Cutting Without Losing Strength
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2026 4:45 am
Cutting was probably the hardest phase for me because I expected to feel just as strong while eating less the first few weeks were rough but I learned not to slash calories too aggressively. Keeping my protein high and continuing to lift heavy helped me hold onto most of my strength ialso stopped stressing over daily scale changes because they were all over the place. Once I focused on weekly progress instead the process became much easier mentally it wasn't the fastest cut but I looked better and kept more muscle than I expected.
