Hi everyone! I am somewhat new to lifting, I have essentially been bulking for about a little less than year now and have made some impressive gains while learning a lot. So I am about to start my first cut... and am terrified.
First of all, I am a teen. I am 16, about 5'2" and 150 lbs. From comparing to pics, I believe I am about 25% to 26% body fat. I know there is a lot of controversy regarding teen cutting, but based on my research, and on the fact that I have not grown in 3 years (my growth was a little stunted from unrelated reasons) , I dont see much of a problem trying to shed some fat. Especially if it is only for a couple months.
I was planning on starting my cut around middle of March and becoming a bit leaner by June by doing a carb cycling method with longer reps (about 10-12) in my workouts, as well as incorporating cardio through walking my dog every day. I thought this sounded like a decent plan.
One thing I am terrified of is losing my gains. It is scary to think about losing all of the work put into building my muscles! But I do think I need to shed some fat so they really pop and I have more abs!
The other thing I was curious about is what to do in between bulking and cutting? Like what do I do when my body is at a good bf% in June, but I dont plan on bulking again until September?
Thanks guys for any input you have!
