How long before your strength comes back after a long ass cut??

Strength to weight ratio is directly proportional and indirectly proportional to the height/weight ratio.


In other words there is no way anyone can tell you exactly with any precision. Everyone is different

You start a lot of questionable threads...

cut implies caloric deficit or at least an increase in aerobics and less carbs unless your me. All that mean s less glycogenor fuel...savvy...I did the ulimate rip 2 months ago. Went from a rotund full fat faced MANLY FACED 216 to under 195 in 16.

It involved a fight with my gf, followed by a depressing fortnight of sex w a cum bucket to being thrown in my yard by a swat team and spending 13 day s in county lock up sleeping on concete with 23 brothers, covered in Iron Crosses no pillow or blanket and eating--------shit

Add detox at day 5 ,6 and 7 and I looked fkn shredded.

Try that next time Dirkdiggler..I m 210 today fat and don t give a fuck.

I've heard you have to build your glycogen stores back up after a cut that's sorta the basis for this question

I love you Teutonic, FULL homo.

I came off a very strict cut with 2hrs of agonizing cardio in ketosis at a deficit of about 2000 calories. I lost some lean mass, and was mentally exhausted. I believe that was for 6 months?

I started a bulk, and it took me (with AAS) a solid three weeks or so before I was feeling "strong" again. As Teut said glycogen stores have to be rebuilt and your body has to readapt. I suppose the first thing I notice going back to a surplus is I have traps again lol. Losing glycogen really makes you look flat, and when you flood those muscles with it again - they kind of stand at attention, all full and round.

Of course, it will vary from person to person, and the specifics to their cut/bulk/maintenance phase will determine the results a great deal. As long as you remain consistent, the desired results will come though.

My .02c

Thanks a bunch

Last time I came of an extreme cut, I ditched cardio and doubled my calories.... Within a week it felt like I was on a dbol/test cycle .. Strength and weight went through the roof.

No doubt it's diet related for me. Switch the diet back to maintenance, or bulk, and boom. Back to somewhat normal. I also drink straight breast milk from a silverback gorilla. It helped.

I literally can't bench 225lbs right now and I'm jacked

 

[bigben66]

Who gives a fuck what you can bench? - Are you a powerlifter? - If you are, why did you cut?

You can't have everything, you sacrifice power, strength and explosiveness to have abs, obliques and veins.

Once you've achieved that look, the choice to sacrifice abs, obliques and veins - for power, strength and explosiveness is down to you.

But can't expect to have the lot dude, 'cos that's just plain greedy!

that feels when you lose a bunch of fat, but you lift poverty weight now... this has been hard to wrap my head around for the last few months until I realized that the correlation between how you look and how much you lift doesn't really exist...

 

[snowpatrol123]

I've been losing most of my weight through moderate dieting and intense weight lifting, by focusing on periWO (especially intraWO) nutrition and have never felt this strong on a cut

My numbers are down from peak of offseason obviously, but not nearly in the shitter like they were this time last year during a cardio-heavy, serious deficit cut
