Thanks! Ripplets said that you can't keep linear progression without eating like a pig.

It will be harder to progress on a cut after weights get heavy
You might want to switch to 3 rep sets

Try it and see.

I'm thinking of maintenance, not cutting. On begginer stage you gain some degree of recomp by staing on your TDEE and keeping macros in good proportions.

How about TM on maintenance?
i can't possibly become even fatter than now, I'm already at 23-24% bf.

Go on a cut first you fat fuck. Jesus Christ.

>>41770264
but i will lose all my strength gainz

>>41770465
If you cut right you will hardly lose any gains.

>>41769781
if you do maintenance than you are advance, why would you use a novice program?

this makes no sense at all

>>41770877
losing body mass means necessarily losing lean mass as well

whats your technique to minimize that?

>Don't cut more than 500 calories below TDEE
>Hit protein targets
>Maintain the same weight on your sets throughout the cut
>Sleep
There's no rocket science involved. Besides, your bulk will be much, much more effective if you start from 12% AND you'll look like you actually lift.

>>41771756
you mean to lift the same weight with no decrease nor increase?

so e.g. if cutting for 2 months, then lifting the same weight for 2 months?

>>41771768
Pretty much. You can increase if you think you can handle it and ofc decrease if you really must but the point is to keep it at least level and I find I'm usually unable to increase by any significant amount.
