Hey guys, its been a long time since i've been on here. I have a pretty good idea of what i want to do and how to diet for this goal, but i want some pointers and suggestions on what works for you all when you have tried or if you were to try, what you may do for lifts.

What i want to accomplish is lean out, but at the same time i want to try not to lose much weight if i can avoid it while doing this in a timely fashion. I have gotten a little older and my body is a better place for weight flux, and i've been natural for about 2 years now.

180-weight
25-age
about 15%-bf
5'11"-height
lifting consistantly this go round for 4 months

my main question is whether you guys think it'll be easier to cut and give weight and some muscle up quickly and then bulk, or if i could set up my diet and lifts right and would i be able to drop bf% quickly without losing weight or muscle?

Any suggestions or ideas for a set/rep ratio for workouts and stuff would be great.
