Dane explains why most men accidentally lose muscle instead of fat when dieting and how to cut correctly without sacrificing size or strength. This episode breaks down the science and strategy behind preserving muscle through moderate deficits, high protein intake, heavy training, and long-term consistency.

when they’re actually losing muscle.

Because the goal isn’t to lose weight.
The goal is to look powerful, lean, athletic, and defined.
And that requires strategy, not starvation.
