here's the thing with eating in deficits and preserving muscle... you have to know HOW to eat at a deficit properly to preserve muscle... thats the key to all of this... why do we think recomping is the hardest objective of anything we do... its because the diet is everything with it... certain compounds are far better in terms of muscle preservation but if your working out as hard as you should be, its quite different than when your stagnant or have a disease and using it for muscle preservation... the scenarios are far different and thats what skews results.. trust me, the capability is there for sure with sarms especially because that is what they were intended to do upon creation but if your not taking in the adequate nutrients, not calories but nurtients needed to still build muscle, then it does not matter what you are taking... there's good ratios to meet and many fall short because they do not understand how to control calories but still get the proper nutrients... that comes down to this... two areas... 1. a lack of understanding of their own body response 2. a lack of understanding how to accommodate your diet to get the necessities while eating at a deficit... also, at times genetics play a huge role in this...
often times i get people that say i can stay cut because of genetics... what fucking genetics? noone in my family was EVER even close to cutting like me... my genetics are with size and that's why i have to work so hard to stay where im at... if i eat 3000-3500 calories which is STILL below my maintenance, i will gain a fucking lot of weight very fucking fast... so i have to be very controlled and i understand my body and how it works... thats the first step here... rad has the capabilities for sure, but the diet has to be adequate and dialed in first...
