Looking for advice. Been cutting for 8 weeks, dropping from 157 to 145. Majority of that was the first 6 weeks and dad to up reta from 6mg to 10mg after the 6 weeks. The past 2 weeks I’ve lost around 1lb max. Sleep has been suffering, waking up early, feeling fatigued but pushing through. I’m dropping the weight from a lackluster bulk where I didn’t take my diet seriously and gained too much fat, which I’m paying for now. I started that bulk at around what I think was 12-13% at 138lbs finishing at 157. Not sure what bf%. Trying to get to 10% before attempting to bulk up cleanly this next time around after learning my lesson, but I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels being such a low weight for my height and pushing it further. I realize being on TRT gives me the opportunity to up the dose but I'd prefer to do things right before. Hoping to get some guidance to help me along this journey and to get some honest thoughts. Hope this isn't too scattered lol.
