Many people are hesitant to strength train because they fear it will make them look bulky. So they want to cut extra body fat first, then gain from there. By doing this, you’re actually setting yourself back.

Don’t worry - you aren’t starting completely over. You haven’t lost all your strength or muscle. Your body will adapt more quickly than it did when you first started.

Jaré and I have tried many different training styles over the years, from bodybuilding to bodyweight to barbell strength training, all of which have different splits and programming. They all have benefits and downsides, and I learned a lot from each one of them.
