Thank you for the making the video!!! Answered it very well!

Wasn’t there a meta-analysis done by Menno Henselmens that showed .82g/lb even on a cut was enough to preserve lean mass?

Keep it up man

perfect explanation i was looking for, thanks.

If taller lifters should keep their hips higher when deadlifting, do you still use the method of squatting down looking forward to find ideal hipheight?

I missed this one. It's good.

My takeaway - don’t cut below 12%. Not worth it.

How should I keep tightnesss when squating? When i deadlift i can brace correctly, but i cant seem to get the same tightness when squatting even lighter weight.

could someone cut by keeping calories the same and just increasing cardio to like 3 hours a day? seems like it'd be easier to get the absurd proportion of protein needed when cutting if your caloric intake didn't have to go down significantly

Coach. Do you watch the Stoltman Brothers? Or any other of the WSM competitors?

Jason, on the bench press I lose tightness after my first rep. The first rep feels nice and tight but after that my upper back and shoulders dont feel tight. Any cues or suggestions?

Breath and rebrace at the top as you start each eccentric rep.

With those high protein requirements when cutting would that still be the same for someone only trying to cut to around 14-15% rather than 12% or below?

@@JasonBlaha yes I agree, I was just wondering because I found a site that reference Helms recommendations and it meationed based on LBM. But I would have thought most people wouldn't know that like you said.

I have no dexa scan to confirm it, but in my experience i get better results with 1.8 - 2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight rather than an higher intake, and keeping the carb pretty high. But I'm over 15% bf

Jason, wouldn't cutting down to 210 be too low of body fat for you? Would that be healthy?

I don't think I will be sub 10%. At least if my math is correct.

Jason, I haven’t done serious lifting in around a year due to pandemic. My numbers before were around 80kg bench, 130kg squat, 150kg deadlift all for 5 reps. But I could just about bench 60kg in my first session back, I was gutted. Would u advise getting back on ICF 5x5 kinda like starting from scratch?

Jason , on your morning bison & rice , how many grams of rice is that ? I eat bison also as I find it digests much better for me than ground beef.

I generally believe protein companies came up with these huge protein intakes, look at Jim Stoppani he promotes 1.5- 2g for 1lb of bodyweight that ridiculous, I think you made a video on it years ago

Keep in mind that is not even remotely in the ballpark of what most enhanced lifters use on a cut. However it will give you some benefits here and particularly will prevent you from having low test as a result of your cut. Keep your protein high.
