    Whatchu know about "recomping?"
    These days, the majority of serious lifters seem to be on continuous bulking and cutting cycles. I truly think this phenomenon became so popular because the practice benefited supplement companies, who profited from selling distinct products for bulking and cutting, thereby guaranteeing continuous, year-round customers. But I digress...
    Bulking is good for people who need to gain weight and for people who are in fact too low in bodyfat for optimal hormonal milieu for gaining muscle.
    Cutting is good for people who need to lose weight.
    And recomping is good for people who need simultaneous muscle gain and fat loss. Recomping means you stay the same weight while consuming the same (maintenance) calories while keeping protein high (a gram per pound of bodyweight per day) and gaining strength (engaging in progressive overload). The end result is a smaller, leaner, more athletic appearance, even though the scale doesn't change.
    In this video, I discuss recomping as a strategy and provide numerous anecdotes that demonstrate its efficacy.
    I hope you enjoy the content!

    “Just get to a comfortable body weight where you’re comfortable with the way you look then try to get stronger over time” that’s exactly where I figured out I’m at, this is the video for me! :D

    I’d love to hear more about your “strong lifting” program that I’ve heard you mention. Bodybuilding is cool but I’m sure a lot of us would like to hear more about becoming more athletic and stronger.

    This video just turned my day upside down, I’ve been bulking… and my father said “your looking too bulky” and it crushed me cause I thought I looked good in that moment and not too fat or anything… so I’ve been sitting here wondering what I’m gunna do because I don’t feel comfortable when bulking and I don’t feel comfortable not eating enough/shredded cause of the seemingly wasted workouts just to maintain muscle and not build muscle makes it so un-motivating to go to the gym. This video just helped me SO much, I really needed this sincerely thank you. I feel like this was made for me

      Omg I agree completely. I hate bulking bc I don't want to be heavier and softer looking. I hate cutting that fat I gained during the bulk. Always feel like I'm spinning my wheels and never getting anywhere. To just keep my weight at an average place and build muscle from there would be so amazing and more enjoyable. 👏👏👏👏

      @victoriagregoire567 3 года назад +1

      I was tempted to do the bulking and cutting phase but I didn’t want to be restrictive with cutting and I didn’t want gain so much fat so I researched recouping and it’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made

      Eat at maintenance, 1g protein per pound of body weight, lift heavy with compound movements. It's really that easy.
