[Gherhes]

Hello , i have been lifting for almost 3 years , and i reached 218 lbs at 6'2 .

In 6 and 25 september there are 2 bb competions in my country and i would like to enter them both .

I need help in finding out when i should start preparing for them , should i start now or wait a little longer .

How should i start cutting , i am willing to follow any program that can help me .

If there are other things that i missed , feel free to ask away .

whats your split now ? no need to really change your split since you cant build muscle whenyou diet only maintain so what ever builds muscle best will maintain best

whats your macros or diet now ?

Who says you cant build muscle while dieting? Maybe not the last 4-6 weeks...but my stregnth has always continued to improve during the early stage of a diet.

I agree on the building while dieting....
To me... dieting is all about structured eating with the goal to build muscle and lose fat..random eating is not part of the plan...but the problem here is that there is no clear plan to follow...
No disrespect intended..

You can build muscle while in a caloric deficit?
