INSIGHT

Don't Overhaul Training In A Deficit

  • Training shouldn't radically change during a calorie deficit; maintain progressive overload to avoid muscle loss.
  • Reduced recovery means adjust volume, not abandon strength work, to preserve muscle and strength.
ANECDOTE

Built From Coaching And Personal Experience

  • Philip built CHISEL from years of personal and coaching experience as a middle ground for cuts.
  • The program focuses on preserving strength rather than chasing new PRs during a deficit.
ADVICE

Follow A Flexible 4-Day Upper/Lower Split

  • Run a four-day upper/lower split with two heavy strength days and two volume hypertrophy days while dieting.
  • Progress loads within the target rep ranges across six weeks and swap or cut exercises based on recovery.
