| Yes, they are anabolic, so will spare muscle while cutting.
If your logic is to remove any mass builders while cutting, you would have to remove squats, bench, ohp, chins, rows etc etc too, and all you'd be left with is bicep curls and tricep kickbacks.
However, having said that, while cutting be VERY careful if you're using
volume and/or too much intensity. The idea of cutting is to spare muscle - i.e. stimulate just enough, as overtraining is much easier when you don't have an excess of calories. |
