#25. Strategies to help keep muscle in a diet phase or cut


Listen Later

Our primary goal when starting a cut or diet phase should not just be about how much weight or fat we can lose. We should be equally focussed on preserving as much muscle as possible!

Aggressive deficits, excessive cardio, low protein intake and high stress can all create a sub-optimal environment for keeping your hard earned muscle. In this episode I cover eight strategies that will help preserve muscle mass in a diet phase.

If you are currently in a cut or are planning a fat loss phase this episode will give you plenty of practical take-aways for you to implement.
