Quotable moments:
"When your training is oriented towards hypertrophy, you're always going to default towards at least preserving that muscle tissue during times of deficit." - Alan Aragon
"Resistance training is actually more effective for improving glucose control than aerobic training is." - Alan Aragon
"If somebody can do some kind of formal physical activity at least three days a week, then it'll give them some more leeway to eat more than just their bedridden caloric intake maintenance." - Alan Aragon
