Trimming down after bulking, or cutting, involves shedding excess fat while preserving muscle mass. It’s a crucial phase in bodybuilding to showcase the results of bulking and achieve a lean, defined physique.
Cutting effectively requires a calorie deficit, achieved through a combination of a meticulously planned diet and an intense exercise regimen. The diet should be rich in protein to protect muscle tissue and low in carbohydrates and fats to promote fat loss. Resistance training remains vital, focusing on compound exercises to maintain strength and muscle mass.
