How much weight should you loose during a cut per week?

[Proud Pangolin]

Hey guys so how much weight should you loose during a cut per week to keep as much muscles as possible?
Im in preparation for my next cycle (so right now im not on gear at all obviously).
So i want to get pretty lean, to them put on as much muscle as possible during.the cycle.

However, how much weight should I lose per week, to keep as much muscle as possible. (Excluding the first week.where you lose a lot of water weight)

Depends on the length of said cut. If you're only cutting for a couple of weeks I wouldn't worry about muscle loss at all (assuming diet and training are in check). 2lbs/week seem to be the sweet spot for many people.

Assuming diet and training are in check, there is no reason for you to lose muscle even at 2lbs/week (natural or not), ESPECIALLY at your body fat levels.

Do what is likely to result in more diet adherence.

Depends on bodyfat, 1-2lbs a week is generally the consensus which i agree with. If we’re talking someone whos morbidly obese then you can lose much more
