I am about to finish my first HST cycle and I've had some really good results. I had let myself get really out of shape. I was 5'7" 176 lbs with about 25% BF. Since I was so out of shape I cut this first cycle. After 7 weeks I am down to about 158 lbs with about 17% BF.
For my second cycle I can't decide if I should do another cut or go on a very slow gain (aim for .5 to 1 lb per week). When I first started my goal was to get down to 10% BF before I went on a gain, but since I don't have much LBM to begin with I think it might be very hard to get that low. What advice does anyone have? Should I keep trying to cut or do a gain?
