Cutting while on - How much can it change?

[nisser]

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on this are. The standard way to diet is to go 500 calories below your maint cals which will average out to about a lb/week. How further have you all been able to push it while on as test is supposed to be help and prevent some of the muscle loss while in a catabolic state.

muscle loss in inevitable when dieting and burning up cals in cardio.

How much depends on how fast you cut the weight. If you take a month to lose 5 pounds of fat, vs 5 months... big difference on muscle atrophy

i think the key is to never let yourself get too fat, even when bulking.
