I have never tried to cut while preserving muscle. It has always been extreme losing multiple pounds per week with no thought of losing muscle.
Everything I have read about a cutting cycle says to lift weights during the cutting cycle. This seems counterintuitive to me. Lifting breaks down muscle tissue and if in a calorie deficit, that broken down muscle will be lost.
Wouldn’t burning 600 calories walking conserve more muscle than lifting weights and burning the same amount of calories?
I just have worked so hard to gain muscle that I want to do it right. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Will be doing
600mg test per week
75-100mcg t3
Around 1.25 mg letrozole/week
