I'm about 10 pounds away from my cutting goal. Right now, I'm about ~15% bf. I am noticing that I am losing strength. My benching has dropped 10 pounds in strength. At the beginning of the cut, I was able to bench 90 pound dumbbells 10 reps, now I can do about 4 reps of 90 pounds. How do I approach the strength loss? Should I continue to do the same weight with less reps OR should I lower the weight to equate my 10 reps per set?

maybe it is fatigue, try creatine

cutting too fast

Just stop.



Most likely or improper carb partioning.

ps op you shouldn't cut towards a bw number, that's faulty thinking and sets u up to failure and neurotic driven decisions

stop what

I'm 5'11, 185 pounds. My macros are 46/205/205 2050 kcal. I am at fault for sometimes removing 10-20 grams of carbs and eating those 10-20 grams of proteins instead. What should I do from here then if I am cutting too fast?

you could lower your volume some so you can more effectively hit your top sets, and eat more carbs pwo (thats what i like), as lightman started on to

/e to your post. i'd eat 75ish grams of my carbs pwo

2k cals lol

That's your problem bro

I'm following this website as to how many kcal I should consume. It says to eat 1876 kcal to lose 2 pounds a week or 2376 kcal to lose 1 pound a week. I just went down the middle with 2050. Should I start to eat 2376?

Yeah, I'm going to start this. I would comsume protein more pwo and leftover protein/rest of carbs and fat after w/o.

What is your bf%
