Be on gear or sarms. There. Theres the real answer he wont tell you.
My guys traps and shoulders got bigger on a cut…not more cut but actually bigger. Definitely upped the dose.
You obviously need to tren hard on a caloric deficit
Why would people on gear give advice to normal people?
You are probs deffo one of the top 5 legit TH-camrs I listen to. Glad I found ur channel
Very understated strategy that almost seems like common sense, but simultaneously exposes so many people come competition time
Yes indeed!!
Great job super informing love the video keep up the great work Brendan
This was the MOST informative video on cutting properly, I cannot tell you how frustrated I’ve been trying to find someone who explains it sufficiently
Intelligent, easy to follow advice. Much appreciated. 👍🏻✨
Love the daily uploads Brendan, keep them coming. Also, solid delivery of content and really nice presentation. Also agree on protein recommendations, I personally go quite a bit higher than the ''optimal'' recommendation of 1.8g/kg, which I find a bit low since I really enjoy eating a ton of protein. Cheers !
Best timing for me literally started a cut today. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos dude.
You’re welcome Kyle!
You can’t w/o steroids. If you cut, you always lose a little muscle.
Loving the daily uploads
Been following your channel for a few months now Brendan and first time commenting. Just want to say I really like your content. Keep up the hard work!
Yo! My brother, this was incredibly helpful and informative (I took notes) great presentation and those weighted pull ups tho ... new subscriber here, keep up the good work. Peace from Denmark 🇩🇰
Very effective and understandable way of establishing a true cutting phase. I am still having slight difficulty with the mathematics but my workouts are very intense. The diet is the concept I need assistance on..
great info here... thank you 💯
Great video man, especially the information on progressing cardio. In the future, it would be cool to see a video on your favorite assistance and accessory lifts for powerlifters, and how they differ based on an individual's weak links and personal leverages.
Amazing work keep it up
Thank you for this video man, starting my first cut now and am very glad to have seen this video!
Been watching your videos for awhile and I always appreciate the content, both informative and blogs. For the informative when its like "__ number of tips" for something, will you add timestamps in the description, comments, or even in the video itself please, so we can jump around quicker when revisiting videos?
JUST what i needed
Loving all the new content! On your 12 week sub max powerbuilding program, do you recommend a week deload between each of the 3 blocks?
Hands down best health channel on TH-cam.
Thank you for sharing
Hey Brendan, is it ok to join Fusion program at whatever time? I have a meet 18th of September so I am training for that now, but I am considering joining your powerbuilding program, maybe with squats everyday addition, after the meet, for my off-season. Thanks for all the content you provide us with!
Hey Brendan, i remember a while back you were talking about spot reduction for fat and how it may not be broscience anymore, could you make a video on that?
I just want to clarify things about the re-feed. The re-feed day/s should not be high enough in calories so that you wont fuck up your weekly caloric deficit right?
Btw I love your channel, extremely underrated in my opinion.
damn, i already did heavy lifts today with some boxing at the end but now i just wanna go back to the gym hahaha
Thanks 🙏🏼
Great video
wow was literally just thinking about this
What is your opinion about mini cutting, which is done in deload weeks?
Should we watch the video, listen to you, or read the paragraph? We can't do all 3 at the same time!
Many times I had to pause the video to read the paragraph before carrying on
Hope that makes sense - less is more my friend
Oh, and I really like the last tip - never heard that one before and totally makes sense - I'll be definitely incorporating that one as you're 100% right, it feels so good after a 'cheat meal/day' and naturally stress will be reduced. Nice one!
Lets assume i have 8kgs to lose what will be better in terms of maintaining strength and increasing size? 1 aggressive cutting of 4kg in a mnth then trying to maintain it for a mnth then again aggressive cutting 1mnth?
Or 2 slow cutting for 3mnths straight and loosing around 7-8kgs?
Thanx in advance
Looking jacked!!!
this is by far your best video
Thank you man! A ton more coming this week!
@@BrendanTietz well am here to stay 💪🤣
If you increase protein, what do you decrease carbs or fat? And by how much?
Sir, I am 22. I started my cutting journey with 22 percent body fat and in 3 months i am on 17 percent body fat but i have lost my strength but no muscle loss. I ate around 250 grams of carbs on those days. What should I do now to bring my body fat to 14-15 range ? I dont want to lose strength now😢
Thanks cristian mcaffery
Thanks for your advice, I was going to do a very, very slow cut, 100 cals a day but as I am skinny fat and very underweight, I will do 300-350 calories a day.
Thing is, I have damaged wrists and cannot lift much weights, just do light bands so I don't know how the bulking will work out.
I have stubborn fat on chest, tummy, hips, weigh 48.35 kg at 166cm height, 14% body fat.
Any advice for my situation appreciated
Been going higher protein and cutting simple sugars/carbs
What if i lisss, do 10-12k steps every day if i cant hit the steps due to untimely reasons could i replace it with a 30 minute incline walk session fast pace every day is that fine?? If i walk 3 times for 30 minutes thats 3k steps every 30 minute walk which is 100 calories and a incline liss session would burn about 260 calories. Could i do this everyday and still keep strength
Shouldn't a 20min walk on a treadmill work 5x a week? I'm trying to drop from 28% down to 15%
Love it, I definitely cut aggressively at first I started in a 1400 calorie deficit so lost weight pretty quickly but now Im down to around 1 lbs a week slowing the cut down as Ive gotten leaner. Calories are now around 2800 when I started them at 3000.
What do you think the optimal bodyfat percentage is for performance and muscle building? I have always thought the heavier you can get the stronger and more muscle you will be able to put on but I have realized it isnt always true. I see a lot of the top powerlifters are actually pretty lean. For me I tried pushing a higher bodyfat but I could just tell my body was working harder to maintain that. I am thinking i want to get around 12-15% and go into maintenance from there to try to grow. Maybe a video on this topic would be interesting to see what your thoughts are.
It’s really dependent on genetics and your body fat set point. For most males optimal gaining state is around 10-15% body fat however it can change so much from lifter to lifer! I’ve seen guys who need to be at 20 after years of being extremely overweight and I’ve also seen the assholes who can stay at like 10% year around!
@@BrendanTietz hey man dont call yourself an asshole. That may be you now lol. But forsure, I guess everyone has to try things out themselves. Kind of why i wanted to push a higher bf to see how it went. Definitely glad it didnt help too much because I like feeling more athletic. Enjoying the frequent posts. Have a good week!
Started cutting today, wish we luck
Now , is this attainable without gear ? lol
4:50 you’re using belt for doing squats but not for deadlifts? 😗
easy: cut slowly, keep protein high
Best way to do it is to it is the way you did it that is to say use performance, enhancing drugs whilst cutting
So I suppose all my drug tested athletes in the usapl and natural bodybuilding world who also do this don’t count?
@@BrendanTietz that second photograph of you is someone that's on gear end of story
Both photos I’m using gear, I’m not denying that at all. It doesn’t discount the progress. Ironically I was on more gear in the first photo. I transitioned to trt in second. I’m not here preaching natty, I’m preaching principles that work for everyone. I don’t have a single client using gear. I’ve had some in the past but for whatever reason right now I don’t have a single enhanced athlete under me. I’m not sure why this topic is so triggering to you, I hope you feel better bro
He forgot to mention gear. Take steroids to cut that fat.
I’m a 15 year old with decent amount of muscle. Should I cut or not since I’m still a teen
I know exactly how to cut the best way, probolem is I literally cant afford food thats protein dense enough to reach my protein goal within the given calories on a cut
First! Idk what I would do without TH-cam notifications
Hahahaha my man!
why is there a reflection on his forehead in one pic and not the other? oh, i guess it must be so that he gets favorable lighting on one of them to look ripped.. is it apple or the user.. in any case ...
So lean you can see you....... PRIME RIBS
Ill see myself out on that one...
💯🔥👍
Pump and down lightning? What is this bs
A large cut 16 pounds 🤣🤣🤣🤣....i went from 330 at 32% bf to 225 at 8%....took just over 2 years....now thats a large cut my man. I wish i only had to lose 16...you look great bro keep up the good shit
Wow, can't believe you only started off with 50cals cardio 3x a week
Without watching the video i can tell you
#1 eat in a small deficit 250-300 calories per day
#2 make protein 50% of your calories
#3 train heavy non of that light shit
#4 walk 30-40 min a day everyday
#5 get 8-9 hours of sleep per day
#6 stay hydrated
#7 make sure you hit all micronutrient daily values to keep body function and hornones in check
Done
Now lets watch this stud and see how i did
My macros i like for cutting
50% protein
30% carbs
20% fat
The macros i like for maintance and even building is
33% protein
33% fat
33% carbs
Yes i know 33 x3 is 99 but you will never be at 33 on all three anyway the goal is to keep it as close to this as possible. The body seens to really love this balance
Verrei negli occhi alla tipa che ha parlato alla fine
People really mess up the refeed/cheat. It isn't supposed to be a free for all, gorge yourself on pizza and ice cream. It's really about getting your gylocogen levels back up and telling your body it is not actually starving so doesn't need to use muscle as fuel.
So ur saying it took you 5 months to lose 15lbs ?? Seems like you could’ve done that much faster on a little bit higher of a deficit and supplementing carnitine & LISS daily cardio 🤷♂️ just my opinion
You are correct sir however I was trying to maintain strength which is very hard at these body fat levels. I successfully did! Was able to compete at 198s and increased my wilks. If goal was just body comp I would have gone a little faster but even then gotta be careful with muscle loss.
@@BrendanTietz I feel it ! Congrats that’s awesome. I did a dirty bulk way too long and got too much mass & im trying to get them abs back before summer so im turning up the heat at the risk of losing a bit of muscle
Not a lot of research on higher protein intakes but I know the basis of Martin Berkhan’s leangains method is having close to 50% of calories coming from protein. So, definitely a lot of in person accounts of it having some benefit from experienced gym rats
Brendan you're cool and all but we need more Kristin
Did you subscribe to her TH-cam? I put out a community post about it! Go sub!
@@BrendanTietz Haha somehow I missed this....
Too much bro science
Wonder why these channels don't get the credit they deserve think need to piss off bts and blackpink fans to come here muahahahahaahaha
Love the use of fake weights in this video 👌
Hahahaha yo wait I’m really curious which part you believe is fake? This is so interesting to me. I’ve never been accused of this. Which part??
Kilograms? I'm outta here
I think I'm going to be bulking for a year or so before I use this info, but I will definitely use your approach when it's that time 🕰️
