Episode notes
Trainers' Weight Loss Challenge
- Sal recounts Adam's story about a staff fitness challenge.
- Many trainers, despite their knowledge, lost muscle while losing weight, highlighting the difficulty of preserving muscle during weight loss.
Measure Body Fat and Strength
- Track weight loss progress with weekly body fat tests using calipers or more accurate methods.
- Monitor strength levels; maintaining or increasing strength indicates fat loss and likely muscle preservation or growth.
Waist and Muscle Size
- Don't be discouraged by slight strength loss while cutting, as it's common.
- Observe waist circumference and muscle size; a shrinking waist with maintained muscle mass suggests successful fat loss.
