Body recomposition means losing fat and building muscle at the same time. It works best for beginners, people returning to training, and those with higher body fat. The keys are high protein, hard resistance training, and eating around or slightly below maintenance calories.
Is body recomp possible?
Yes, especially for certain groups. Advanced, lean lifters usually make faster progress focusing on one goal at a time, but many people can do both at once.
Who it works best for
- Beginners.
- People returning after a break.
- Those with higher body fat.
How to do it
- High protein: around 1.6 to 2.2g per kg, or a bit higher. See how much protein you need.
- Hard resistance training with progressive overload. See progressive overload.
- Calories around maintenance or a small deficit. See how many calories should you eat.
- Good recovery: sleep and rest. See sleep and muscle growth.
Be patient
Recomp is often slower than a dedicated bulk or cut, since you are doing two things at once. Consistency over months is what makes it work.
Train hard on lower calories
Training intensely while eating at or below maintenance is demanding. PUROX helps you keep your sessions strong. See pre-workout for cutting.
