I would very much like to get to 8%. I’ll aim for that and if I land a bit higher by the end (9-12%) still solid. I’m by no means a bodybuilder but I do have a solid base of muscle. There’s just a lot of abdominal and love handle fat that I want to shred for the summer to get that peeled midsection look. Once there I plan to maintain for a bit then slowly build lean tissue without gaining too much fat (later cycles ofc). But first I want to get as peeled and shredded as possible regardless of being flat or not being big. I gain size pretty quick on a bulk and my last lean bulk I went from 15-18% and got put on a good amount of muscle.
All that aside, my main goal right now is just to get peeled. I dropped my calories that low to speed up the process and also was told that metabolism won’t suffer as I’m on t3. And the main reason my cals are that low is because I have absolutely 0 appetite. I hate eating, I genuinely struggle eating which isn’t bad as I’m trying to cut but that’s the main reason for low cals. This could be because when I first started gear last year I was skinny as fuck at only 175lbs and bulked all the way up till now and I’m just sick of eating so now I’m trying to eat less. This was my intended approach. Of course I came here for better knowledge so with that in mind is your advice still to up the cals?
Edit: another part of my plan was that as I drop carbs lower and lower (in my own intended plan) and cals slightly lower nothing less than 1900 I’ll have refeed days once a week to help out. I’m not the most advanced when it comes to cutting as I’ve been bulking ever since I started gear. Now just looking to get shredded and lean for the first time.
