Why Lift On A Cut - Reasons?

[Vanchatron]

I was just wondering WHY it's necessary to lift whilst on a cut, apart from the obvious reasons which are:

- To keep Muscle
- To keep Strength
- To burn calories

Are there any other reasons to lift whilst on a cut? I was just wondering because if you're not building muscle, then is the above reasons the only reasons why you would continue to lift? Or can lifting on a cut give your muscles a better appearance/shape etc for when you finally shed the fat, thus making them look better than if you hadn't trained at all on the cut?

Thanks.

If you don't use it, you lose it!

And if you stop lifting, your metabolism will slow, making it harder to shred fat.

Good points, thanks.

There are only CONS to not lifting either cutting or bulking.

Not lifting and trying to sculpt a body is impossible.

You either get small and weak, or get fat.

I can give you a marble stone, but you need a hammer and chisel to carve it out. Without it, you get nowhere.
