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","meta_description":"In this episode of Hypertrophy Past & Present , Jake and Chris break down how to structure a training program during a dieting phase.
