The reaon many give up on a long time cut, its because its their first one , and the need for strength (and better meal choices for some) waives them from the goal...Quit winning and cut , look into Lean Gains or Lyle McDonald Ultimate Diet 2.0 , w.e works for you , but learn , apply, compare results and keep going. I was a fat lard of 180lbs 25%+ bf and cut down to 7% in 7 months to 126lbs , without PH/DS or any of the risky paths , no clen and no t3 either...so if I can do it , why can't you? IMO nobody should bulk up unless they have already cut out for the first time...but thats just me...I COULD be wrong, but patience and perseverance are what build you stronger in the mind, how can you become stronger (physically) if you cant even stick to a goal, tough it out , pull through and meet it?. You can do it , if you need advice we're here for that, and seriously, just CUT...
PS: It is possible and quite easy to get the abs...once you know the right stuff...like I said , just do some more research and ask if you get stuck somewhere. Nothing better than waking up to pretty ABs in the mirror and a hot chick naked on your bed dude lol.
