CUT, BULK, OR MAINTAIN? HOW TO PICK YOUR CALORIE GOAL.
So you want to gain muscle and lose weight.
What should you do?
Gain, bulk, mass? Or lean down, shred, get ripped?
Here’s what I recommend for the majority of people coming into my coaching service.
PHASE 1
CUT - let’s trim off excess fat, and get you looking toned and lean. This way, you get a quick win, and a clean foundation on which to build.
PHASE 2
REVERSE DIET TO NEW MAINTENANCE - slowly increase calories to stoke your metabolism
PHASE 3
BUILD - slight surplus to really start to pack on muscle, without excess fat.
