    mini cut... HELP!

    okay about 2 months ago i finished cutting for 6 weeks, very gradually i began to raise the cals adding in more carbs week by week, now i'm above maintenance and had managed to keep the fat down at 11.5% up until last week (got as low as 10% on the cut) but this week i switched from a very high volume to a very low volume (HIT) style program, also had no time for cardio and had to eat out on a couple of occassions, I can tell i've put fat on I took at mid-week reading at 13% i'm expecting to be 13.5-14% now, its a real nightmare I thought it had gone for good but its all back on

    I can't just let it go, I felt great cut n' now i'm feeling really shit again!.. if i cut carbs this week and added in the CV and the volume reckon I could trim this fat back off in a couple of weeks? or have I totally screwed up and do I need to plan another big ass cutting cycle? (effectively taking another 2-3 months off my muscle building progress!) I hope not

    how should I go about this?

    peace

    are you doing any cardio ?
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    no didn't have time last week, that is like my first week in a LONG time i have not done any cardio - another reason why the BF went up, it all hit me last week with the diet being a bit off, not cardio and starting low volume/HIT methods

    i'm very tempted to just add in the volume and HIIT cardio sessions back then gradually cut down till i lose it again? hopefully it will come off fast!

    don't have a clue, doubt its much different from my cut, i'm still eating relatively clean, measuring BF on scales but I can see it in the mirror too! I was so lean a few weeks ago its so damm fustrating!
