im thinking of starting a cut but i dont know if im suppose to work out with the cut to prevent losing mass. Is there a method to cut efficiently and maintain muscle mass and stregth?

at 6'0 and 166 lbs, there should be no cutting necessary. You need mass first.
If you have no bodyfat to lose you're sure to burn muscle.

If you really are curious though theres: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...54&postcount=4

also, be sure to get some BCAA's to keep muscle loss down.
