How much muscle do you actually gain?
Hello! So, I recently read that when you are finished your muscle building phase, 50% of that weight is muscle and when you go into a cut, you lose 35% of that muscle you gained and only keep 15% of the muscle.. is there any truth to this? I feel like this would just be glycogen from the cut. Thank you
Fasted lifting for fat loss?
I’m currently at 415lbs, having lost a total of 240 and aiming to lose another 140ish pounds. I lift weights (full body) four days a week, and typically get 12-15k steps in a day. I always eat some sort of carb source/fruit before and during my 4-5 mile hikes, but almost always lift weights when I’m fasted. I don’t seem particularly fatigued when lifting. What’s the best strategy as I continue to lose fat and retain/gain muscle? Should I start eating before my lifts, rather than immediately after?
Upper/Lower Split
I just finished your full body workout split and I loved it! I’m going to start the upper/lower split and was wondering if I could do all 6 workouts over 1.5 weeks to lengthen the program from 12 weeks to 18 weeks? I currently do 4 weight training days per week and liked all 6 of the workout options (I didn’t want to pick 4 of the 6). Thoughts?
