Recomposition Training Style: Build Muscle and Get Leaner
How body recomposition works in SUUPR and who should choose it over a pure bulk or cut.
Choose Recomposition when you want to gain or keep muscle while gradually getting leaner. It works best with consistent lifting, high protein, realistic calories, and patience.

The rules that matter
- Keep lifting performance as the anchor. Recomp fails when strength collapses.
- Use enough volume to build or maintain muscle, but do not train like recovery is unlimited.
- Eat high protein and avoid aggressive calorie swings.
- Judge progress by photos, measurements, strength trends, and consistency, not scale weight alone.

How SUUPR handles it
SUUPR stores this as the Recomposition training style. It should keep muscle-building work in the plan while helping you avoid burying recovery.
