  • Dumb question here.. So if I am aiming to lose one pound a week, giving me 1750 calories a day, and I'm eating under that amount - will I not be able to gain muscle with strength training?

    You can gain STRENGTH while losing weight.

    But you will not be gaining muscle mass while losing weight.

    Unless you're new to lifting and get noob gains and are obese.

    I am probably around 8 or 9% body fat currently (avatar is few weeks old) and I am coming near the end of my cut, I don't do ANY cardio. But I can control my diet and don't really get cravings.

    Other people are different you gotta find what works for you.
