cutting phase
Fat loss stage
A cutting phase is a period of deliberate fat loss in bodybuilding or fitness, following a bulking phase where muscle was built along with some fat.
During a cut, people reduce calories while maintaining protein intake and training to preserve muscle mass while shedding fat: I'm in a cutting phase before the competition.
The goal is to reveal muscle definition underneath.
