What's going on? Kyle.

Welcome to the fit, healthy and happy.

No, no, I'm talking to you, not them. Well, I need to do the intro first. Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me. What's going on, everybody? Welcome to Fit Healthy and Happy podcast. These just get cringier and cringier, but that's okay. I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host. K-J-G. my middle name's Jay

like Joseph so I kind of

anyways I'm host k j g my middle name's jay j my middle name's j like joseph so i kind of anyways i messed that one up

well that was something so uh let's just jump right into it i don't know if we're going to be able to

recover from that yeah but we're going to do our best and we got another installment on mailbox

money this is a very popular popular episode um well kind of episode series of episode on

this podcast so thank you to everyone who submits questions who loves just hearing us answer

questions and who's trying to grow with their fitness knowledge i think that's absolutely

amazing all right what's the what's the first question kj g kj g uh we've we've got a bunch here. You got something for my boy? From my boy. Yang. Yang. On a caloric deficit, is it harder to get stronger as less food is consumed for the body-builded muscle and therefore increased strength, or we still be able to increase strength with losing fat? So... I know you love this one. I love this question. This is something I'm all about. And me and Kyle actually had a whole episode called Shredded Strength. A whole series on YouTube. They're great episodes. I mean, they're a little older, but definitely Serge Colossiveness, shredded strength. If you want some good content. It was basically documenting us shredding down about 20 pounds each and getting ready for a power lifting meat

So we're trying to get absolutely you know peeled for summer get those those solid shreds in

But also compete in power lifting maintain our strength and if not increase our strength now we're able to do this

You know at a very beginner level. i think a lot of the strength loss

will come down to mental factors too many people tap out too early um and the loss of food of course

will restrict your energy expenditure um it's just the way it goes you know your body adapts

and if anything that's why yes it's hard to kind of increase strength so if you think about it

if you're actually in a deficit to lose weight, you know, you are not, you're catabolic essentially, you're not in a surplus, you're not an anabolic state because your body is therefore restricting itself, it has trouble kind of building on that. Now new gains is kind of the way around this. If you're a beginner, you know that newker stimulus will kind of take off and you can be really effective at a certain level

it's just not gonna happen but we prove that you can maintain pretty much all of it

we had some crazy numbers and we did our best by you know being intelligent about

it and obviously you can minimize the effects of a diet by utilizing tools like

carbri feeds diet breaks all these tools we mentioned on last week's podcast.
