Bulking, Cutting and Maintenance seasons

Coach Kinsley and Producer Mike focus on the three seasons of fitness: bulking, cutting, and maintenance.

Cutting follows, requiring a caloric deficit while maintaining high protein intake to preserve muscle mass.

Throughout the discussion, Coach Kinsley provides insights on nutrition, including the difference between clean and dirty bulking, and explains various cardio training zones for effective fat loss.
