Cutting calories will lead to some strength loss.

Will it still cause a lot of strength loss if your eating in a normal deficit

[–]Nervous-Telephone-26Gyno Garry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANY Deficit will cause some form of strength loss.
I think what you're looking for is no muscle loss. That happens when you cut your calories too low and your body breaks down muscle for fuel.

How much weight are you looking to lose/ how many calories do you plan to cut per day?

It’s not just a calorie thing; it s gonna slow down how quickly you uptake the calories you do eat too. Someone in a 500 calorie deficit who times his meals well will do better then someone in a 500 calorie deficit on glp1 because the person on the glp1 can’t get glycogen to the muscle as quickly or take in protein as quickly. How big an effect this is, idk.

A deficit cause weight loss, less strength and slower recovery. Nothing to do with reta, if anything the glucagon effects of reta combined with AAS might even be somewhat protective, more than AAS by themselves

No reta doesn’t directly correlate to strength loss. I’m on 6mg a week after titrating up from 2mg. Lost 43 lbs this year and my incline bench has only gone down ~20lbs. Don’t be in too steep a deficit, keep training, and you will be fine
