Idk if I should cut

[robbie1jost]

Ok so I've been going pretty hard at the gym for the past 8 months or so and I've made some incredible gains. I am at my highest weight ever. Im 6'0 and 207lbs I really wanna lose my fat so my muscle is a lot more visible but I'm also scared to lose all my progress that I've made... if I do lose any strength how hard is it too get it back? Idk Im really lost I just wanna get shredded but I'm scared about the muscle loss part I hear is "inevitable" please help!

Well, it depends (also showing some pics would help) but from what you said, ur basiclly scared of losing muscle and strength, well let me tell ya, yes ull lose a little bit of strength but dont worry about it, you can get it back in 2 weeks, and about the muscle loss when cutting, what do you want me to say, didnt happen to me, ull lose weight obviously but u wont lose your progress at all, now u gotta be carefull with this, cz u say you've been hitting it hard, but did you bulk with a proper diet? and how long have you been lifting for? 8 months or more?, sometimes if you've been lifting for a short period, part of the gains are water and glutamine, which if you cut down hardcore, ull lose all that water therefore ull feel u get skinnier, but if u think you look great, totally go for it, ur not going to become skinny from cuting, just the opposite, ur going to look bigger, thats what the cuting does, make you look better


PD: sry for my bad ass english xD
PD2: again, some pics would help

Yes I've been lifting for quite some time now like 1 year+ or so I didn't bulk just wasn't watching what I ate over the summer. I gained about 18 pounds in the process. And I'll send pictures in the morning

You're gonna have to get over your fear of losing progress. If you're bulking, you'll inevitably have to cut at some point. Just lose weight slowly, and you'll be fine. Any muscle you do lose will be minor, and you'll gain it back in no time when you start bulking again.

Trust me man, you don't want to end up a perma-bulker. Doesn't look good, and it isn't healthy.

Also, as a general rule, if you're above 20% bodyfat, cutting is a good idea.
