Keep protein high, eat clean, and Scivation Xtend or another good BCAA product.

worked for me

i just get my carbs in early in the day and around workout time. i do cardio six 5-6 days a week and i lift heavy doing compound movement. works for me.

bump, any suggestions?.. if i did some low intensity cardio, about 10-15 min speedwalking before a workout will that help?.. or will it interfere with size gains

some stretching and joging before a wrokout is always a good idea as long as its in moderation,especially during leg day,and static stretches are a big no,no as it inhibits your muscles from full contractions for 15 mins or so.moderation is the key as after a workout running will just be overkill for your muscles when their trying to repair after dammage.

for me,,,the best way of losing bf while keeping muscle is by keeping my calories the same but doing light cardio on non workout days for 20 minutes each time. if that doesnt drop enough fat just drop 500 calories and go from there

Carb cycling works for most ppl.

Don't cut out the sugars from fruit or dairy. Lactose and fructose behave differently than sugars like dextrose, sucrose, etc. They are low GI, slow releasing. Not to mention fruits are very nutrient dense.
