Extending cruise while dieting

[Bobby Light]

Sure, you could do that and probably do a nice job of holding muscle mass / strength, I'd bet.

A Few thoughts:

Your blasts won't always last 6 weeks - duration is auto regulated.

You might cut the Blast before your mini-diet a bit short in terms of duration, so you don't go into the dieting prolonged cruise with compromised recovery. (Maybe if it WERE to be a 6 week Blast, as your best guess, make it a 4 week blast.)

I'd then probably structure the 4 week cruise as a 3d/wk training alternating between Day 3 and Day 4 of the program (Muscle Rounds), and NOT making the last ⅓ of the IC non-training), but rather taking a short break (just skip the last of what would be 12 workouts), before firing into the next Blast.

Thanks Scott..and yeah I know the length of blasts will vary in duration based on a number of factors, was more just giving a black and white example to get my point across I like the idea you mentioned there, it’s more or less what I was thinking about doing to the T.
