30 Seconds SummaryHow can you gain muscle while losing fat & more
- Bayesian Bodybuilding, founded on the principles of Thomas Bayes, uses rational and scientific approaches to bodybuilding, differing from traditional methods focused on 'feel' like soreness or 'the pump'.
- Bayesian reasoning extends beyond scientific truth to form practical beliefs about bodybuilding based on all available evidence and data.
- It is possible and should be expected to gain muscle while in a caloric deficit if your training program is optimized, contrary to the common fitness culture belief that it's not feasible.
- Optimized body recomposition involves proper management of protein intake, macro nutrients, exercise routines, sleep, and stress, without relying on a singular 'magic trick'.
- Muscle growth during a caloric deficit relies on the body’s ability to utilize existing fat stores and dietary intake for energy, with sufficient protein and water also necessary.
- Intermittent fasting (IF) can be beneficial for body recomposition for certain personality types, but is not universally the best method for fat loss due to possible impairments in muscle anabolic signaling and cognitive function.
