Even though I was getting weaker I figured I had to give my body a reason to see muscle tissue as something that it should hold on to, and I was never a big cardio guy because of the bodyweight. These days I've cut back on all that, usually doing whole body 3 or 4 days a week to put more emphasis on making the walking progressive. Between the weights and the walking, many days I'm physically active 6-8 hours a day. I sounds a little nuts but I think I retained some muscle all things considered, pecs and traps seem decent. Shoulders disappeared though lol. Legs shriveled up too but seem to be improving lately.
I'm not sure how to adjust my training as I come off the cut though. Part of me wants to go back to the Starr 4 Day heavy, light, medium, medium setup or run a ss lp, the other thinking is that may even try a strength focused bro split to try to fill in some of this loose skin, it really, really bugs me. I'm hoping time will help but I was heavy my whole life.
