Muscle Building Focus
When facing limitations in physical activity due to conditions like scoliosis, building muscle becomes essential for increasing metabolism. Instead of drastically cutting calories, the focus should be on gradually increasing muscle mass to support a higher caloric intake. This approach helps prevent the struggle of maintaining a low-calorie diet while aiming to lose body fat.In this clip

I have a question about this episode GAIN MUSCLE: Try These Lifting Techniques to Start BUILDING MORE MUSCLE | Mind Pump 1911 and this Tracking Body Fat. I am currently running MAPS Anabolic, hitting 8,000-10,000 steps per day, and inconsistently tracking my calories and macros. On average, I am consuming about 2,400 calories per day.
I have a question about the episode 1694: Avoiding Weight Gain When Reducing Activity, Deficit Deadlifts, & More (Live Coaching) and the clip Testosterone and Lifestyle. I'm 5'10", 36 years old, 234 lb with 30% body fat. For my job, I mostly stand at a machine throughout the day, and I usually only get about 4,000 to 6,000 steps. I do MAPS Anabolic 3 days a week. After reversing up to 3,000 calories for 12 weeks about a month ago, I cut my calories to 2,450. Since then, I've only dropped 3 lb. Should I cut my calories to 2,200 or should I just stay the course? My macros are 234 g protein, 198 g carbs, and 75 g fat.
I was a personal trainer and group fitness coach for about six years, maintaining a weight of around 205-210 lbs while averaging 17,000-20,000 steps per day and strength training about 2-3 days a week. Now, I feel like I am struggling to drop below 246 lbs and 30+% body fat, despite my exercise routine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
