>Eats at a deficit
>Surprised performance is bad
>AMRAP
Tbh when you're on a deficit, if you're trying to maintain strength, it helps to do lower volume, heavier weight.
If you're wanting to maintain or even gain while eating at a caloric deficit, you need to really dial in both diet and training.
Link is extremely cute and hot in these new games.
>Things that happened
i understand the skepticism but here i am i cant lift shit all of a sudden
Wait, what were your lifts before this?
Because it seems like you didn't do a proper bulk to gain muscle, and therefore lost what little muscle you had on a cut
I could do like 8 pullups 2 weeks ago, now i cant do one. sure my cut was aggressive but i didnt expect my muscles to disappear overnight
You’re cutting way too fast and burning muscle instead of fat. Try 1900 calories for awhile until you stop losing weight.
You need to do a similar routine to the one used to build muscle when losing weight as when gaining weight. You may have to back off the volume, but only do that if you actually need to to recover. Otherwise, try to keep weight and volume up or even improve if possible.
So maingaining?
You need to bulk bro stop with the cutting nonsense
I don't want to get skinnyfat again
you need to get fat
if you cut from skinnyfat before actually having gained muscle you will just end up more skinnyfatty and eventually auschwitz mode. just take the L, bulk and lift hard as frick for a year or so and then cut. you're not magically gonna go from skinnyfat to ottermode on a fricking 1600kcal diet lmao
