Guys, I need your advice. When I cut (2000cals, more than 2g protein per kg weight, LC) I usually loose 1kg muscle for each 2kg of fat I loose. When I bulk (3000cals, 2g protein per kg weight, LC) I usually gain slightly less than 2kg of fat for each 1kg of gained muslce. That means that, over time, I am basically not going anywhere in terms of body composition.

What can I do to offset that ratio and maybe gain more muslce when bulking and/or loose less muscle when cutting?

Some people write I should do lot of strangth training at least 5 times a week when cutting (I dont understand that since that process is catabolic and breaks down muscle and should hence add to my muscle loss). Then people write that you can exercise about 3 times a week during bulking despite adding like 500cals to the diet and maybe reducing protein intake.

In order to cut and save muscle you need to keep cortisol low so avoid stress at all cost and when not possible buy supplements that do it for you.

Lean xtreme works as a blessing and the before 2013 versione even more, it was almost as running a cycle.

Here you go dude.

This video basically tells me that it doesn't matter what you do long term, the result is same. In my case I am not seeing much progress at all in term of composition for about a year which means I do something wrong but cant figure out what.
