Advice Requests
: "47, lifting 27 years. Cutting calories has hit my strength hard. I’m trying to reduce lifting volume, add more cardio and improve recovery while retaining as much muscle as possible. Lower volume/higher intensity has been difficult. Any advice from those who’ve done something similar? (Not on TRT)"
