Hey guys, need some advice on a few things. I started bulking in October at 146.2 pounds. Now I am currently 166.4 (as of last Thursday) pounds, and am planning to cut pretty soon as I definitely need to. Here are some pics of me relaxed and flexed after today's workout.
Judging based off these pictures, I am probably 20% body fat (correct me if I'm wrong). My goal is to be around 10% body fat by the end of August. My goal is primarily aesthetics, and I would like to get to 10% so I could bulk to 15% and cut to 8-10% from now on. I do not regret this bulk at all, as I at least have somewhat of a base to work with now.
Here are my questions:
1. Is this goal attainable by the end of August?
2. I was planning on starting my cut after this cycle of All-pro is finished for me, which would be in 4 weeks. Does this sound smart?
3. Would you recommend me switching to another workout regime? I have done All-Pro's Beginner Routine since I started in April of last year. Although I have stalled on it many times, the routine has definitely helped me develop a good foundation for lifting.
4. If I cut this much, will I still look like I lift? I don't want to lose most of the muscle that I spent months working on.
I know it is a lot of questions, but I rarely come here to ask for advice. Thanks in advance for the help!

i don't think 10% by end of august is attanable for you.
start your cut now, just keep lifting heavy.
Just lift heavy 3 times a week and do cardio 2 times a week, and eat a caloric deficit.
If you cut you will look 10x better than you do now.Sept 2010 250 Lb 42%bf
Sept 2011 174 Lb 16%bf <----------------Also current

A pound a week is doable over the next 4 months, which may get you close to 10%, but whether you'll look like you'll lift is anyone's guess.

What about 1.5/week? Do you think waiting 4 weeks is a bad idea?Originally Posted by necon76

Yeah I just want to finish out my cycle on bench press for All-pro's beginner routine. If I couldn't do it (let's say I stall at 10), I would just start cutting then.Originally Posted by necon76
