Description

Can you transform your physique without the traditional bulk and cut cycles? Or is this possible with body recomposition at maintenance calories?Today we have a question from from Wyatt about whether you can only make progress with your physique while bulking and cutting rather than attempt body recomposition. He also asks whether there is a difference between staying at maintenance calories and body recomp.In this episode, we explore how new or detrained lifters might benefit from this approach and the limitations of its effectiveness. We also hit on food tracking, protein intake, and training intensity, while considering the emotional and social implications of constantly oscillating between bulking and cutting phases.We then tackle the pros and cons of the bulking and cutting method for physique development, establishing healthy habits during a maintenance phase, obsessive behaviors and stress, especially for those susceptible to yo-yo dieting, and time-efficient muscle gains.
