'm enjoying going to the gym for about a year now and my family is incessant about how important "mUh MoBiliTy" is and i'm interested in how important it really is.
Without decent mobility your performance is limited along with your results ultimately.
Perfectly uploaded 2 days before Ramadan
To qoute coach Greg “train harder than last time”
Could you make a vid about exercising with weights on?
For example, jogging with 5lb ankle and wrist weights
Right before Ramadhan start, perfect timing!
Hay bro I’m 13 y/o and I seen your Vids before but it was like a long time ago and I forgot about your Channel and then coach Greg Brang you up in one of his Vids And I was like bro I know that guy he’s so cool and has really good information so then I went to your channel and subscribed. Lol 😂 and I just gotta say I really enjoy your videos can’t wait for the next and hope you have a fantastic day
Yayyyy more reserved timee ❤️❤️
can u make a video for what’s best during ramadan?
Is it necessary to change programms every 3/4 months? I heard that the longer you do certain exrecised the more your muscles get used to this specific exercise and thus decreasing the challenge on the muscle aka less gains
Would really love a vid on this question :)
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 👊🏾
Ive recently just noticed this, i was cutting and it took longer for my muscles to recover 3 to 4 days, back when i was bulking it takes only 2 days
Drop in protein for recovery and carbs that provides energy for recovery. Try to increase sleep and water intake to aid with recovery
As soon as ramadan starts i see this all i gotta say it cutting season baby
Lifetime bulker here starting my first actual cut, my question is how am I gonna progressively overload when my strength goes down drastically. Decrease weight heavily then go up from there maybe?
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
Can you take a look at working out while ill?
What will happen if we only drink water will it affect our muscles?
Can you make a video about cycling caffeine?
Awesome
More upload bro. I miss your content
He found a way to use the word caveat. Wish I could give two thumbs up for that.
I did give up pizza before starting my cut. Hitting deficits is super easy without pizza messing things up. I might actually just keep it out of my diet so I can just eat more food in general all of the time.
been hardcore cutting for 2 weeks and already the injuries start showing lol
I gained a significant amount of weight during Covid, and now have lost 75 pounds since august. Even while losing 2-3 pounds a week at a 1200 calorie deficit my smart scale says that I have been maintaining my lean mass over the last 6 months. It’s all a matter of truly training hard enough to progressively overload, and really focus on a high protein diet with a lot of fiber
@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
How am I supposed to Progressive Overload when I’m not even eating at maintenance calories (hard enough to progress doing just maintenance), and I WILL lose muscle mass on a cut. Just keep increasing # of sets thus increasing volume despite reduced weight and/or reps?
Good video! Maybe you could call a new series "GOSS" as in "Grain Of Salt Sundays"?
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 RUclips, 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!
I love your vids love from asim Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Nice video
You haven't even watched it yet.
@@GeorgeKottakis i watched the beginning and commented
I don‘t know if I can go as far and say the study is flawed, but they made one big mistake. In modern exercise physiology you don‘t count volume as reps x sets x weight. Because, as I‘m sure you know, muscles respond to a very wide rep range, wider than the typical 8-12 reps recommendation. We know that 3 to approximately 30 reps is equally effective in inducing muscle growth. All that counts is getting to or close to failure!
So the modern understanding of training volume is hard sets, meaning high effort sets near or to failure.
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
Been in a 1,300 calorie deficit every day for 3 months, hopefully I didn't destroy my muscle lol
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..
Is this bulk and cut what everyone is doing? I have tried to maintain for the last 15 + years and it's worked out ok for me... but been lots of hard work.
Is there such thing as a "dirty cut"? Like focusing only on a calorie deficit but not eating necessarily healthy
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
Make a video about Training in Ramadan when fasting pls!
Remember, consumed calories, isn't metabolized calories. Oh, and also, just listen to your body, all of this is pretty simple
Dude this is exactly what happened to me ! I was in a cut while training with progressive overload thanks to some crossfit classes (with almost half of the needed protein intake for building muscle) and i kept making gains. As soon as i injured my foot, despite of keeping now correctly the protein intake and lifting regular weigths i began to loose muscle. Incredible how almost the most important factor for gains is lifting progressively heavier and to exhaustion.
im still doing my pushup
Maybe it is due my age (45) but I feel like I make 0 strength gains on a cut. I find my strength come with weight. I need to cut weight for grappling and powerlifting and I always felt it makes me slightly weaker.
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
Love you, but miss the old video format :(
You cant lose if your building
when you eat less you lift lest as your strength goes down so unless you are new to weight lifting or take drugs there is no way around this ,its good to mix it up with light hi rep workouts at 100 % to keep the muscle that you have already gained while bulking and also heavier low reps workouts at 90% to keep your strength up best you can without over loading stress as you're already under stress from not eating .you will still get up set when you cannot lift as much but least with the light weight sets you can get a deep burn and its something new if you have always gone heavy,the best you can do is try keep what you have but lost is always there.
There’s a new animation if u hit thumbs up for the video 😉
just in time for ramadan
ok
Not one mention of the word intensity. C'mon.
U are talking in some parts too fast
2022 Apr 9
Yeah you should probalby train harder while cutting
Can you make a video on Ramadan? And can i continue to strength train while fasting?
It would be slower to gain strength but not impossible. Just work out after your fast as you need food as fuel for energy
Nani?
Beginners squad here ✋
Please it's ramadan season for muslims can you please make a video about how to bulk and when to workout during ramadan pls.
bro. YOURE beautiful
You shouldn’t be cutting in the first place. Just do more cardio. Eating less food is detrimental to your gains
Yesyesuesyed
💪Pump ❤it🏋up🥤🔝🌐🏃💃🤸🤳
So basically lift heavy on a cut well no duh
YEWah whoo
moral of the story: progressive overload
Hi
second
I love protein 😂😂protein
You don't have to train differently during a cut if you don't train at all ;)
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
This is bullshit you will not at all be able to train as hard as when you were in a surplus in a cutting phase
Hey man, Can you PLEASE do a video on how to workout during Ramadan?
I’d say beginners shouldn’t cut. Easily can become unhealthy, for any number of reasons
