If you're cutting down to very low levels of body fat then yes, you're probably going to sacrifice a bit of muscle in the process.⁣
⁣
However, it'll be a very slow process and it shouldn't be overly significant if your training and nutrition is properly dialed in.⁣
⁣
When most people complain about how they're "losing a lot of muscle" on a cut, it usually has little to nothing to do with actual muscle loss.⁣
⁣
Instead, it's the simple fact that they weren't carrying nearly as much muscle as they thought in the first place.⁣
⁣
They implemented a crappy bulking approach consisting of highly suboptimal training combined with an excessively large calorie surplus… and proceeded to pile on a bunch of body fat and water bloat which they mistook for being primarily muscle.⁣
⁣
Then they shifted into a deficit and dropped a good chunk of the fat and excess water weight - but since they now just look like a smaller version of their bulked up self without any real added definition - they conclude that what they lost was muscle.⁣
⁣
The truth is that implementing a proper muscle sparing cut is not that complicated.⁣
⁣
Drop into a deficit (how aggressive you go with it is mainly personal preference), continue training as normal, and keep your protein intake up.⁣
⁣
Obviously there are other details involved, but that's the majority of it.⁣
⁣
Bottom line?⁣
⁣
If you're losing a "large amount of muscle" while cutting, it's probably not actually muscle.⁣
