Why Cutting Carbs Is Ruining Your Strength

Cutting carbohydrates to lose fat or relying on low-carb dogmas directly sabotages the intramuscular leverage and force production required to hold onto muscle. Coach Jon Heck breaks down how to turn your metabolism into a carbohydrate-processing engine by synchronizing peri-workout carbs, potassium intake, and training volume across distinct dieting phases. Learn how to strategically time your highest-fuel meals so you maintain peak strength in a deficit and maximize hypertrophy in a surplus. Jon Heck will be on Table Talk November 2nd, 2026!
