Ok guys need a little imput here.
I learned a lot last year from HST site. I learned that basically I can eat whatever I want as long as I burn more calories than I take in (during a cut).
Well last year I got down from 187 to 174 and I was about 8% body fat.
I feel I cut to much last year and lost too much muscle.
Right now I am at about 188 again however I look better and you can still see the abs a little bit.
I am going to continue to bulk until end of March then I will start cutting for Summer.
Here is my question.
If possible I don’t want to lose as much weight this cut around. I would like to drop some pounds but keep more muscle if possible.
I was thinking of eating a little cleaner during the cut which would naturally give me a little more protein. Also I was going to drink way more water and drop the carbs drastically for one month.
My thinking was that my doing this I could look better at a higher bodyweight by holding less water and depleting carbs?
Am I thinking right on this?
My workout will be a HST full body routine 4 times a week. ( which I am debating on maybe just doing upper / lower split instead
?
What do you guys think?
Thanks
