Q&A: Impatience in a cut, scale weight when recomping, diminishing returns of bulking - Ep. 165

In this episode, I cover the following questions:Any tips to help impatience in a cut?Do you get diminishing returns in muscle gain with each new bulk? Is there anything special about the muscle-building capacity of your first bulk?Do you need to keep dropping cals in a deficit?If you eat at maintenance (a range, but an average of the same calories a week) and train doing progressive overload, will you gain muscle slowly and does that mean the scale will go up? Or stay the same over time?How does the thyroid affect fat loss?Started lifting seriously last year in January and I was in maintenance for 13 months, then started a calorie deficit since I am overweight. I kept (and keep) on lifting hard 3 times a week. Can I still build a decent amount of muscle after another 2-3 months in a deficit and then maintenance again?What are some underrated advantages of eating at maintenance calories?Links and resources:Sign up for one on one coaching with me: ⁠https://www.fittotransformtraining.com/coaching.html⁠Follow me on Instagram @nikias_fittotransform: ⁠http://instagram.com/nikias_fittotransform/⁠Visit my website: ⁠https://www.fittotransformtraining.com⁠Sign up for my free newsletter: ⁠https://mailchi.mp/157389602fb0/mailinglist⁠Sign up for the No Quit Kit email series on retraining your mindset for long-term fat loss success: ⁠https://mailchi.mp/4b368c26baa8/noquitkitsignup⁠Take my free “Should You Cut or Bulk First?” quiz: https://nikias-dddr9p81.scoreapp.com/
