Gaining muscle is hard work and It takes time, consistency, proper programming, and dedication day in and day out to build. Guys who have put in the time to build muscle know this, and the idea of losing even an ounce of their hard-earned muscle is anything but comforting. The problem is that most guys don't just want to be huge and muscular-they want to be lean, shredded and have a visible six-pack. There will come a time when you need to cut body fat so you can show off the muscle you've built through your hard work and commitment to the gym. The good news is that the science behind losing weight is simple. The First Law of Thermodynamics that states energy in minus energy out equals a change in energy and here-s how that relates to fat loss. Calories minus body processes and activity results in a Change in weight loss or weight gain. The problem is that weight loss doesn't just account for fat; it also includes weight loss from lean tissue. As stated earlier, the last thing we want is to lose muscle and we want the majority (if not all) of our weight loss to come from fat. Because of this, our goal should not be to lose weight but rather lose body fat and improve body composition. Luckily, there are 6 steps you can take to maintain muscle while cutting fat to help you achieve the ripped look most guys are after

Wow, thanks. I feel like this video was written for me. I can see that I've reduced my calories too low and reduce fat too much. I will reintroduce healthy fats such as avocados and eggs back into my diet. I'm losing weight but I see that I'm also losing muscle. I will try this approach outline in this video. Interesting, I used to watch these videos with the other two brothers. I assume the new guys in this video are related to the other two that don't do videos anymore. It'll be interesting to find out what happened to them, as I enjoy also watching them in the videos. Thanks for good content.

Hey I need some advice. I have been on a bulking phase for about 3 months and I have been gaining weight. This weight has only been about 5-7 pounds. I am a distance athlete that performs about 65 miles of intense cardio a week. Bulking has been a difficult process but I'm ready to start cutting. How do I cut properly without digging into my athletic performance and causing a major energy/muscle loss. I eat well but I'm not sure what kind of calorie deficit I should be enduring. 5-10, 155-157lbs. 20 years old.

I really appreciate and enjoy your videos thank you for all the information. I recently started working out with weight lifting I am in a calorie deficit I keep my protein intake to about. 8g for every lb of body weight. I am 5'11'' 223 about 29% body fat. I recently started a new job where I am walking 20, 000-30, 000 steps a day. And I do full body workouts 3xs a week because of my work schedule. Is my cardio an issue if my goal is to lose weight and retain the muscle I have built already?

Keep as strong while losing weight. Look at the numbers I mean real numbers. Powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters that go down a weight. I was a competitive weightlifter when I was younger, doesn't work like that. Let's face it if that were true there will be a lot of skinny weightlifters lifting the same amount of weight as they did at a higher weight. Good info but on this you are wrong. Stand corrected?

Cutting down to a low bf % is not that hard for me. However, once I'm below -12% my appetite goes through the roof and I'm constantly hungry even though I eat very filling food, tons of veggies and fiber, and even use thickening agents like Xanthan Gum. And I eat -3000 calories/day when I'm not cutting. It only goes away once my bf % rises again. Any tips on managing hunger AFTER a cut?

1. keep lifting weights (1: 18)
2. lift heavy (1: 53)-
3. no extreme caloric deficit (not under 75% maintenance) (3: 03)-
4. eat enough protein (min 1. 5g/kg) (4: 15)-
5. take dietbreaks (1week where u eat normally so ur body wont slow down) (5: 04)-
