Is it possible that an advanced trainee – everything else being equal such as appropriate protein intake, quality training, refeeds in place etc – will find it harder to maintain mass than someone with only a moderate amount of strength and muscle size? In other words, would two trainees at say 15 pc bodyfat, but with very different amounts of lbm, need (again everything else being equal) different sized deficits for example, to maintain mass/strength?

Hi Lyle! Great article, as per usual.

When will the second part be published? You’ve had some time to prepare it now.

How soon then would you want to decrease your sodium for a show? Days? Couple weeks? Assuming you were intaking a normal amount.

I am glad to FINALLY read an article not demonizing dairy. I see the need to cut out sugar but cottage cheese has been a staple of mine for years and I am almost 52 and …though not a body builder…very lean and I want to keep my bones healthy for the rest of my life. I am curious about the low fat dairy products. I KNOW that many good fats make the metabolizm work more efficiently and wonder the same about dairy. Is it good to buy low fat or non fat or is it better to buy whole fat dairy to help the liver remove more fat?.
