Can you gain strength while cutting?

No it is impossible to gain strength and lose weight

Don't listen to this fag.

It's possible if you're a beginner to intermediate level lifter.

But it's much harder than gaining strength while at maintenance or surplus calories, so you probably won't feel yourself getting stronger if you're cutting for an extended period of time.

You're more likely to maintain your strength cutting from 19% to 11% than gain strength. You're also likely to lose a little strength, but if you're doing heavy lifts and getting your protein and fats, it will be minimal.

Stop confusing strength and mass

If you want mass, yes, you can cut and gain mass but it requires exceptional dedication to dieting

Gaining strength while cutting probably not, but thats not my area of workout so I wouldnt say for sure.

>you can gain mass when cutting

Yeah if you're a complete newbie or on roids.

No.
SS+GOMAD is the only way to gain strength.

you lose weight THEN you start lifting

strength is a function of:
technique
neural efficiency
muscle cross sectional area (how swole you are)
segment lengths (long femurs? sorry about your squat)
muscle attachments (i've also heard some people call these "internal leverages")

unless you are detrained or a novice, you will not be gaining muscle mass / increasing muscle cross sectional area on a cut

without some radical surgery, segment lengths and muscle attachments are out of your control

you can gain strength on a cut by improving technique, and by becoming more neurologically efficient

keyword: can

in practice, it is very difficult to gain meaningful strength on a cut past novice or early intermediate, you are more likely to lose a tiny bit (shouldn't be much if you train right)

if you think you can get something out of your lifts by refining form and getting more efficient, doing a high frequency routine where you do relatively heavy weights with perfect form and never approach failure is the way to do so - think bulgarian, but less intense, or something like Pavel's routines or Dan John's stuff

yes.
eat at deficit on off days
surplus on lift days
coffee before workouts
bring intensity

REEEEEEE

im 180cm 85 kg with 60/92.5/115/145 and have love handles that ppl would consider high test

Fuck me and fuck you lucker dog

To answer your question: im 2 weeks into the cut and im slowly losing on pushing strength atm. Ohp set 3 reps 4 and 5 were super shaky. Squats and dl are same and could probably increase by 2.5 but i want to stay at the same weight to see how cutting will impact my strenght

According to science and in clinical studies, yes, absolutely

In real life situations and for the majority of people, no, it's too much work and too difficult to manage

It's easier to cut and then work your way back up.

So, if I've never lifted in my life and couldn't do five consecutive pushups until a couple months ago, I can gain strength/muscle mass while cutting?

I'm 5'11 212lbs somewhere around 30% bf or more.

>>40170357
no, you basically just learned how to use your muscles because you actually never used them before.

I started and ended ss while on a big cut. Still on a cut, still gaining strength using reddit ppl program.

4, 3, 2, 1 pl8 lifts achieved during that time. On the cut. So take that for what you will.
