teens and stupid low calouries

[Palentia]

Okay this is hypothetical but i'm super curious
On gear I've seen logs with guys with stupid low caloric intake dropping percentages of bf yet they maintain muscle and sometimes put on up to 6 pounds in muscle...blows my mind
Anyway my question is since everyone's all 19 year olds have stupid amounts of test without roads wouldn't teens also be able to have stupid low calouries and cut weight without being scared of muscle loss?
Like i am not an expert on nutrition in any means haha when PL i did the see food diet haha

No. Teens don't have "crazy high test levels". It just seems that way because testosterone is new to them and they are experiencing hormonal fluctuations.

Agreed with bonaparte, they are just in most cases in the mid to upper scale of optimal range ( no different than a low dose trt patient in some cases)

most cycles base with at least 350-500mg ew of synthetic test which is more than double even triple or what a natural teen would produce naturally in terms of ng/dl

on a side note, being thier active life style and their test levels in the area they are they should have no problems making great gains or even cutting and preserving LBM as long as diet is in check we all can.

IMO, a teen that's interested in bodybuilding would be unlikely to have the need to cut to begin with. i.e. he probably will have been following a fairly 'healthy' eating regimen to begin with, unless it's your random 'woke up one morning and decided to pursue an IFBB pro card' type of teen. Point being most teens shouldn't need to go extremely hypocaloric, instead focusing on building a muscle base.

I think you also forget that extremely low calorie diets can negatively impact hormone levels. And since the teen is producing their own hormones, not taking exogenous test, then they will suffer. Take home from it is don't do a stupid low calorie diet. In fact in most cases I don't think youth should be dieting, and just eating healthy instead, and splurging here and there is fine.
