Episode notes
Why Arms Can Look Flatter on Cut
- Arms looking flatter during a cut often reflects reduced glycogen and sarcoplasmic volume from less food.
- Performing a targeted high-carb refeed can reveal if size loss is due to diet or actual muscle loss.
Use Variety Over Sets For Hypertrophy
- For hypertrophy, perform fewer sets per exercise but use a greater variety of exercises.
- This approach stimulates more muscle fibers and promotes balanced growth across the muscle group.
Abs Visibility Mainly Body Fat
- If you cannot see abs clearly, losing more body fat is generally required over adding weighted ab exercises.
- Well-developed abs appear with sufficient leanness from genetics and training involving bracing and compound lifts.
