Hypertrophy Training in a Caloric Deficit

It may have been said already but if you built your muscle using method X, you should continue using this method to keep this muscle during a deficit. Suppose you change to method Y during your cut, your body probably won’t add much muscle from the new stimulus, but it is more likely to dump muscle that was attained from X method due to lower stimuli.

This is all hypothetical though. Most people over 10%BF won’t be losing muscle during a cut unless you’re deliberately training like a fuckwit.
