Squatted 200kg for 10 reps this week, but I dont feel good about it because im a fat manlet, but if I cut down to get ripped, all my strength will leave me. Im at a cross roads.Continue being brutally strong, but remain a fat manletor get ripped, and give up on strength and stop powerlifting
>>76951149merry Christmas and you should give being lean a try. if you do the diet right you wont lose that much strength, and you might love the way you look. lots of ladies like a lean look too if you care about that. and if you end up hating it, youll have lots of fun bulking back up
>>76951149You really won't lose much strength and only solong as you are actively on a deficit.
>>76951149>if I cut down to get ripped, all my strength will leave me.Lies. You nervous system and muscles remain. You will feel weaker because you will weight less.
>>76951176>>76951182>>76951192Nah I have cut before.I went from 94kg to 68kg and I went from elite lifts to novice tier liftsMy strength is heavily dependent on me being at a high bodyweightim only 170cm (5'6 or 5'7)This whole "You dont lose much strength bro" is bullshit. I lose a ton of it when Ive been ripped.
>>76951195Then you diet like a retard, skill issue.
>>76951195hm i say still do a cut then, you dont have to go so low but clean up your physique a bit. you will have to fight savagely to keep your gains and will lose some but i say its worth it. you refer to yourself as a "fat manlet" and thats just no way to go through life. and you can do something about the fat part
>>76951195Then explain those twinks lifting big.
>>76951203My leverages change massively from 94kg to 68kg buddyI go from a 40 inch waist to a 27 inch waist while my arms go from 17 inch to 15.5 inchThe core strength that helps me move all the weight gets completely dissipated as I lose all the fat from the midsection, this is a genetic thing, i store a lot of fat there, and it all comes off when im ripped in that same location.
>>76951149if you lose strength when you lose fat it was never your strength. it was ballast the fat was giving you./thread
