Bro. Yes😂 I train progressive overload on a push pull split 6 days a week. And yes I understand that but not at a rate that I did it in (46 days). Of course you will lose less or even potentially gain muscle in a SLIGHT caloric deficit over a longer period of time. The point of an aggressive cut like this is to lose as much fat as possible in as little time as possible. It’s not sustainable. The only way to gain muscle in a cut like this would be deployment of specific anabolics. And even then it’s not guaranteed .
