looking for cutting advice

eddievolondo · 06-07-2009, 01:51 PM

Hi, I would just like a little advice as Im weighing 73Kg, 5'9'' 15%BF and looking to cut.
I got the diet right and training is fine, Im just a bit worried its going to look wrong cutting down below 10%, because Im not massively built.
to be honest Im a bit bored of my bulking regime and wanted to try for some different results this time. At my size now, is it just going to make me look ill, or will it look good enough to get some photo shots done to add to my portfolio?

Does anyone have past experience on a similar situation?

cheers

If you cut properly, you won't look ill. You'll likely have a physique similar to that of a middleweight boxer. If your goal is something like that, then go for it. However, if you want to be bigger, keep bulking.

Post a picture of what you look like now and we could give better information/suggestions regarding what you could do.

First without looking at your picture its hard to say, for one if you have small muscles then you will look pretty small but then you could lean bulk and keep your bf around 10. I myself looked great around 10% although my arms were small so I bulked up fixed that and now I'm lean bulking but with more cardio then before to get below 10% with same size arms.

how do you mean lean bulk? i leave carbs well low 6 days a week, then one heavy carb day, protein stays high and consistent throughout. also... how important is tracking fat levels? i should have a photo uploaded, might not give that great an insight as its not really a posing shot..
