In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present, Jake and Chris break down how to structure a training program during a dieting phase. The episode begins with a deep dive into how Silver Era bodybuilders approached “definition” training, including a reconstructed Reg Park program, before moving into the physiological realities of training in a calorie deficit.
Key topics include:
• Why Silver Era bodybuilders didn’t drastically change their training when dieting
• Reg Park’s “definition” routine
• Why exercise variety may help prevent atrophy during a calorie deficit
• Why high volume and excessive fatigue are counterproductive when cutting
• How to adjust reps, load, and exercise selection based on equipment and fatigue
• Practical programming strategies
• Why most modern “evidence-based” takes on programming miss key physiological details
