Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22048 posts | I think some degree of pressing and squatting strength loss will be almost inevitable... even for those with easy gainer status. | ||

I have only ever gained strength on a cut and I certainly don't gain strength easy. First two years of lifting I lifted 6 days a week consistently and didn't gain a whole lot of strength. | ||

If you are looking to just keep the strength you have already got you are mentally limiting yourself from the off. The key is to give yourself room to make changes as you go e.g don't drop calories massive from the start and do a ton of cardio / always make sure you eat a good bit before and after the strength training. | ||

I recommend the track - Slut Machine Member 6043, 955 posts SQ 350, BP 195, DL 350895.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | PaulSavage said: Not true.

Paul's logic is correct. Calorie deficit = Gains The only people I've ever known to get stronger during a cut are: a. Newbies b. People running Tren and Clengfilm | ||

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | I did it last year; dropped from 142kg to 126kg (back to 132kg now haha) Hit the cardio (stationary bike, walking and cross-trainer thingymebob), hard, but short and sweet (no more than 30mins at a time & everuy session bar legs (so 3 times a week)); cut carbs out after lunchtime, cut dairy and wheat right back, ate plenty of green veg, hammered eating meats (I'm not really a protein supplement user), drank loads of fluid, but maintained my heavy lifting on core exercises (bench, squats, deads, OH strict & push-press etc) Didn't lose any strength at all; but I did do it over a 12 week period and was strict from the word go! | ||

People running Tren and Clengfilm i'd even say B is unlikely... unless you've gone from genuine natty status to a first cycle cut. | ||

People running Tren and Clengfilm You are thinking about it in completely the wrong way. I've done it a bunch of times not as a newbie and on nothing. Using logic, if you are losing bodyfat and not muscle, why should you lose strength? Because of excessive amounts of hard cardio and a low calorie diet giving you f**k all energy so you have piss poor sessions on the weights? Definitely, but that's the exact wrong way to go about it. If done in the right way, the vast majority of people can gain strength whilst losing weight. | ||

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq | First you never lose only fat and not muscle, second if you gain strength on a cut then whats the point of being heavier and fatter for any period of time anyway. | ||
