How fat loss impacts muscle growth - With Dr. Eric Trexler - Ep. 116

In this episode, Dr. Eric Trexler and I cover a variety of fat loss-related questions, including: How low can your calories go without risking muscle loss? Does getting leaner enhance muscle growth in a subsequent bulking phase? Do maintenance phases between a deficit and a surplus have any benefits? How do you decide when to end a fat loss diet? … And more!
