3D Muscle Journey

Brad, Alberto, and Jeff discuss when, why, and how to minicut.

How do the coaches think about and program minicuts? What are the downsides of aggressive minicuts? Why do the coaches oftentimes prefer a slower approach to fat loss over an aggressive minicut? What are the prerequisites for minicutting? What are the coaches' thoughts on prescribing cardio during a minicut?

The answers to these, plus many more questions about minicuts are covered in this episode.
