My first year was losing 45 pounds and gained about 12-15lbs of muscle. In that year I did2 cuts and now Im on the second bulk and wanted to go for a while and bulk. But I never got down past 16% body fat at my lowest. Ive been on my second bulk around 200-500 calories in surplus for 16 weeks and my waist has gone up an 1-1/4". Looking at my average weigh ins Im at 0.4lbs weekly increase so it looks about right. I thought right after the holidays to do a mini cut just to get rid of some excessive fat but was wondering since Im still in 16-17% body fat and 1 year training (progressive overlaod always) can I still do another cut this spring and still build muscle while burning fat??????? Or is bodycomp and newbie no longer advaible for a 1 year vet weight lifter.
Training started in upper lower 4 days a week with hitt cardios, basketball on saturdays
Second half of training has been 3 days a week full body work out and basketball on saturdays
