Creator description · original textText language: English
Cutting calories doesn’t mean you need to train harder. 👇
A new study put this idea to the test.
Researchers compared 12 vs. 30 sets per muscle group per week while resistance-trained adults were in a 40% calorie deficit.
The result?
🔥 Both groups lost similar amounts of weight and fat.
💪 Both groups preserved their fat-free mass equally.
📈 Tripling training volume did not provide extra muscle protection.
Train with purpose. Recover like it matters.
Because it does. 🔥
