okay so im ready to start my cut to let all my hard work show off and was hopping that you guys could help critique my cutting phase. im currently 5' 9'' 163lb and 18.8%bf(used one of those hand held ones at the gym) and my maintenance calories are 2876(used this sight freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator) i workout 6 on 1 off mon wed fri are my lifting days with a one mile warm up tues thurs sat are cardio. my goal is to drop at least 10% over the summer. my plan was to use a eca stack and have the proper diet with 3000cal a day and burn 1000cal in cardio over the six days so it would be mon wed fri 1000cal cardio with lifting tues thurs fri just 1000cal cardio. hows does this look? will it work? any suggestion? thanks for all that help

So you want to drop 10% to 8.8% bf or drop to 10%? That's a pretty lofty goal either way. Your 3000 cals definitely need to drop down and what is the breakdown. Post a sample of your diet w/ macros and it'll make it easier to critique. Are you burning 1000 cals per week or 2000?

Have you been at or near this bf % before? 8-9% is pretty lean!!

You're only burning about 125 cals with your one mile warmup on lifting days, and regardless of the variance in cals burnt from lifting, it's definitely not 875! Not sure where you're getting the assumption you're burning 1000 cals a day from? IF you're assuming this is from your normal daily activity, I'm pretty sure that's already baked into your cal maintenance number.
