The Truth About Deficits & Muscle Growth A deficit means you’re not building muscle—you’re just trying to hold onto what you have. Prioritize adequate protein, proper training, and stress/sleep management when cutting. 💡 Ask yourself: Am I dieting at the right time, or am I just trying to "fix" my physique without enough muscle? 2. Stop Chasing Fat Loss—Build First, Cut Later Fat loss reveals, but you need muscle first to reveal anything. Muscle takes years, not months—accept the fuller feeling during growth phases. 💡 Action step: Give yourself 2+ years of proper training before evaluating muscle-building results. 3. The Right Way to Train for Muscle & Definition Stick to progressive overload, keep key exercises for years, and train muscles through full ROM. Focus on stimulus over weight increases—quality reps matter more. 💡 Action step: Identify 5 core movements you’ll stick with long-term and progressively improve. 4. Mindset: Treat Training Like a Skill, Not Just a Workout Stop switching programs—commit to mastering execution and strength. See this as a multi-year process, not something quick. 💡 Ask yourself: If this were a degree, am I studying enough, or just winging it? 5. Train to Enhance, Not to Shrink The physique you want comes from building, not dieting. Fear of feeling "fuller" keeps most women stuck. 💡 Mindset shift: Stop seeing “bigger” as bad—muscle fullness leads to definition, not bulk.
