Why Recomping Doesn't Work
Listen now
Description
Recomping is all the rage these days – dropping body fat and building muscle at the same time.  Every prominent YouTube channel has videos talking about how the traditional bulk/cut methodology is outdated and doesn’t work, based on a handful of studies that assess the feasibility of recomping, with one big issue – they completely discount the practical, human elements involved.  So today I dive in on why recomping is generally not a sound plan, exceptions to that, and what we should do instead. And in the second segment – a common question I get asked as a bodybuilding coach is “how long will it take me to see results?” – which is, of course, unknowable.  So instead let’s dive in on what influences those results and what we should be focusing on for success instead of a timeline.
