Remember that fasting helps preserve muscle during weight loss

this isn't true

eta: to be productive, the three controllable things that actually make a difference for this, in order of importance:
1. doing some amount of resistance training
2. not losing weight too fast
3. eating a reasonable amount of protein

everything else is like on the margins stuff that maybe matters if you're getting super lean (by your body's standards) and trying to step onto a bodybuilding stage at the end

I agree. I now have an adductor injury (or psoas, or illiac, not sure) that happened yesterday which will limit everything physical (I can't walk, train, jump, or do pretty much anything). This sucks.

Comments: Did more volume for my bench press. I am ok-ish with it, given that I'm lighter now than when I was doing 70x5 (I was about 92 kg back then). I would still like to increase my bench to 80x5.
