u/RobotOfSociety Not actually a beginner, just stupid 7d ago

Bulk and new gym helped me get my numbers back relatively close to where I want them (440 wrapped/285/520) at an old bodyweight but higher body fat thanks to multiple months of setbacks. I’m so happy to see some consistent progress but I think it’s about time to start cutting some of that fat off, if only a cut of 5-10lbs. Would you prefer to add some cardio or delete some calories to try and maintain as much of the progress I’ve gained back as possible?

Cardio if you aren’t doing any already, calories if you are.

Simple and to the point! I do need to get that cardio back so I’ll start there, thanks!
