[CC10]

is it possible to gain strength while trying to cut? say im 205lbs with 13% and im trying to cut down to 8-10% is it possible to still increase my strength or keep it the same while doing so? what about gaining muscle?

Possible? Yes

Reality? No

Your best bet if you're wanting to lean out a little is to do your best to try and maintain the strength and muscle mass you already have.

If i try to lean out - i try and keep my protein intake up high and keep my workout intensity high. It's more mentally tough for me......

If you want to lean out - try your best to maintain strength but if you lose a bit...... it's okay.

yes, but it's not easy, you have to manipulate your diet so that you are giving your body what it needs at all times, while still keeping in a calorie deficit, that being that, you will obviously have better results in a caloric surplus
