Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice. I've been trying my hardest to put quality muscle mass on since December '18 (really even a little prior to that), but I've come to a dilemma where I realized summer is right around the corner and I want to be a little tighter/cut looking than I do now.
Current macros are: 300p, 400c, 97f and I'm barely maintaining 205lbs at 6' height. Below are pics as of yesterday morning..
My question is: what should I do to get in better shape at this point? Keep eating around maintenance levels, lifting heavy (my training revolves around the compound lifts) and cardio about 3 times a week + patience? I'm considering slowly dropping carbs, maybe dropping 20g per day per week, but I don't want to lose strength (the struggle!). If I can just get my midsection to tighten up for now i'd be happy!
Besides my question, my thoughts coming into this post are - once I recover from my last cycle, I'm thinking about using MSten for 6 weeks to maybe drop fat and recomp me with carbs around 1g/lb instead of 2g/lb. With this plan, I can probably recomp properly and keep if not gain strength..
Thoughts? I know this is a lot and will require some trial and error. Just looking for general direction. I may have left details out, but I think I got it all.
