As my goal is fat loss in Phase 2, is it okay to do a 3:1 protocol as mentioned in the recent podcasts—3 weeks cut and 1 week bulk—in this phase, or 2 weeks cut and 2 weeks bulk? I'm not sure what would be the best protocol, especially as Phase 3 is an entire cut phase, and I'm concerned I'd be in a cut for too long if I was in it for the majority of Phase 2.
What is the maximum cutting percentage you'd suggest for fat loss and muscle preservation? I think Adam mentioned in one of the podcasts that a cut/bulk could be anything between 350-1000 calories.
I have a question about the episode Drastically IMPROVE Your Odds Of Long-Term Fitness & Health Success | Mind Pump 2114 and the clip Calorie Tracking Balance. I am unsure if I want to be tracking calories my whole life, and I don't know what it will be like to maintain my weight at 145-160lbs without an app. What should I do in my situation: follow a more distinct bulk phase right now, adding .5lbs per week /.35%BW per week, then cutting and repeating; or a moderate bulk at .2-.3lbs per week /.15-.21%BW per week and then maintain at 145lbs or 150lbs?
